If the user needs to use TE API Commands and TE API libraries, he/she needs this driver because this driver is used with USB FX2 microcontroller firmware (Generation 3) (which was already flashed to the supplied TE modules from 2nd September 2013) .
If the USB FX2 microcontroller firmware (Generation 3) is not already written in the EEPROM, you should follow the OpenFut recovery boot or the Cypress recovery boot.
If the USB microcontroller (Cypress EZ-ESB FX2) TE USB 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 enabled (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;
- answer the hardware assistant questions as shown in the following document and in this video play lists;
- Check that, in the “Device Manager” under “Trenz Electronic USB devices”, the “Trenz Electronic USB FX2” has been added.
(1) Refer to your module manual for switch location.
