For new users (Generation 3 Firmware), the OpenFutNet tool is recommended.

If the user has a Python 2.7 interpreter installed on Windows OS, he/she could also use the couple Open_FUT (gen 3) + CyControl:

• Open_FUT for generation 3 (Firmware Update and FPGA Configuration using a simplified TE_USB_FX2_CyAPI.dll)
• Cypress USB Control Center (Recovery Boot (TE USB FX2 Firmware Recovery) uses CyUSB.dll)

See the Firmware/Bitstream Tools Comparison table.
