FTDI Connection

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).

Connect a 5V USB-Serial-Converter with FTDI pinout to the 6-Pin FTDI connector on the PCB bottom side (blk=GND, grn=DTR).
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
Release the ISP switch after the programming (entering ISP mode) has started.
Wait till the programming has finished.

Flash Magic

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

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

Step 1 - Communications

Device:    LPC1114/301
COM Port:  select your FTDI adapter
Baud Rate: 115200
Interface: None (ISP)

Step 2 - Erase
```
[x] Erase all
```
Step 3 - Hex File
```
Select Hex file
```

Step 4 - Options

[ ] Verify after programming
[ ] Fill unsued Flash

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.

Wait till the programming has finished.
