Flashing fx2lafw to the EEPROM
It is possible to flash fx2lafw directly to the EEPROM on the board. Flashing a firmware to RAM and renumerating takes about two seconds. If fx2lafw boots from the EEPROM, this step is no longer necessary.
Prerequisites
- Linux environment
- fxload: your distribution may already package this. These instructions assume that you have fxload running.
- Second stage bootloader, Vend_Ax.hex
- sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw sources.
Building the firmware
To flash the firmware, you will need a hex file containing the firmware, fx2lafw-cypress-fx2.ihx. Since the hex file is a byproduct of the build, you will need to build the firmware from sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw sources.
1) Build and install fx2lafw. See fx2lafw#Build_fx2lafw for details.
Testing the firmware
2) Ensure you can access the USB device. One method is to run the following commands as root. A more elegant method is to use udev. See fx2lafw#Install_the_udev_rules_file for details.
3) Disconnect the EEPROM jumper. The chip will boot from its default bootloader.
4) Connect the board to the computer, and run a simple sigrok-cli test.
$ sigrok-cli --driver fx2lafw --output-format bits --loglevel 5 --samples 8
- If you see a "fx2lafw: Device came back after [some] ms." the firmware works, and you can proceed.
- If however, you get a "fx2lafw: Device failed to renumerate." error, STOP. The firmware will not work.
Flashing the firmware
5) Disconnect the board from the PC, and connect the EEPROM jumper. The board needs to boot from the EEPROM, otherwise fxload will not be able to write to the EEPROM.
6) Look at lsusb for the bus and device address.
$ lsusb [...] Bus 009 Device 078: ID 0925:3881 Lakeview Research [...]
In this case, the bus is 009 and device is 078. You will need this information later.
7) Copy the hex file to your working directory. You will find it in sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw/hw/cypress-fx2/fx2lafw-cypress-fx2.ihx.
8) Copy the second stage bootloader downloaded earlier, in the working directory. The file is named Vend_Ax.hex.
9) Invoke fxload:
fxload must be passed the USB device path via the -D parameter. This is usually:
/dev/bus/usb/[bus]/[device]
or
/proc/bus/usb/[bus]/[device]
- The -I parameter specifies the hex file to be flashed, in our case fx2lafw-cypress-fx2.ihx.
- -s specifies the second stage bootloader. This is the program that gets loaded into FX2's RAM and handles the EEPROM flashing process.
- -t specifies the chip type. It will either be fx2 or fx2lp. In this case, I was using the fx2 (not fx2lp).
Invoke fxload. In my case, I needed to invoke as such:
$ fxload -D /dev/bus/usb/009/078 -I fx2lafw-cypress-fx2.ihx -c 0x01 -s Vend_Ax.hex -t fx2
10) Done. Now you can disconnect the board from the computer. Leave the EEPROM jumper connected. The next time you connect the board, it will boot fx2lafw directly, and sigrok will not need to upload the firmware every time it runs.
