Arduino

It is also possible to use an Arduino Uno for the firmware update. In this case remove the AVR microcontroller from the socket on the Arduino and connect the board as follows.

Arduino Uno -> FTDI-Connector
-----------------------------
Reset       -> Pin 6 DTR/grn
0 (Rx)      -> Pin 4
1 (Tx)      -> Pin 5
5V          -> Pin 3
GND         -> Pin 1 GND/blk

Software

LPCSP

The firmware can be updated via the FTDI connector using LPCSP (alternative download).

  1. Connect a 5V USB-Serial-Converter with FTDI pinout to the 6-Pin FTDI connector on the PCB bottom side (blk=GND, grn=DTR).

  2. Hold down the ISP switch (next to the ARM controller on the MI0283QT Adapter and next to the reset switch on the GLCD-Shield) and run the programming software:

      lpcsp.exe -pX:115200 -c1 FIRMWARE.hex

      X -> COM port number (1 to 99) of the FTDI adapter

      FIRMWARE.hex -> name of the Hex-File

  3. Release the ISP switch after the programming (entering ISP mode) has started.

  4. Wait till the programming has finished.

Flash Magic

The firmware can be updated via the FTDI connector using Flash Magic.

  1. Connect a 5V USB-Serial-Converter with FTDI pinout to the 6-Pin FTDI connector on the PCB bottom side (blk=GND, grn=DTR).

  2. Start Flash Magic

  3. Step 1 - Communications

    Device:    LPC1114/301
    COM Port:  select your FTDI adapter
    Baud Rate: 115200
    Interface: None (ISP)
    
  4. Step 2 - Erase

    [x] Erase all
    
  5. Step 3 - Hex File

    Select Hex file
    
  6. Step 4 - Options

    [ ] Verify after programming
    [ ] Fill unsued Flash
    
  7. Step 5 - Start!

    Hold down the ISP switch (next to the ARM controller on the MI0283QT Adapter and next to the reset switch on the GLCD-Shield) and press the Start button.
    Release the ISP switch after the programming (entering ISP mode) has started.
    
  8. Wait till the programming has finished.
