How to Load Recommended SROM Data File
For some special GX3 applications, Cypress will provide you a recommended SROM data file
(SROM.DAT) to fulfill the requirements of your GX3 applications. In this case, please contact
Cypress Technical Support (
www.cypress.com/support
) to get the recommended SROM.DAT
file and then follow below procedures to program the recommended SROM data into the
EEPROM on your GX3 applications.
1.
Uninstall the standard GX3 Windows driver first if it had been installed before.
2.
Install the GX3 Windows test driver and ensure it is indeed a Windows Test Driver shown
in Windows Device Manager; ex., “
Cypress GX3 SuperSpeed to Gigabit Ethernet
Adapter (Test Driver)
”.
3.
Delete the previous EEPROM.DAT and SROM.DAT files located in the same folder before
running the tool.
4.
Run the GX3_EEPROM_Programming.exe Windows tool.
5.
Select “GX3 with EEPROM” from the “Device Sel.” drop-down menu.
6.
Copy the recommended SROM data file (SROM.DAT) into the folder that the
GX3_SROM.exe tool was located and overwrite the original SROM.DAT file.
