OPS241 Code Update

 

 

From  time  to  time,  OmniPreSense  provides  code  updates with  new  features  and/or  fixes  for  its  radar 
sensors.    The  embedded  code  in  the  OPS241  short  range  radar  sensor  can  be  easily  updated  to  take 
advantage  of  these  enhancements.    This  application  note  describes  how  to  update  the  code  on  the 
OPS241 radar sensors. 

 

Update Tools 

To update the code on the OPS241 radar sensor the user will need a JTAG programmer and a PC based 
code flashing tool.  An example of a low cost JTAG programmer is the 

miniWiggler

 (Figure 1) available 

from Infineon.  Other models are available from 

Seggar

.
