- Fixed version version number of FX3 default firmware
- FWLoader: Added switch -bm (batch mode) to suppress waiting for key press (no effect under Linux)
|
| 20231030 |
- FX2 and FX3 firmware: Framework to avoid concurrent accesses to Flash from FPGA and USB controller, see Wiki
- New Default Firmware: Version 1.6

Default Firmware version 1.5:
- for FX3:
- GPIF frequency reduced to 92.4 MHz because instabilities where detected with the old frequency of 104 MHz which was slightly out of specs. All boards delivered before 2022 are functionally tested with 104 MHz. Firmware update is recommended nevertheless.
- for FX2:
- No changes.
|
| 20210211 |
- Fixed template
constraints/usb-fpga-2.xdc: SPI configuration settings where to optimistic. Either use the 'BITSTREAM.CONFIG.SPI_FALL_EDGE Yes' or reduce the frequency: 'BITSTREAM.CONFIG.CONFIGRATE 33'
- Java API: Reset methods now automatically reset
debug2LogIdx and restore configuration and interface claims
