The FT232R chip has an internal eeprom.
An external serial eeprom is optional on other FTDI chips.
The eeprom may contain 64, 128, or 256 words,
depending on the part used.
Multiple calls may be needed to read or write the larger parts.
When no eeprom is present, all words in the returned data are 0xffff.
An erased eeprom also reads as all 0xffff.
.It Dv UFTDIIOC_WRITE_EEPROM Pq Vt "struct uftdi_eeio"
Write one or more words to the configuration eeprom.

The FTDI chip does a blind write to the eeprom, and it will appear
to succeed even when no eeprom is present.
To ensure a good write you must read back and verify the data.
It is

necessary to erase before writing.
Any position within the eeprom can be overwritten at any time.
.It Dv UFTDIIOC_ERASE_EEPROM Pq Vt int
Erase the entire eeprom.
This is useful primarily for test and debugging, as there is no
need to erase before writing.
To help prevent accidental erasure caused by calling the wrong
ioctl, you must pass the special value
.Dv UFTDI_CONFIRM_ERASE
as the argument to this ioctl.
