3 INI File Description
This section can be ignored for LAN78xx products and only applicable to USB hub
products.
3.1 HUB_VID_LIST section (Hub Vendor ID)
The application will populate list of hubs connected to the computer with
unique index numbers. By default, microchip hubs will be moved to lower index‟s
based on the Vendor ID (VID) during the initial process of application. To move
other hubs to lower index position when listing the hubs, Vendor ID needs to be
specified in HUB_VID_LIST section of INI file.
INI File Name: Protouch2.ini
Example:
[HUB_VID_LIST]
; Microchip VID
HUB_VID1=0x0424
; Other VID's Section
; Add as HUB_VID'n+1' = VID in "0x" format
; "HUB_VID2=0x8085"
; Maximum five VID's can be added here.
; So the maximum is HUB_VID5= 0xXXXX;
3.2 HUB_RESET_DELAY Section:
3.2.1 RESTART_DELAY
RESTART_DELAY is the time delay for the device enumeration once the device is
restarted. Device will be restarted in the application with RESTART_DELAY
timeout for specific commands. Application will wait for the device enumeration up
to value specified in the RESTART_DELAY variable.
Example:
RESTART_DELAY = 10000; In Milliseconds
3.3 HCE_DEV_INFO Section (Hub Controller Information)
HCE is nothing but the internal HFC device.The internal HFC device is
basically a winusb class USB device. By default, the tool will support with microchip
default Vendor ID and Product ID of the HFC device (Not the Vendor ID and Product
ID of HUB).
If the Vendor ID and Product ID (PID) of HFC Device need to be changed,
then add HFC Product ID to the HCE_DEV_INFO section in the INI file.

Protouch2 CLI User Manual
2016 Microchip Technology Inc
Page 8
To get the winusb handle from the HFC, PID needs to be added to the following
list. Vendor ID of the HFC will be taken from "HUB_VID_LIST" section (Refer
section 3.1).Following listed Product ID's are default one and if any of the HFC
device has different PID's except below listed values , those need to be added into the
list.
Example:
[HCE_DEV_INFO]
HCE_PID1 = 0x2530;
HCE_PID2 = 0x2740;
HCE_PID3 = 0x274E;
HCE_PID4 = 0x274F;
; VID of the HFC will be taken from "HUB_VID_LIST" section
Maximum entry is 10. (Max is HFC_PID10 = 0x1234 and HFC_PID11 = 0x1234 is
not valid one)

-/p <config_filename.cfg> is to program configuration file into OTP
memory.
-/id <index> is index of the hub to be programmed.
-/pser <serial_string> is the USB serial number in string descriptor.
For device specific filter approach,
>pt2main.exe /p<config_filename.cfg> [/id <index>] /pser <serial_string>
/iv
Note: For USB57X4 family, same serial number will be programmed for
USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 Gen1.
5. After programing, reset will be done automatically for the device.
9.4 Program OTP and Verify Programmed Configuration Item
1. Refer Appendix V to install HFC driver. One time installation is required per
system. This step can be skipped if the HFC driver is already installed.
2. Hub filter driver installation is required if the internal hub feature controller is
disabled by default in the hub. This step can be skipped either if the hub
feature controller is enabled by default or hub class filter driver is already
installed. Refer Section 15.2 for more details.

3. Find out the hub index by executing the command “pt2main.exe /l”. Refer
Section 13.1 for more details.
As an option, port chain method also can be used to program SPI flash
firmware. Execute the command “pt2main.exe /lp” to get port chain of the
hub. Refer Section 13.2 for more details.
4. Verification will be done once the OTP is programmed and reset is done for
the device. Sometimes the device enumeration may take time after reset due to
the time taken of driver loading for the device. The default timeout value is 15
seconds. After 15 seconds time out, if the device is not enumerated then the
tool will come out of the programming with the error code. The default
timeout time can be over ridden using the command /d.
Program OTP and Verify configuration items like Vendor ID, Product ID etc.
>pt2main.exe /p<config_filename.cfg> [/id <index>] [/cv <configuration
item names>] [/d <Delay_In_Milliseconds>]
-/p <config_filename.cfg> is to program configuration file into OTP
memory.
-/id <index> is index of the hub to be programmed.
-/cv <configuration item names>is the command to verify the
mentioned configuration items. Refer Section 9.6 for more details.

9.5 Batch Programming (Automated Execution)
This option is used for programming devices one after the other in batch mode. This
is used for mass programming.
9.5.1 Mass OTP Programming (Single device is connected)
1. Refer Appendix V to install HFC driver. One time installation is required per
system. This step can be skipped if the HFC driver is already installed.
2. Hub filter driver installation is required if the internal hub feature controller is
disabled by default in the hub. This step can be skipped either if the hub
feature controller is enabled by default or hub class filter driver is already
installed. Refer Section 15.2 for more details.
3. Find out the hub index by executing the command “pt2main.exe /l”. Refer
Section 13.1 for more details.
As an option, port chain method also can be used to program OTP. Execute
the command “pt2main.exe /lp” to get port chain of the hub. Refer Section
13.2 for more details.
4. Following method can be used to program OTP if either internal HFC is
enabled by default or hub filter is installed as class filter.
>pt2main.exe /bp<config_filename.cfg> [/id <index>]
-/bp <config_filename.cfg> is to program configuration file into OTP
memory in continuous mode.
-/id <index> is index of the hub to be programmed.
For device specific filter approach
>pt2main.exe /bp<config_filename.cfg> [/id <index>] /iv

5. Press “CTRL+C” keys to abort the programming.
6. After each OTP programing, coloured status will be displayed in command
line.
GREEN –OTP Program success
RED - OTP program failed
6. After each OTP programming, device reset will be done automatically.
9.5.2 Mass OTP Programming (Multiple devices are connected)
This method must be used if more than one microchip hub is connected in the
machine.
1. Refer Appendix V to install HFC driver. One time installation is required per
system. This step can be skipped if the HFC driver is already installed.
2. Hub filter driver installation is required if the internal hub feature controller is
disabled by default in the hub. This step can be skipped either if the hub
feature controller is enabled by default or hub class filter driver is already
installed. Refer Section 15.2 for more details.
3. The port chain method must be used in this case. Execute the command
“pt2main.exe /lp” to get port chain of the hub. Refer Section 13.2 for more
details.
4. Following method can be used to program OTP if either internal HFC is
enabled by default or hub filter is installed as class filter.
