* Package name : fx2pipe Version : 0.6 Upstream Author : Wolfgang Wieser <wwie...@gmx.de> * URL : http://www.triplespark.net/elec/periph/USB-FX2/software/fx2pipe.html * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: C Description : Pipe data in or out of an Cypress FX2 device FX2Pipe is a user-space utility which can be used to pipe data in or out of an Cypress FX2 device (CY7C6801xA). . It has a build-in firmware for the 8051 controller integrated in the FX2 chip. Upon startup, FX2Pipe will download that firmware onto the controller and also pass additional information (like the direction of the transfer, the FIFO width, etc.), then take the FX2 out of reset and begin the transfer. . The transfer works by submitting a number of URBs (normally 16) which are then enqueued and processed by the kernel as soon as possible. Once an URB is processed, it is returned back to the program which will in turn submit another URB hence having always a couple of URBs enqueued in the kernel.
