Those preloaded image is just for getting started demo, for real designs:

•     it is expected that these image could be replaced by the customer;
•     it is expected that these image could be used by the customer as starting point.

To change the firmware of EEPROM from generation Generation 2 to Generation 3 you must follow this procedure. You may also watch this video play list. [content replication, link to original]

Those preloaded firmware is used with TE API. .. . [content replication, link to original]

Custom FPGA design: programmable logic

We recommend to download and install the standard Xilinx development tool to develop and debug a custom programmable logic design. License fees may apply when designing with larger devices or debugging with advanced tools. Same conditions apply when modifying the programmable logic of the reference design.

Custom FPGA design: embedded processing system

We recommend to download and install the standard Xilinx development tool to develop and debug a custom embedded processing system. License fees may apply. Same conditions apply when modifying the embedded processing system of the reference design.

Custom USB design

???You can download the Firmwar code from GitHub and use this code as a start point.
If you doesn't realize a compatible firmware the TE API are no longer available.
