Environment

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (bionic)

Python: 3.6+

pyftdi: 0.53

Chip: FTDI FT232R (VID=0x0403, PID=0x6001)

Development setup: Windows (PyCharm SSH remote to Ubuntu host)

Problem (Serial Number Garbled)

When setting a serial number with pyftdi:

from pyftdi.eeprom import FtdiEeprom

eeprom = FtdiEeprom()
eeprom.open("ftdi://::/1")
eeprom.set_serial_number("ADDNAAIMC01")
eeprom.commit()
eeprom.close()

After replugging the device:

Ftdi.list_devices() shows garbled characters instead of "ADDNAAIMC01".

lsusb -v cannot display a valid serial string (iSerial).

However, reading back with eeprom._config.get('serial') still shows the correct "ADDNAAIMC01".

When programming the same serial with FT_Prog on Windows, everything works correctly.
