TE_USB_FX2_CyAPI (C++) APIs and TE_USB_FX2_CyUSB (.NET) API do not have the same signature although they are very similar. The signature of the pure extern C code library version of TE_USB_FX2_CyAPI APIs available for developers (codename: simplified TE_USB_FX2_CyAPI APIs) is slightly different from the two signatures above.
TE_USB_FX2_CyUSB (.NET) API is intrinsically cleaner than TE_USB_FX2_CyAPI (C++) APIs because CyUSB.dll is intrinsically cleaner than CyAPI.lib.
Please note that CCyUSBDevice Cypress class in the Cypress CyAPI C++ API is actually the list of all USB devices currently served by a Cypress USB driver derivative (e.g. Cypress generic USB device or Trenz Electronic USB FX2 device). For ease of understanding and convenience, Trenz Electronic named the corresponding variable as USBdevList.
