This is a step by step guide to upgrading the software in Flowire through the serial interface.

Requirements

Create the special USB-Serial cable

Flowire cable


  • On the Flowire, you must connect to these pins:
    • 7: GND
    • 8: UART1_TX – Connect this to Rx on the serial cable
    • 16: UART1_RX – Connect this to Tx on the serial cable

  • Connect the USB-Serial cable
  • Check the Windows "Device Manager" to see which serial port it chooses. It will be listed under “Ports (COM % LPT)” as USB Serial COM port #x, where x represents the COM port number. Double click it and change the port settings from 9600 baud to 115200 baud.

TFTP server setup

  • Start the Tftpd
  • From the main window browse to the folder where the software files are kept. Choose the PC LAN port as the server interface:

** setenv serverip 169.254.1.2

    • setenv ipaddr 169.254.1.10
    • protect off all
    • tftp 0x40100000 u-boot218.bin
    • erase 0x30000000 0x3002FFFF
    • cp.b 0x40100000 0x30000000 0x30000
    • tftp 0x40100000 jffs2-spc
    • erase 0x30040000 0x3013FFFF
