2.2 Starting the kitCON and programming the Flash
• Use of the FlashTools requires a kitCON-161CS/JC/JI and an IBM-
PC or a compatible system, as well as an unregulated power supply
for 8 V= - 12 V= /500 mA. Typically, all jumpers for configuring
the kitCON-161CS/JC/JI have been correctly set upon delivery of
the board.
•
Connect your Host-PC (COM1 or COM2) to the DB9-socket P1 on
the kitCON-161CS/JC/JI using a serial cable as shown below.
PC DB9-socket (COM1, 2) kitCON-161CS/JC/JI DB9-socket P1
RxD PIN 2 to TxD PIN 2
TxD PIN 3 to RxD PIN 3
GND PIN 5 to GND PIN 5
No Hardware-Handshake-Line is required to invoke communica-
tion between the kitCON-161 and the Host-PC, as the firmware
contains a transmission protocol to ensure fault-free data trans-
mission between the PC and the kitCON-161.
• Ensure that switch 1 of DIP switch S3 (right of the kitCON-
Connector) is turned ON.
•
Ensure also that jumper JP13 is closed in position 1+2 and 3+4.
• Attach a power supply to the power-connector X5. An unregulated
8 V= to 12 V=/500 mA power source can be used to supply the
board. Use only a fixed voltage power supply and no power supply
with variable voltage. Double check the correct polarity of the
socket as shown in Figure 3. If the power supply is attached cor-
rectly the red LED D4 will light up.
• Push switch S1 to perform a Reset and to start the Bootstrap Loader
on the kitCON-161CS/JC/JI.
•
Invoke the terminal program FLASHT.EXE on your Host-PC by
entering the following at the DOS prompt:
flasht [BR (Baudrate)] [COM port number]
Other communication or terminal programs are not suitable for data
transmission to and from the Monitor program on the kitCON-
161CS/JC/JI, as a special transmission protocol is required.
Ensure that only DOS is active at the time of the invocation.
