WinUSB driver and Zadig (Generation2, Generation 3, Cypress default and/or custom firmware)

WinUSB driver and Zadig should be used only are advised if libusb or libusbx are the libraries used (instead of Cypress libraries (CyAPI.lib and CyUSB.dll) and the derived Trenz Electronic libraries (TE_USB_FX2_CyAPI.dll and TE_USB_FX2_CyUSB.dll)) by the user under Windows OS.

Generation 2, Generation 3 and Cypress drivers do not work with libusb or libusbx.

See WinUSB driver installation (libusb and libusbx). See also Zadig. 

Note
If libusb or libusbx are used (with WinUSB driver and/or Zadig), the software tools Cypress USB Console, Cypress USB Control Center , Python Open_FUT (Gen2), Python Open_FUT (Gen 3) and C# OpenFutNet could not be directly used. The code of these tools should be rewritten using libusb or libusbx instead of Cypress libraries (CyAPI.lib and CyUSB.dll) and the derived Trenz Electronic libraries (TE_USB_FX2_CyAPI.dll and TE_USB_FX2_CyUSB.dll). See Linux_FUT as a starting point for a new software tool using libusb or libusbx under Windows OS.
Info

These libraries are not yet officially supported under Windows, but they are already used with TE USB FX2 modules under Linux (see the comunity contribution Linux_FUT).

Zadig is not yet officially supported under Windows.
