IMHO, the best is to get the latest firmware licensed is the best thing to do. Does that "new" xc5000c come with a firmware pre-loaded already? I've got firmware here that is indicated as being for the xc5300 (i.e. 0x14b4). That said, I am not sure if it's the same as the original 5000c firmwa

Here is a link on a chinese site with datasheet for xc5100. http://wenku.baidu.com/view/7f92f3fe700abb68a982fb96.html If you look at it, after reading Product ID we also should receive 0x14b4 (5300 decimal) I'll try extract a FW from a Windows driver and will share results, in case of success. B

Correct. These are not parts that have any form of default firmware in their ROM mask (i.e. not like the silabs or micronas parts which have a default firmware and the ability to patch the ROM via a software loaded code update). The firmware must be loaded every time the chip is brought out of r

It's not "new" IC. It's XC5000C. Maybe i was interpreted wrong. As I have understood, such behaviour can depends from FW version. HW vendor says, that with his latest FW he always gets response 0x14b4. Ah, so you're running a completely different firmware image? Well in that case that would exp
