 In the linux SDK, you can find fx2_download.cpp file in the path: cyusb_linux_1.0.4\gui_src

   

There functions for RAM load and EEPROM load for FX2LP.

 Hi rohan,
.bix is an old format. We've been using .hex for quite some time now.
why would you still want to use .bix? please let us know.

 I believe you can just rename .bix to .hex

   

The data will remain same. You can confirm that by comparing the files.

 .bix is binary data i.e. the data at a particular offset is the data to be written to the RAM.
.hex is the intel hex file format representation of the same (has : , address , checksum overhead). .hex specific utility isn't supposed to work for .bix. Please check your firmware download sequence and let me know what happens.
