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
- A terminal emulator program, PuTTY is recommended
Preparation of the USB to Serial converter 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)
Insert the USB connector in the PC. The unit will now install itself. Make a note of which COM port it becomes. You will also find the device in the Device Manager.
Upgrade process
- Connect the USB to Serial cable to the PC and to the Turbine board
- Start the "Turbine Station Production Upgrade Application" on the PC
- Start "PuTTY", and set dataspeed = 115200 and COM port
