Firmware update comparison table.

⁽¹⁾ The TE USB FX2 module (in recovery boot) is served by the Cypress USB Generic Driver; this driver allows Cypress firmware update tools (Cypress Console, Cypress Control Center) and OpenFutNet to work with the Cypress EZ-USB FX2 microcontroller on the module.

⁽²⁾ The EEPROM switch connect (enable)/disconnect (disable) the connection between 

⁽³⁾ EEPROM connection disabled when TE USB FX2 module turned on, then EEPROM connection enabled when TE USB FX2 module is inserted in the USB port of the computer (aka plugged in, aka attached)

⁽⁴⁾ EEPROM connection enabled when TE USB FX2 module turned on, then EEPROM connection enabled when TE USB FX2 module is inserted in the USB port of the computer (aka plugged in, aka attached)

EEPROM connection shall always be enabled during EEPROM programming.
