Option 1: Semtech USB-I2C Adapter & Wireless Power
GUI
Semtech
’s GUI developed for its wireless power controllers in combination with an adapter board allows
the internal states of the TS8000x to be inspected and modified. One of the features of this development
tool is the ability to download a firmware image, which is the key interest here.
In this section, the information needed to program the TS8000x using the Semtech USB/I2C Adapter
Board and Semtech Wireless Power GUI will be provided. First, the process for downloading and
installing the GUI will be considered. Next, obtaining and setting up the hardware will be covered. Finally,
the procedure for using the GUI to download the firmware image will be detailed.
The material presented here is in full detail with graphics included. At the end of this document, a
shorthand, ‘checklist’ version of these instructions is provided which many users should find to be
sufficiently detailed to document the steps involved in a much more condensed format.
