CLI utility for programming CP210x USB<->UART bridges
Intended as a scriptable alternative to the official Silicon Labs CP21xx Customization Utility.
Tested with CP2102 and CP2105 chips.
Supported fields that can be programmed:
Programming a CP210x config field is a write-once operation. It's perfectly possible to write bad values. The consequences are yours, and yours alone.
Suffice to say that I've got a couple of modules which have a VID/PID of 0000:0000. Don't do that. If you happen to screw up the VID/PID anyway, in Linux you can sort-of work around it by registering the new VID/PID combo with the cp210x driver like so:
echo 0000 0000 | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/cp210x/new_idConsider yourself forewarned, and forearmed.
$ ./cp210x-cfg -h
Syntax:
cp210x-cfg [-h ] |
[-m vid:pid] [-d bus:dev]
[ -l | [-V vid] [-P pid] [-F flush] [-M mode] [-N name] [-S serial]]
-h This help
-m vid:pid Find and use first device with vid:pid
-d bus:dev Find and use device at bus:dev
-l List all CP210x devices connected
-V vid Program the given Vendor ID
-P pid Program the given Product ID
-F flush Program the given buffer flush bitmap (CP2105 only)
-M mode Program the given SCI/ECI mode (CP2105 only)
-N name Program the given product name string
-S serial Program the given serial string
Unless the -d option is used, the first found CP210x device is used.
If no programming options are used, the current values are printed.$ sudo ./cp210x-cfg -d 4.113 -M 0
