4.2. PROGRAMMING OF BOARDS WITH BOOTLOADER
4.2.1.
SOFTWARE “BOOTLOADERAPP”
The most recent boards are preloaded with BOOT firmware for the management of the BootLoader, i.e. the application
that allows the updating of the machine control firmware.
NOTE: To program a board that does not feature preloaded BOOT, please contact Alfa technical service.
To program a hard-wired board via BootLoaderAPP, it is necessary to follow this procedure:
1. Shut off the machine;
2. connect the special cable Alfa USB BOOT LOADER (code 305001893) across CN13 connector of the MAB board
and a USB port of the PC/LAPTOP on which the application BootloaderAPP.exe is installed;
3. run BootloaderAPP;
4. switch the machine on.
TO USE A MACHINE IN BOOT MODE, YOU MUST FIRST CONNECT THE USB CABLE FROM MAB TO PC /
LAPTOP AND THEN SWITCH MACHINE ON.
BootLoaderAPP installation procedure is described in the following paragraph. If the software is already installed on
the PC, go directly to the following paragraph explaining software use for programming boards.
