I successfully made an adapter cable that connects iCE40HX1K-EVB to a 'FT2232H MINI MODULE' that works with the "Diamond Programmer" utility.
  • UART RX and TX is not connected, since I do not use that in my test project (They should connect to BDBUS0 and BDBUS1)
  • "Scan SPI Flash Device" command for some unknown reason

I used the following documentations:

The naming scheme for MOSI and MISO in some documentation use SO and SI but mixing if it is in relation to master or slave.

The FT2232H module needs a jumper connecting VBUS (power from USB) to VCC (input for the voltage generators).

The FT2232H module needs to connect VIO to V3V3 in order to define the target voltage.

When connecting a flat ribbon cable to the FT2232H module, the connector is on the reverse side causing the pin order to be a bit messed up: 2, 1, 4, 3, 6, 5, 8, 7 and so on"
