Re: Ezloader example with an EZ-USB FX2 chip

Hi Philippe ,

Hi Jonathan,

The mac example needs the PID and VID to match exactly. In the system profiler you should see the USB PID and VID before and after the device is booted.

I have used the same example code to boot our USB FX device and it is quite easy to get going after you have modified the #defines at the beginning to make sure the VID and PIDs are the same as your device both before and after booting.

The current sample code is probably slightly different than the one you had. There's no #define but some options to pass to the command line. In my case, the VID and PID of the downloaded device are not the Cypress default ones. For the moment, I use fake vid and pid.



I have not tried it with the FX2 though. Could the bootloader code need tweaking ?

I had to change the address of the "reset" register (CPUCS for the FX2). That's all. The firmware is actually downloaded and executed by the 8051 (I could check that with a little program that cycles the LEDs on the eval board).


Does the same firmware re-enumerate properly on Windows using the Cypress control panel ?

Since my last tests (really fresh, about 15 min or so), the device now re-enumerates with the fake VID and PID. It fails to be fully recognized because of - I suppose - inconsistency in the descriptors. USBProber shows an error "device did not respond to request for first 4 bytes". That's where I am at the moment. I'll have to study carefully the descritptors.....



Thanx

Hello all,
I'm really new to USB programming and these are my first experiments. I'm trying to download a firmware into an EZ-USB FX2 chip using the Ezloader sample code. This chip is actually hosted by a Cypress evaluation board. The downloaded firmware contains descriptors for a class compliant midi device (this is at least what I assume....). I already changed the k8051_USBCS constant (0x7f92) with k8051_CPUCS (0xE600) which is I believe the correct register to address to manage the reset state for the FX2 8051. The downloading and "assert reset" and "de-assert reset" requests seems to complete successfully, but the "new" device doesn't show up in USBProber (USBProber still shows the Cypress default device 0x4b4/0x8613) and NewDeviceAdded loop body is not executed after the downloading.
Any idea about the problem? Should the "new" device automatically shows up in USBProber? As it is a class compliant midi device, do I need to load a driver (as is done by Ezloader)?
Thanks for any tips or pointers.
Regards
Philippe
