Firmware Update
After opening the GUI, the GUI will try to connect the EVM board. At the moment, the GUI will detect the
firmware version of the connected USB2ANY tool automatically. If the firmware version is not mapping
with the recommended version for the GUI, there is a prompt as shown in
to help user update
the firmware in the USB2ANY. Click the update button to begin the firmware update process. After
firmware update succeeds, click finish button to close the prompt window. Then the GUI will try to connect
the EVM board again with the defined device address. Once it connects successfully there will be 3
confirmation sync-up prompt windows, the connected LEDs type (Monochrome or REG), Fail-Safe state (0
or 1) and EEPROM programming Mode (Chip select or External address). For each confirmation window,
just click on the correct image mapping to the current EVM setup.
