Cypress EZ-USB microcontroller

Hello Sir,
    I am currently trying to develop a firmware on FX2 microcontroller
from cypress, which is able to send continously data to a windows pc.
However I have no idea where to start my doings. Should I first begin
to program a windows application (do I need to write a driver?) or
should I start programming the FX2-firmware. What I need is some kind
of sample, that demonstrate the communication from FX2 -
microcontroller to a self-programmed (with source code) windows
application, so I could adapt it.

Is there anyone who knows where to get these information? Currently I
am using a demo windows driver from "jungo", but if I create a driver
and install it, the CYPRESS EZ-USB Control panel does not work any
more on this port (message "no cypress usb device detected...." after
having clicked on "open all). However I need the control panel to
download monitor program, being able to load and execute the firmware
(keil compiler).

You see I have many problems and no idea where to start. Maybe you
could help with some information ressources.
Please i need your suggestion... help me out......

Go to the Cypress web site, and look for the FX2 tutorials.

There's a bunch of them on there, they will help you get started.

G.

The website link included here has several firmware and software examples 
for the Cypress FX2 USB chip.   The developer lists all of his source code 
and schematics.   He does his development on linux.   But you should be able 
to easily port the linux gui software to Windows.  The firmware should not 
require any changes.   The developer has implemented an Osciliscaope using 
the USB chip.
