Cypress CY7C68013 in EPP mode code example


If read datasheet for Cypress Semiconductor IC CY7C68013(14, 15, 16)A, it's known that ICs can act as extended parallel port (EPP). Cypress Semiconductor provides a managed library CyUSB.dll for control this chips. I've searched many sources, including official forum, but did not found examples of code with EPP mode, that I need. Can anyone give some help?


Solution

  • I assume you are using a generic development board or custom hardware you have built. Likely, library CyUSB.dll won't be enough, you need to have correct firmware developed/uploaded to CY7C68013.

    If you are purchased a CY7C68013 based usb to parallel converter, you should anyway see it as parallel port in Windows.

    For a parallel interface app. note and general guidance, following may help: https://community.cypress.com/thread/10786?start=0&tstart=0

    And following is an example for building USB to parallel port device using CY7C68013: https://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~heha/basteln/PC/USB2LPT/ul-17.en.htm

    Finally you may ask your question to Cypress forums, providing your application/hardware details.

    Hope this helps..
