Boot firmware from eeprom and later download .img file

[LiMa_282146]

Hi,

   

Is it possible to load the FX3 firmware from an eeprom and then download a fresh firmware configuration using the .img format. I would like to configure the FX3 with a base configuration which is stored in an eeprom and on power up this firmware is loaded into the FX3. Then whenever the user runs up my custom software the latest configuration is downloaded into the Fx3  using .img. This was easy to do with the FX2 so it would be good if the FX3 also supported this feature.

Hi sodafarl

       

In the FX3 SDK there is a firmware example "boot_fw" that allows you download a new FW over USB. You should be able to call this code in your FX3 application and load a new FW. I was using this code to load a new .img over SPI and it was working fine.
