Description Niall Daley 2010-01-03 19:59:39 UTC

Hi,
	CycFX2Prog is a tool for uploading firmware to the Cyprus FX2 series of microprocessors and communicating with the usb endpoints. It's pretty handy for experimenting with the various evaluation boards that use this microprocessor. The author's site says:

CycFX2Prog is a small and useful tool to program the FX2  (i.e. to download '8051 firmware into the RAM) and do basic enpoint communication for testing purposes.

I've just created a very simple ebuild that compiles and installs the binary. It sets is suid root, and restricts access to the newly created cycfx2prog group. Root access is needed to talk to the device.

I've got it in my overlay at dev-embedded/cycfx2prog. This is my first attempt at a new ebuild, so any feedback would be great.

		Niall
