The ISEB is detected automatically in the
Device Manager
as
the
ADI Inertial Sensor Evaluation System
under the
Ports
(COM & LPT)
selection. Open the
Device Manager
to verify
hardware detection and to record the communication port
associated with the ISEB for use in the GUI.
COM Port Verification
Installing the latest firmware revision, as well as operating the
ADXRS290
evaluation GUI, requires that you know the
communications port that is assigned to the ISEB. With the
ISEB connected to the PC, perform the following steps to
determine the assigned COM port number:
1.
From the
Start
menu, right click
My Computer
and select
Properties
.
2.
Click the
Hardware
tab of the
System Properties
window,
as shown in Figure 5.

Installing the Latest ISEB Firmware
The latest ISEB firmware is found at
ftp://ftp.analog.com/pub/iMEMS_Sensor_Eval/
. To use the
ISEB evaluation hardware, flash the firmware onto the ISEB
microcontroller. The
FTP
site contains the firmware itself and the
utility that allows you to flash a new version of the firmware onto
the ISEB microcontroller.
To flash the firmware onto the ISEB microcontroller, follow
these steps:
1.
Ensure that the ISEB is disconnected from the satellite
board and connected to and detected by the PC. The COM
port on which the device is recognized must also be
obtained, as mentioned in the COM Port Verification section.
2.
Run the
ARMWSD.exe
program (it can be downloaded
from any
EVAL-ADXL3xxZ-M.zip,
EVAL-ADXL3xxZ-
MLP.zip,
or
EVAL-ADXRS290Z-M.zip
files at
ftp://ftp.analog.com/pub/iMEMS_Sensor_Eval/
). The
ARMWSD
dialog box displays information about the
downloader, as shown in Figure 7.
