GENERAL
=======

Usx2yloader is a helper program to load the 2nd Phase firmware binaries
onto the Tascam USX2Y USB soundcards.
It has proven to work so far for the US122, US224 and US428.
The snd-usb-usx2y module requires this program.


USX2Y initialisation outlined
=============================

A.  Phase 1
A.1.  USx2y is plugged to the PC and powered on.
      This makes the kernel see a new USB-device with the Vendor/Product
      ID 0x1604/0x8000 (US428), 0x1604/0x8004 (US224) or 0x1604/0x8006 
      (US122).
      The kernel reacts by starting the usb-hotplug script.
A.2.  The usb-hotplug script starts the executable fxload,
      which transfers the EZUSB firmware to the USx2y.
A.3.
