<div>Reviewing the information in the EZ-USB FX3/FX3S boot options posted by Franco:</div>

</div>
<div>Section 6.1 indicates the device only supports USB 2.0.</div>

</div>
<div>Also the USB descriptor may change depending on the boot option selected with the three jumper pads and masked firmware progression in the device. </div>

<div><font face="SourceSansPro"><span style="font-size:14.6667px">Note there are three logical states on the boot option select pads, 0, 1, and Z. This is a trick used to provide more options on a small number of programming
pins. The implementation of the Z obtain in the IC is important and may have an issue in the device. There are 9 possible states and they have listed 5 of the states. The others probably put the dice in test modes or un-documented operational modes.</span></font></div>

Tom – Actually, my advice on this (from yesterday) very likely is obsolete; KA9Q has made major changes to the system, so I don’t know if the earlier guidance on how to build the system still works. Potentially, Franco’s info is better at this time… -73-
