Most users don't need this driver, this driver is used only for initial USB FX2 microcontroller programming, which was already done for all supplied TE modules.
If the USB microcontroller (Cypress EZ-ESB FX2) driver is not installed on the host computer, then the easiest way to do it, is the following:
- disconnect the module if it connected or leave the module unconnected;
- turn off the TE USB FX2 module;
- set “EEPROM” switch to EEPROM connection disabled (EEPROM disconnected from USB microcontroller) (1);
- turn on the TE USB FX2 module;
- connect the module to the host computer through the USB interface;
- wait until the operating system detects new hardware and starts the hardware assistant;
- set “EEPROM” switch to enable EEPROM connection (EEPROM connected to USB FX2 microcontroller) (1);
- answer the hardware assistant questions as shown in the following images (images to add)
- Check that, in the “Device Manager” under “USB-Controller”, the “Cypress Generic USB Device” has been added.
After that, the EEPROM should be programmed with the right firmware; see firmware boot recovery.
(1) Refer to your module manual for switch location.
