USB FX2 microcontroller Configuration (RAM Firmware)

You can use CyConsole and CyControl to directly program the .iic Firmware file into the USB FX2 microcontroller's RAM.

Add 2 images.

If you don't also write the IIC EEPROM (Lg EEPROM for CyConsole and xxx for CyControl), the new firmware is lost if the TE USB FX2 module goes under reset or power off/on cycle.

IIC EEPROM Configuration (EEPROM Firmware)

if the module exit from reset or is powered on, the IIC EEPROM content program/configure the USB FX2 microcontroller RAM

 

 

You can use CyConsole and CyControl to directly program the .iic Firmware file into the IIC EEPROM connected to USB FX2 microcontroller.

Add 2 images.

The firmware actually changes (it runs on USB FX2 microcontroller's RAM) only when

  • you reset the TE USB FX2 module;
  • you power off and power on the TE USB FX2 module;
  • you write the USB FX2 microcontroller's RAM (RAM for CyConsole and xxx for CyControl), the new firmware is lost if the TE USB FX2 module goes under reset or power off/on cycle).

FPGA Configuration (bitstream, RAM-like image)

If you don't also write the SPI Flash memory, the new bitstream image is lost if the TE USB FX2 module goes under reset or power off/on cycle.

The Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGA on the TE0300, Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP FPGA on the TE0320, Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA on the TE0630 can be configured in the following ways:

SPI Flash Configuration (bitstream, PROM image)

If the TE USB FX2 module exit from reset state or is powered on (in the default state of switches), the SPI Flash content program/configure the FPGA.

 

 

The bit-stream for the FPGA is stored in the SPI Flash. To use this bit-stream source FPGA configuration option is set to “Master Serial/SPI”. See 2.8 SPI Flash for additional information.

SPI Flash can be programmed in several ways:

SPI Flash can be programmed using the following connection:
