SPIRIT1 DK - GUI description

3.4.2

Firmware upgrade

The SPIRIT1 DK is shipped with a firmware which allows performing automatic firmware

upgrade via the USB port. The default firmware is composed of two applications:



DFU boot loader which allows to perform firmware upgrade



Application firmware that runs the application selected by the user

In order to perform firmware upgrade the user should:

Activate the DFU software manually, by pressing and releasing "RESET" button while

holding down the "Push_button" (the button is the SCM_PS for the STEVAL-IKR001Vx

and for the STEVAL-IDS001Vx board the procedure is unplug the USB RF dongle,

press and hold the button SW1 and then plug the USB RF dongle and release the SW

button). The board LED DL2 (LED D2 in the STEVAL-IDS001Vx boards) will start

flashing to confirm that DFU boot loader is running.

Launch the SPIRIT1 DK GUI and from Tools->Firmware Upgrade select the firmware

image to load

After clicking OK the firmware will be programmed into the board.

The firmware images are in Intel hex format and are stored in the folder <Installation

Path>\Firmware\Binary.

The firmware images present in the folder are described in Table 4.

3.4.3

Save and load configurations

The Save option allows to save the current radio configuration and packet configuration in a

file, in order to make easy to restore it at later time.

The Load option allows loading the stored radio and packet configurations from a file.

A set of predefined radio configuration are provided in the default folder <Installation

Path>\Spirit_GUI_Configuration.
