I am new to Cypress.  I am working with the CYUSB3014 on the Superspeed Explorer Kit.  I have also inherited a suite of software that eventually procuces a .hex file to be loaded onto the EEPROM of the board.  However, the USB control center only loads .img file to the EEPROM.  Does anyone know how do I convert the .hex file into a .img file or what other tools to use to load the .hex file directly to the I2C-EEPROM?  Thanks for your time.

You need to use FX3 SDK. After building using Eclipse of SDK, the .img will get generated. Please refer to "AN75705 - Getting Started with EZ-USB® FX3" Please refer 8.1.1  and follow the steps one by one.
