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. |
if the module exit from reset or is powered on, the IIC EEPROM content programes/configures the USB FX2 microcontroller RAM |

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:

If the TE USB FX2 module exit from reset state or is powered on (in the default state of switches), the SPI Flash content programes/configures 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:
Direct programming by USB controller (usually done by Firmware Upgrade Tools like Python OpenFut and C# OpenFutNet).
Indirect SPI programming via FPGA pins, controlled by JTAG (can be done using Xilinx iMPACT). See Appendix A. Indirect SPI Programming using iMPACT.
Direct SPI programming by FPGA, using an SPI core (FPGA project should contain SPI interface core and software to work with it: only if iMPACT GUI is version 11.x or below, see Xilinx AR#36156)).
SPI Flash can be programmed using the following connection:
