Trenz Electronic device drivers are derived from the original Cypress generic USB device drivers, distributed with the Cypress SuiteUSB 3.4 (or later).
Driver installation on Microsoft Window 7 and Microsoft Window 8 can be performed automatically (on-line). It can happen that the first online driver installation attempt fails; in this case the user shall just force a retry (the second attempt normally works!). See section 2.1.2.3.2 Force the online search of USB Drivers Installation - User Manual.
Coexistence of Generation 2 and Generation 3 device drivers
Installation of both device drivers on the same host computer is normally possible.
Installation of both device drivers on the same host is not recommended under Microsoft Widows XP.
Please read USB Drivers Installation - User Manual (UM-drivers-TE_USB_FX2.pdf) for further details.

(1) Driver installation on Microsoft Window 7 and Microsoft Window 8 can be performed automatically (on-line). It can happen that the first online driver installation attempt fails; in this case the user shall just force a retry (the second attempt normally works!). The driver installed is NOT the Cypress generic USB device drivers (distributed with the Cypress SuiteUSB 3.4). but one of this two signed Cypress driver (they can be downloaded from Microsoft Update Catalog):
- Cypress - Other hardware - Cypress USB Generic Driver (3.4.7.000) for BI15xx where xx is 00,11,12,14, 32
- Cypress - Bus Controllers and Ports - ND-tech USB Adapter (Cypress USB Generic Driver, version 3.4.1.20) (link)
| Note |

The second driver could be used but it is not recommended because two PIDs are possible. Same VID and two different PIDs are possible (written in the corresponding .inf file):

WinUSB driver and Zadig (Generation2, Generation 3, Cypress default and/or custom firmware)
WinUSB driver and Zadig 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 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 . Zadig is not yet officially supported under Windows. |
