Hello All-
I am very new at USB programming, and have a very specific need in
that regard. I have a specialized scientific device that has a usb
interface developed using Windriver in a Windows environment. I am
trying to get it to function under OSX.
I now need to download the firmware hex file onto the cy7c68013a.
Therein lies the problem - I have the device working fine under
Windows XP on the Boot Camp partition of my laptop (using the
software provided by the vendor), but I see no hexfiles there - I
can only assume the hex file is incorporated into the interface
spit out by Windriver.
What is the recommended method of obtaining the firmware hex file
(if there is one in this situation) so I can proceed?
Hi Tom,
Firmware is firmware, so it doesn't matter what architecture
downloads it to the device, the same file should run the device
hardware.
Hopefully I am giving good advice here (since I don't think any Apple
persion is going to see or respond to this until tomorrow), but your
solution would involve
1) finding the firmware (a Google search shows a potential firmware
file at <http://www.siphec.com/project/USB2ATA/index.html>)
2) figuring out how to get the firmware file from your OS X
partition down to the device.
Is what you're trying to write an application (that will interact
with the device?) or a driver that will allow other applications to
use the device or some kind of plugin?
hth,
michael
