Warning

The firmware actually changes (it runs on USB FX2 microcontroller's RAM) only when

  • you reset the USB FX2 module;
  • you power off and power on the USB FX2 module;
  • you write the USB FX2 microcontroller's RAM (RAM for CyConsole and xxx for CyControl), the new firmware is lost if the USB FX2 module goes under reset or power off/on cycle).

Warning
If you don't also write the SPI Flash memory, the new bitstream image is lost if the USB FX2 module goes under reset or power off/on cycle.
