The SDR requires both firmware for the embedded 8051 and a control
program for the PC. I have been using the firmware that Analog Devices
includes in their AD9958/59 demo board. The zip file includes both the
source code(set up for Keil) and the compiled file(AD9959_FW.hex). The
hex file can be loaded into the 8051 by using the Cypress Console
download command. After the chip is programmed, it will re-enumerte.
At this point, windows will find a new device and ask for the location
of the driver. The setup program for the Analog Devices Development
board should be started. This should install the driver for the USB
board/Analog firmware combination.
Once the Cypress Cy7C68013A is programmed, the Analog Devices windows
program can be used to control the the AD9958/59.
I modified the Analog Devices firmware slightly and then wrote a
windows program in Visual Studio C++ 2005 Express to test the USB
interface. I also modified the .ini to use the Cypress driver.
