Flashing the Hex file using ds30 bootloader

STEP 1: Downloadand install the DS30 bootloader gui. Step 2:

• Browse the hex file
• Select the appropriate MCU
• Select the baud rate as 9600
• Select the correct com port detected on your computer, when using USB to serial convertor check for exact COM port number in device manager

Step 3: Click on the write option to flash the hex file, RESET the board immediately so that bootloader is detected. Images below show the sequence. <hovergallery maxhoverwidth=600 maxhoverheight=600> File:DS30 Step1.PNG
