Figure 4-2. Multiple EVMs Connected to SCB Controller
4.2.1 Setup
4.2.1.1 Driver Installation
Download and install this driver:
https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/sbac253
. This is a one-time step per computer. Unzip
the folder and
run the .exe file with administrator privileges
.
4.2.1.2 Firmware
Firmware updates will be pushed through the GUI (requires previous driver to be installed). Downloaded offline
GUIs will only update the SCB Controller with the latest firmware available at the time of download. To check for
the latest GUI or Firmware updates, launch the GUI from the web browser.
4.2.1.2.1 Firmware Debug
If the firmware must be manually reinstalled for any reason, follow these steps to reinstall the firmware. Make
sure the EVM is connected to the SCB.
1. First, see if the GUI can program the firmware manually.
a. Plug in the SCB controller to the PC.
b. Launch the GUI.
c. It is possible that the MCU has already entered DFU mode. If so, the GUI may notify you and try to
update the firmware to the latest version.
d. If it does not update automatically, go to File > Program Device...
2. If that does not work (or if the
Program Device
button is grayed out), manually configure the MCU on the
SCB Controller to be in Device Firmware Update (DFU) Mode. This can be done through either of the below
methods with the SCB Controller powered on:
a. Through software:
• For safety,
turn off and disconnect all load sources and external voltages
.
• Send the command 'bsl' on the SCB's USB Serial (COM) port.
b. Though hardware:
• While shorting the two test points labeled "DFU" (shown in
wire), press and release the RESET button.
