The main Makefile for the project is in the app directory (e.g.

app_usb_aud_l1

This file specifies build options and used modules. The Makefile uses the common

build infrastructure in

module_xmos_common

. This system includes the source files

from the relevant modules and is documented within

module_xmos_common

5.1.2

Installing the application onto flash

To upgrade the firmware you must, firstly:

1. Plug the USB Audio board into your computer.

2. Connect the xTAG-2 to the USB Audio board and plug the xTAG-2 into your PC

or Mac.

To upgrade the flash from xTIMEcomposer Studio, follow these steps:

1. Start xTIMEcomposer Studio and open a workspace.

2. Choose

File

Import

C/XC

C/XC Executable

3. Click

Browse

and select the new firmware (XE) file.

4. Click

and

Finish

5. A Debug Configurations window is displayed. Click

6. Choose

Run

Flash Configurations

7. Double-click

xCORE application

to create a new Flash configuration.

8. Browse for the XE file in the

Project

and

C/XC Application

boxes.

9. Ensure the

xTAG-2

device appears in the target list.

10. Click

Flash

From the command line:

1. Open the XMOS command line tools (Desktop Tools Prompt) and execute the

following command:
