CyControl (Cypress USB Control Center) is a Cypress firmware tool. It can be downloaded from here.

The recovery-mode driver can be downloaded from here.

The regular-mode driver can be downloaded from here.

It cannot be used to download FPGA bitstream files.

It can be used to download a .iic file (EZ-USB FX2LP USB FX2 microcontroller firmware) as follows:

  • recovery boot (USB EEPROM and USB RAM programming): it does not require that any firmware is already loaded in the USB FX2 microcontroller;
  • update boot: upgrade a Generation 3 firmware version (USB EEPROM and USB RAM programming); it does require that a Generation 3 firmware is already loaded in the USB FX2 microcontroller.
