Explicit two-step recovery boot could be carried out with both Windows and Linux OSes, but in Windows is normally better to use .If the user need further information it is possible to read . |
In an explicit two-step recovery boot, the user should (the necessary device driver is assumed already installed):
A single command line recovery boot could be carried in Linux OS using fxload (with -c and -s "loader" option on the same command line, where loader is Vend_Ax.hex).

fxload is already included in some Linux distributions. Unfortunately, fxload of these distributions does not normally include a good second-stage boot loader for all vendor specific commands 0xAx and hence cannot directly be used to program EEPROM storage. However, such a bootloader is available separately if you dig around on the Cypress page; it is Vend_Ax.hex but it should be manually retrieved/downloaded. (Note: This "second stage bootloader" is sometimes called also "third stage"). In order to make life easier to users, this page provides a software package which contains the Cypress second stage bootloader called Vend_Ax.hex and the fxload source of 2008-10-13 (latest version at the time of writing). This version has also a patch which allows to "erase" the EEPROM again and which sets the default vendor and product IDs in the EEPROM when flashing. |
