Downloading firmware to the NRPEB 51-RE via SPM USB
interface
4.2.5.1
Overview
The
NRPEB 51-RE
Evaluation Board allows you to easily access its serial
dual-port memory over USB interface (SPM-to-USB via FTDI chip).
This section describes how to download a Standard Loadable Firmware file
from your configuration PC (which in this case serves as “host”) to the
NRPEB 51-RE via SPM-to-USB connection.
The instructions in this section apply solely to the NRPEB 51-RE, because
only this board is equipped with the necessary FTDI-based SPM-to-USB
interface (see position in the
page 26).
