Well, for FX2 we're still missing the capability to flash a firmware, which is why regardless of how far we we get with FX3, I'm likely to keep the issue open until I get a change to sort that last part out. Last time I tried, I had trouble getting a stub binary that could do the flashing. If I recall correctly, the one provided by Cypress with their toolchain is not Open Source (or uses a license that we can't really subscribe to), and the non Cypress one didn't seem to work with our version of fxload, so I was planning to craft our own FLOSS version. >>> I use Cypress tools under Windows and cycfx2load under >>> Linux and Mac OS X for FX2/FX2LP. We're definitely not trying to replace the Cypress tools, but with the FX devices being popularly used as an USB testbed, it's be nice to demonstrate the libusbx capabilities by replicating some of the Cypress tools >> Just tested the libusbx fxload example under Mac OS X and >> it seems to work fine. > > Also tested under Windows 7 x86 and fxload example works > fine as well. Nice. Thanks. Still it'd be nicer if we could flash firmware, as it could open the door to having a comprehensive solution to flashing a firmware, for use with libusbx testing, without having to rely on anything but libusbx. This would make the development of additional libusbx tests (which we could most certainly use) more user friendly, and allow niceties such as automating a battery of tests, that may require different firmware/device features, on the fly...

There are still a few more warnings in core as well as with the samples, which I may try to address for the 1.0.15 release, so that we get a clean VS2012 output. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
