5.1 Programming the EVM

It is recommended to do a firmware update in the case that the EVM is not connecting to the GUI after multiple attempts. A pop-up message will appear when firmware is out of date. The following steps describe how to update the firmware of the EVM using the GUI:

  1. Connect EVM to GUI following instructions in Section 4.1.
  2. Open the GUI and click on the "DRV3901-Q1EVM" icon on the right side of the main start-up page. The GUI will attempt to connect to the EVM but may fail. Please be patient and wait until either the GUI says the EVM was not connected successfully or it was connected.
  3. Click on File -> Program Device to begin programming the EVM (see Figure 5-3). A pop-up small window will appear showing the firmware flashing progress. If there are any errors, it will display a message. If no errors, there will be a display indication the flashing was successful.
  4. The GUI will attempt to connect to the EVM. After successfully connecting, the page will resemble Figure 5-3. If connection is not successful, follow instructions in Section 4.1and Section 4.2.
