This information is important to make the clone tool look like the original one for the software tool (I mean the tool from Saleae).
Secondly and apparently, the EEPROM contains some information related to the device as a USB device (VID, PID. So the first interesting fact is that I basically bought only the PCB with no firmware inside. Firstly, you must know that CYC68013A MCU doesn’t have a Flash (non-volatile) memory, instead, the code is loaded into the internal RAM via USB or the EEPROM and while the EEPROM is 128 Byte, I was sure that the code is loaded from the USB. I always find it nice to understand some of the undergoing process behind the tool-chain of hardware and software.
