Updating the Firmware

Next, use the SmartRF Flash Programmer to program the bootloader on the debugger. Follow these five

steps (illustrated in Figure 20):

1. Start the application and select Program Evaluation Board in the What do you want to program? drop

down box, then select the EB Bootloader tab.

2. In the Device box, select SmartRF05EB regardless of the device being used to program the debugger.

For example, select SmartRF05EB both when you are using a CC Debugger and when you are using

a SmartRF05EB for the resurrection.

3. Select which Flash image to program. The bootloader image is included when installing the Flash

programmer and it is usually located at “C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\SmartRF

Tools\Firmware\CC Debugger”.

4. In the Board identification box, give the debugger a unique ID number; any 4 digit number will work.

This number is used by the driver on the PC to uniquely identify devices if more than one debugger is

connected at the same time.

5. Select Erase, program and verify in the Actions box

6. Click the Perform Actions button. The firmware upgrade takes a few seconds.

Once the bootloader is programmed, you might be asked to install a USB driver on the PC. Follow the

same procedure as when the debugger was connected to the PC the first time (see Section 5).
