There are various existing open source tools based on libftdi which
write the EEPROM which does the same thing as FT_PROG. Please note that
FT_PROG writes the configuation EEPROM of the FTDI chip, not the flash
chip storing the firmware of the CC3100/CC3200.

I think the FTDI D2XX library has a license incompatible with flashrom.


If you want to replace TI CCS UniFlash with flashrom, it would make
sense to check if any protocol documentation for the UART-based flashing
exists. In that case you won't need D2XX or libftdi.
