jboecker / fx2-usb-display Goto Github PK

I am interested in getting this going. Is there an appropriate forum to ask more more info?

I tried this today, here're the steps to make it work:

Plug in your FX2LP board. Windows will detect a new device.
Download Zadig, it should detect the Unknown Device.
(You might need to enable Options -> List all devices)

Edit the device name to CY7C68013 EZ-USB FX2 USB 2.0 Development Kit and install the driver:
(Not really required, but otherwise it'll keep the Unknown Device #1 name).

Run fx2-usb-display.exe. It will upload the firmware, and close shortly after.
This is normal because there's no driver installed for the new device yet.

A new device will show up, called There, repeat the WinUSB driver installation, you can leave the default name.

Open again fx2-usb-display.exe, it will start working.

To change the displayed area, call fx2-usb-display.exe with X_START and Y_START arguments:
To start capturing at X=800 and Y=360: fx2-usb-display.exe 800 360

Display size is hardcoded so it needs to be changed in the code, for example in display.go.
Find all the references with 320 (Width) and 240 (Height) and modify them accordingly.
I guess fx2-usb-display.exe executable was made using ´pyinstaller´, so it would need to be made again.

Hello. Will this work on Ubuntu?
