Hi all,

does anybody know a way how can I change the contents of USB-descriptors after compilation in the .img-binary?

Can I determine the location of the descriptors in the .img-file by some linker-commands or something like that?

Thanks!

Just got the Benicia DVK yesterday and have a big question about PMMC, the reason to use Benicia is because it has build-in eMMC 4.41 host controller, that means I can issue COMMAND to access eMMC instead of read/write only, but from datasheet, PMMC is activate when connecting to a application processor with eMMC host. But if I already had eMMC host on the host AP, why I still need an additional Benicia to access eMMC?? Is it possible: MMC_D0 - MMC_D7/ MMC_CLK / MMC_CMD connect to eMMC device and then use PMMC interface to access eMMC device?

Thank you!

Hi,

I would like to use the FX3 for my upcoming FPGA boards (www.ztex.de).

Unfortunately the informations I found on the Cypress homepage are totally insufficient.

Please, can you provide me with the following information:
* The Technical Reference Manual (at least a preliminary version)
* The SDK package

Regards Stefan

 Hi!

I use streamer to read data from USB bord(3014). if I select 256 packets per xfer the speed can arrive at 320MBps. however after I detect the data I found that I lost some data. but if I select 8 packets or smaller the speed can arrive at 260MBps. but I can receive all the data. 

So I want to ask that why I lost data with the larger number of packets per xfer.

many thanks!

 Hello,

I'm trying to use the GPIF for a simple application : interfacing a NAND flash. I designed some state machines :

- writting a command 

- writting an address

- writting data

- receiving data

I created 2 DMA channels (one for transmitting data, the other to receive) agtnd attached them (through socket 0 and 1) to my state machines.

To produce a NAND command, i switch between stat machine to send command, address and write or read data.

When i need to send data, i get a buffer (DMA channel get buffer), fill it and commit it and when i have to read data, i get a buffer and discard it after processing it.

I'm working with DMA buffer up to 8192 bytes (a nand page). All seems work except :

- during the read phases, sometime the FSM is stuck in the start state, waiting for a DMA_RDY_1 condition, like the previous discard didn't work. The getbuffer call returns me a buffer with a count to 0. My current workaround is to discard these '0 count' buffer and trying to get another one.

- the other MAJOR issue is the commit time : in transmission, getting a buffer (8192) + memcpy it + committing it takes 2,5 milli second !!!!! I have the same thing when i'm reading data. During command and address phase, comminting a 1 or 5 bytes buffer takes 60 micro second !

How to fix that ?

 Hello everybody

i am trying to use cyfxbulkstream for debugging. I followed FX3 programmers manual Chapter 12 on setting up the j-link debugger. Now when i try to build the project i get this errors

Do you have any idea what is wrong. I am missing something?

 I've downloaded FX3DVKSetup.exe and am having trouble installing it.  I've tried both as a regular user, and as Administrator, and every time it crashes when "Installing" FX3DKSetup.exe.

I'm running XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 in a VirtualBox VM.  I suspect running in a VM may be the problem, but I'd like someone to confirm.

I found the linux version, which I might actually prefer, except it simply contains 4 tarballs, and no installation instructions.

I also found FX3SDKv1_1_1.exe, which appeared to complete installation, but the only thing it seems to install is "Cypress Update Manager" which shows only an option to configure or uninstall "EZ-USB FX3 SDK 1.1.1".  Configure gives the following errors: "unable to get updates from update server. Please check for network connections / Contact Cypress Support" and "The installer is unable to download installation information.  Please check your proxy and internet connection and try again.  Details  Error The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. while downloading file 44_install_catalog_v3.xml from url link http://updates.cypress.com/updates/fx3sdk/1.0/rr_install_catalog_v3.xml"

(I know it's not my VM network settings, because I can browse Google, and that's a 404 error)

Someone please tell me how to install this thing?  I'm mostly interested in using the CYUSB3KIT-001 and the project in AN75779

http://www.cypress.com/?rID=57990

How to create the .img file to download the FX3 firmware through the USB interface (CyControl.exe) in RAM ?

Best Regards,
