User Manual
Don’t forget to save your project for fur-
ther use
Once you have got your
fpga.in
file, you
can proceed and generate your FWU file.
The FWU file is a ZIP file containing 3 files:
■
Bootload.ini
– booting settings
■
fpga.bin
– FPGA programming file
■
usb.bin
– FX2 firmware
To create your FWU file, you need to
■
replace
the
existing
USBFWUTool\FWUs\fpga.bin
with the
latest
fpga.bin
(
Bootload.ini
and
usb.bin
are always unchanged)
■
zip the 3 files
■
change the “
zip” file extension to “fwu”
■
upload the file as explained in the next
section (Micromodule Configuration).
Warning!
file and path names are given
and must NOT be changed!
