C200 Receiver Firmware Upgrade Instructions

The C200 Receiver uses a different firmware upgrade application than the other products. If you do not have the Texas Instruments firmware update application "LM Flash Programmer" already, download "LM Flash Programmer" from the following URL and extract and install the application into your computer:

http://www.ti.com/tool/LMFLASHPROGRAMMER

NOTE: Although this is a small, simple program, TI requires you to register with them before they will send you any of their software.  Click on the red "Get Software" button and follow the instructions for a "New user" if you do not already have an account.

1. Save the firmware update file that was emailed to you to your computer's file system. This will be a .BIN file that typically starts with “FPM-10045-“.

2. Plug the black and gray connectors of the programming cable into the C200.

3. To put the C200 into programming mode, the programming cable's "Main" USB plug needs to be plugged into your computer before applying power to the C200. Plug in the AC adapter after the USB cable is plugged into the computer.

4. Run the LM Flash Programmer program. If the program does not open, try right-clicking the file and selecting “Run as Administrator”. Fill out the tabs as follows:

4a. Configuration tab:

Quick Set: select "Manual Configuration"

Interface: select "USB DFU"

NOTE: If “USB DFU” does not show up as an option, try updating the USB driver with the following patch:

http://software-dl.ti.com/tiva-c/SW-TM4C/latest/exports/SW-TM4C-2.1.4.178.PATCH-1.0.zip

1. While the C200 device is connected to the computer, open up Device Manager.

2. Find “Stellaris Device Firmware Upgrade” and choose “Update Driver”.

3. Choose “Browse my computer for driver software”.

4. Select your extracted “windows_drivers” folder. Disregard the patch_readme.txt file that instructs you to “Replace the folder "windows_drivers" of TivaWare v2.1.1.178 with the contents of this patch.”

In the pane at center-right, "0-Stellaris Device Firmware Update" should be shown. If it isn't, click the "Refresh" button which is above this pane.  If it still doesn't appear, unplug the programming cable from the AC adapter and unplug the "Main" USB cable from the computer, and repeat steps 2 and 3 (note that it is not necessary to restart the LM Flash Programmer program).

4b. Program tab:

Select .bin file: click the "Browse" button and select the firmwre update file you saved in step 1 above.

Select "Verify After Program"

Select "Reset MCU After Program"

Set "Program Address Offset" to "0" (zero)

4c. The other tabs do not require any settings.

5. Confirm the settings in 3a and 3b above. In the Program tab click on the "Program" button. At the bottom of the tab a progress bar will show "Programming" for a few seconds, then "Verify

Complete - Passed" if all went well.

6. Disconnect the programming cable, reinstall the C200, and test the system operation.

7. We recommend that you rematch the handhelds with the C200 after updating the firmware.
