You basically need a USB to UART board and target MCU with pins taken out. Remember some of our boards are shipped with the serial adapter board. If you do not have one, you may purchase the nice little board below:
Software Setup and usage
Download and install the DS30 bootloader gui.
- 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: The board uses DTR pin of the CP2102 USB to Serial Convertor to reset the MCU. Set it up as shown in the image below.
Step 4: Click on the write option to flash the hex file,. Images below show the sequence.
