Setting up EasyIAP SW and programming the hex file


  • Connect the Board to the computer and install Windows USB to UART Drivers for CP2102.
    • Note: Power up the board with 7 to 12V, 1A adapter, the board does not power up from USB.
  • Note down the COM Port Number e.g. COM 2 from device manager
  • Download EasyIAP and install it.
  • Follow the steps in the pictures below to detect the board and flash the hex file
