(3) Firmware Recovery: it requires USB generic Cypress device driver, to boot with EEPROM disabled and to enable EEPROM after TE USB FX2 module is inserted into USB port. This is the procedure followed by Recovery Boot (TE USB FX2 Firmware Recovery) (CyConsole and CyControl) and Recovery Boot (OpenFutNet).

(4) You can use  Recovery ProcedureBoot to program the USB FX2 microcontroller's  EEPROM with the Generation 3 Firmware required by Firmware Update and FPGA Configuration.
