Quick Migration Procedure

When migrating from the second generation of the software stack for Trenz Electronic FPGA modules with USB interface (aka DEWESoft firmware and DEWESoft driver derivative) to the third generation (aka Trenz Electronic firmware and Cypress driver derivative), we recommend the following 3 steps:

  • Firmware and driver migration from Generation 2 to Generation 3
  • C++/C# Generation 3 SW API download
  • C++/C# Generation 3 SW Layer Examples download

Firmware and driver migration from Generation 2 to Generation 3

At first, you the user should check VID/PID of connected TE USB FX2 module and follow the steps advised in the table below.

(2) Only for Windows XP is strictly necessary. Fully uninstall (i.e. with "delete files" option activated on Windows Vista or later versions, in Windows XP the deletion must be done manually: see section 4) of old driver is advisable.

C++/C# Generation 3 SW API download

After the firmware and driver migration, the user should download latest C++/C# SW API

Note
The straightforward procedure to install both Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express on the same computer will fails: see here. In this page, 2 different procedures are described; we have successfully tested both procedures.

C++/C# Generation 3 SW Layer Examples download

It is possible to download some Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express projects already correctly configured (for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express 32/64 bit and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional 64 bit) from here:
