Step by Step EEPROM Programming Guide

First time setup

Install pre-requisite packages

apt update
apt install git make clang libusb-1.0-0-dev

dnf update
dnf install git make clang libusb1-devel

Clone, Compile, and Install ch341eeprom utility

git clone https://github.com/command-tab/ch341eeprom.git
cd ch341eeprom
make
sudo install -m755 ch341eeprom /usr/local/bin/

Test that ch341eeprom utility is working
```
ch341eeprom --help
```
Should return basic version / usage information.

Clone the programming script ch341eeprom-factory

git clone https://github.com/MtnMesh/ch341eeprom-factory.git
cd ch341eeprom-factory

All programming steps will be completed within the ch341eeprom-factory directory.

Initiate programming

You must specify the starting serial number.
```
python3 ch341_factory.py --serial 13374201 --product MESHTOAD --major-version 1 --minor-version 0
```
This example programs a device as MESHTOAD Hardware Version 1.0, serial number 13374201.

Ensure that you are holding the Program button when plugging in the device, or ch341eeprom will fail to read/write.
Ensure success

Programmed EEPROM for MESHTOAD 13374201

New EEPROM Contents: ...

If programming successful, a message similar to this will be displayed.
Repeat

After programming, the script will continue to run in a loop, adding +1 to the serial number and keeping all other values the same. Ex: 13374201, 13374202, 13374203, etc

Couldn't open device [1a86:5512]

Couldnt configure USB device with vendor ID: 1a86 product ID: 5512

A CH341 device in programming mode cannot be found.

Ensure that you are holding the Program button when plugging in the device, and try again.
