Linux versions of GX3 EEPROM configuration tools

[GrBu_2012976]

Are Linux versions of any of the GX3 EEPROM configuration tools (Cypress GX3 EEPROM Configuration Utility, GX3 Production Test Tool, GX3 Test Driver) available?

I don't see a Linux EEPROM Configuration tool or the Test driver that is needed when running the Configuration tool, in the link you reference.

Hi,

As you could see that we don't have the configuration tool for Linux.

Thank you for confirming this.  Taking a cursory look at the Linux source code, it appears that there are calls that support EEPROM writes and reads.  Can you confirm that this driver can be used to write custom EEPROM configuration routines?

Of course yes.

I happen to find one demo for Linux test tool. Attach it for your reference. You could add the routines which you want.
