Does the TUSB9261 come preloaded with firmware, or does the user have to flash the chip before using it for the first time?
Also, I see in the EVM manual it states that the TI firmware takes into account the swapping of the SSTX and SSRX P and N pins to the SATA connector. Is this enabled by default in the firmware that is already on the chip (if there is firmware there) or do I have to download the firmware that is on the TI site and flash that to the chip to get that support?
