You are using the ft232 chip for communicating between the discover 2 and the host (Windows 10). The problem is that you have not changed the product Id of the chip. This is problematic because we work with other boards which have now the same product and vendor id.
Now we can not install the right windows driver for our other board because the two boards has the same product/vendor id. If I add my second device and want to change the driver, the driver of the discovery 2 board is also changed and this is ugly.
I dont know if you know that FTDI offers a service for customer to register without fees a product id. This is the way you must go if you didn't want to register your own vendor id.
What can we do now to fix the problem?
I have seen that you said to an other customer to write the eeprom with FT_Prog. The idea is to change the product id of the discovery and assign the ftdi driver to this product id with your discovery 2. I ask because I only want to do it if you said that this should not be a problem.
