Acquire Devices Software (Coming Soon)
Acquire Devices is currently developing software to evaluate and prototype the Pike FX2 board using OpenUSB. This software will give developers in Unix, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Windows capability to have a working solution quickly. This software is currently being developed and will be available soon. The Pike EZ-USB FX2 Testing Software is being designed to meet many different prototyping needs for a USB developer, and please don't hesitate to contact support@acquiredevices, for any specific needs you may have.
Development
All EZ-USB FX2 Transceiver documentation and reference material is found in Cypress' EZ-USB FX2 Technical Reference Manual. Cypress also offers the CY3684 EZ-USB FX2 Development Kit which provides complete hardware and software solutions for accelerating the firmware and device driver development for the EZ-USB FX2. This development kit includes an evaluation version of the 8051 Keil Software Tools in the USB 2.0 development kit. The evaluation version of the C Compiler lets the designer write 8051 microcontroller applications in C and still get the efficiency and speed of assembly language. The development kit is an excellent way to get started developing applications quickly, especially if the EZ-USB FX2 is configured in GPIF mode. Many individual contributors also offer firmware for the EZ-USB FX2 which can easily be found by searching the internet.
Compilers and Assemblers
The Keil PK51 is a complete software development environment for classic and extended 8051 microcontrollers, and is perfect for stringent development for any EZ-USB FX2 application.
An open source project under the GPL called the SDCC (Small Device C Compiler) is perfect for many USB projects, and the SDCC is ported to most popular Operating Systems. Because at the heart of EZ-USB FX2 is an 8051 microcontroller, any compatible 8051 compiler will suffice to develop applications for the Pike.
For those who prefer assembly language W.W. Heinz has written a powerful assembler perfect for EZ-USB FX2 firmware development called ASEM-51.
Software Projects
A wide array of different projects exist for EZ-USB FX2 development. Human Interface software is provided by Jan Axleson from Lake View Research. An open source HID project is also available. In order to download the firmware to the EZ-USB FX2 in Linux the ever popular fx2_programmer written by Vladimir Dergachev can be used. Other types of projects are documented across the WWW.
