Disconnect the USB cable from the netRAPID.
Push the
Reset
button (
T1
) on the netRAPID (see position in the
NRPEB 10-CCS and NRPEB 10-DPS Evaluation Boards
page 24).
The firmware is loaded by the Second Stage Bootloader. Running
firmware is indicated by a steady green
SYS
LED (see position ).
If you have downloaded a PROFIBUS DP slave firmware, the
V12
(COM 0) LED (see position ) is blinking acyclically red, indicating that
the PROFIBUS configuration is missing.

Downloading Firmware to the netRAPID via PCI and Host
Interface
4.2.4.1
Overview
This section describes how to download firmware via the PCI interface of
your configuration PC to the flash memory of the netRAPID via
Host
Interface
by using the
cifX Driver Setup Utility
and the
NXPCA-PCI
Adapter Board
. If you have already downloaded the combined SSBL and
LFW image, or if you have already downloaded the firmware via USB, you
don’t need to do this.
The instructions in this section apply to the following devices:
•
NRP 10-DPS (host interface needs to be implemented on host device)
•
NRP 10-CCS (host interface needs to be implemented on host device)
•
NRPEB 10-DPS
•
NRPEB 10-CCS
•
NRP 51-RE (host interface needs to be implemented on host device)
•
NRPEB 51-RE
•
NRP 52-RE (host interface needs to be implemented on host device)
•
NRPEB 52-RE
The download of the limited PROFIBUS DP Slave firmware to the NRP 10-
DPS is used as general example of how to download firmware to the
netRAPID. The procedure for other netRAPIDs and Evaluation Boards or
fully licensed firmware follows the same principle.
Note that the Second Stage Bootloader (SSBL) must have been
downloaded to the netRAPID before you can download or boot any
Standard Loadable Firmware (LFW) on the device.

User Manual NXPCA-PCI
