Device
Functionality
After
the PCB is fabricated and assembled based on the files
mentioned earlier
, the
n
ext step
is
to check the functionality
of the
d
esign.
The
d
esign has mul
tiple firmware download options
. These include:

USB Download
(Manual)

USB Download
(Automatic)

EEPROM Download
(C0 Load, C2 Load)
For EEPROM Download
,
the .iic file should be programmed to the EEPROM.

. This
is explained
in the following sect
ions.
C
ontact
your
local Cypress
S
ales
office
for any support related to
the demonstration
or
for
queries
on
designing the PCB.
2.3
Device Connection
Connect the antenna to the TV dongle and plug it into the USB port
.
Place the antenna near
a
window
. This he
lps you
get a better signal reception
.
