cess to UART (TXA & RXA), BOOT1 and BOOT2 input signals and 
VDD On/Off control. 

Note that during the flash update process the serial data speed is 
changed and thus the serial line connection should be a direct line to 
the host without any transferring utilities that may cause failure during 
speed change.

3.5  Procedure for re-programming the flash firmware 

1.  Connect UART (RXA and TXA signals) to PC via RS232 converter.  

2.  Set the module to UART boot mode: Power up the module to Flash 

programming mode according to Table 4. when using Fastrax 
Evaluation kit power up the kit and toggle Prog/Reset switch to 
Prog position. 

3. Start SiRFFlash application on PC. 

4.  Browse for the flash *.s file. 

5. Check the Communication setting from the SiRFFlash to meet 

your PC serial port. 

6.  Press Execute at SiRFFlash. Now the flashing starts. 

7.  After flashing has finished, recover normal operation by toggling 

power VDD off-on and setting boot mode to Flash mode according 
to Table 4.
