This article describes how the flash image of a Turbine Compact station can be recovered.

Before starting the upgrade process it is important to identify if the bootloader is corrupted or not.

  • Corrupted bootloader
  • The bootloader is intact

Requirements

  • The application "Turbine Station Production Upgrade Application" installed on a Windows PC.
  • A serial connection from the PC to the Turbine Compact board, using a USB to Serial cable
Setup



The USB to Serial cable

The Turbine station has a TTL level serial interface which we need to connect to during the upgrade process. For this purpose a USB to Serial converter cable can be used. Recommended cable is TTL-232R-3V3 from Farnell.

This cable needs to be slightly modified as per photo below:

  • Pin 1 = Black (GND)
  • Pin 2 = Orange (Turbine RX)
  • Pin 3 = Yellow (Turbine TX)
