USB FX2 microcontroller Configuration (RAM Firmware)
You can use CyConsole ("Options" > "EZ-USB Interface" > "Download" and a .hex or .bix file) or CyControl ("Program FX2 > RAM" and a .hex or .iic file) to directly program the firmware file (.hex, .bix or .iic file) into the USB FX2 microcontroller's RAM.
...
| Note |
|---|
| If you don't also write the IIC EEPROM ("Options" > "EZ-USB Interface" > "Lg EEPROM" for CyConsole and "Program>FX2 64KB EEPROM" for CyControl), the new firmware is lost if the TE USB FX2 module goes under reset or power off/on cycle. |
IIC EEPROM Configuration (EEPROM Firmware)
| Tip |
|---|
If the TE USB FX2 module exit from reset or is powered on, the IIC EEPROM content programs/configures the USB FX2 microcontroller RAM |
...
| Note |
|---|
The firmware actually changes (it runs on USB FX2 microcontroller's RAM) only when - you reset the TE USB FX2 module;
- you power off and power on the TE USB FX2 module;
- you write the USB FX2 microcontroller's RAM (but the new firmware is lost if the TE USB FX2 module goes under reset or power off/on cycle).

FPGA Configuration (bitstream, RAM-like image)
| Note |
|---|
| If you don't also write the SPI Flash memory, the new bitstream image is lost if the TE USB FX2 module goes under reset or power off/on cycle. |

SPI Flash Configuration (bitstream, PROM image)
| Tip |
|---|
| If the TE USB FX2 module exit from reset state or is powered on (in the default state of switches), the SPI Flash content programs/configures the FPGA. |
