This program is conveniently able to download firmware into FX, FX2,
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
and FX2LP EZ-USB devices, as well as the original AnchorChips EZ-USB.

It is intended to be invoked by hotplug scripts when the unprogrammed
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
device appears on the bus.

Primarily as an aid for developers, this can also be used to update
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
firmware on devices which boot from I2C serial EEPROMs. For that
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
use, as well as downloading firmware to all other off-chip memory,
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
a second stage loader must first be downloaded.

See the download page at http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net for the
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
latest release. The CVS repository there holds the most current version
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
of this software. The web site shows some ways to use "fxload" in
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
conjunction with USB hotplugging, to load device firmware.

Post any bug reports to the linux-hotplug-devel or linux-usb-devel lists.

If you modify the code, the GPL requires that you make your updates
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
generally available (under most circumstances). Providing them in the
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
form of patches against the current CVS ("cvs diff -u"), or the last
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
release ("diff -u old new") is most useful, since otherwise it's awkward
|
|
Packit |
7488c9 |
to integrate such changes into the standard distribution.
