Info

A general introduction to USB bulk transaction and FX2 microcontroller firmware is available here.

TE USB FX2 modules are shipped with a preloaded FX2 USB microcontroller reference firmware (for a description see the previous link) inside the EEPROM. For a de

The preloaded firmware exposes Trenz Electronic Firmware API (TE API Commands (FW APIs)) to the host computer software (through USB).

To change the EEPROM content (reference firmware) from Generation 2 (VID/PID 0547/1002) to Generation 3 (VID/PID 0BD0/0300), you shall follow this procedure. You may also watch this video play list.

For an introduction to USB FX2 microcontroller's firmware configuration, recovery boot and update boot.
