[CY7C65211] Equipment and method for evaluation and production

[ShYa_3490236]

Hi,

Please give me advises for the below queries.

1.

As description in datasheet, I understand that CY7C65211 can operate as SPI master but need to modify the configuration settings. Is my understanding correct?

2.

If #1 is yes, to modify the configurations, could you tell me appropriate technical information or any document? I could not find related specifications in datasheet.

3.

In my understanding, user will able to use the configuration utility S/W for the evaluation. But I think this tool is not appropriate for the manufacturing phase.

So, could you tell me suitable method or tool for programming the configuration data to device flash in manufacturing phase?

I'd like to understand that programming equipment, HW designs, whether Cypress can ship devices after programming (like CP parts) and so on.

If you need more information, please let me know.

Best regards,

Shohei

Hi Shohei-san,

1. You are correct.

You can configure CY7C65211 using USB-Serial Configuration Utility. Please check following page.

2. Hopefully, above page will be helpful for you.

3. I can understand your concern.

For mass-production, Cypress recommends that the customer uses "USB Serial Configuration Utility" command-line program for programming.

USB Serial Configuration Utility GUI is easy to program a firmware, but as you know it is not efficient.

For more information, see the thread as follows.

Regarding the CP parts, it depends on the end customer product amount.

Please ask local Sales/FAEs. We are not able to answer it on the Community.

Hi Takayama-san,

I really appreciate your helps always. My questions are clear and will contact to local Sales/FAEs via other way regarding CP parts.
