C. Firmware Re-programming
The following components of the JN517x-DK005 Development Kit can be
programmed with application binaries as described in this section:
JN5179 modules - see
JN5179 USB dongles - see
The dongles and the modules that are pre-fitted to Carrier Boards are already
programmed with applications but can be re-programmed.
Flash Programmers
The firmware re-programming described in the sub-sections below require the use of
one of the following Flash programmers:
JN517x Flash Programmer built into LPCXpresso and described in the
JN517x
LPCXpresso Installation and User Guide (JN-UG-3109)
JN51xx Production Flash Programmer (JN-SW-4107) described in the
JN51xx
Production Flash Programmer User Guide (JN-UG-3099)
C.1 Re-programming JN5179 Modules
In order to re-program the Flash memory of the supplied JN5179 modules, you must
connect the Carrier Board (on which the module is located) to your PC (see below).
To perform the re-programming from your PC, you must use a JN51xx Flash
Programmer utility (see
above).
When re-programming the JN5179 modules on the Carrier Boards in this kit, you must
use one of the supplied ‘USB A to Mini B’ cables to connect a USB port of your PC to
the USB Mini B port of the Carrier Board. When you make this connection for the first
time, you may be prompted to install the device driver for the FTDI chip which is
located on the Carrier Board - if this is the case, refer to
C.2 Re-programming JN5179 USB Dongles
In order to re-program the Flash memory of the supplied JN5179 USB Dongles, you
must plug the dongle into a USB port of a PC. To perform the re-programming from
your PC, you must use a JN51xx Flash Programmer utility (see
above).
When you make the USB connection for the first time, you may be prompted to install
the device driver for the FTDI chip which is located on the dongle - if this is the case,
refer to
Note:
The LPCXpresso internal Flash programmer
cannot be used to erase and re-program JN517x
external Flash memory.
