2.3 Flash Programming Sequence

  1. Boot the device in device management mode mode.
  2. Open the UniFlash tool or SDK Visualizer (as listed in the MMWAVE-L-SDK for xWRLx432).
  3. Connect to the device over the RS232(UART-B) application/UART port (the device expects a UART break signal – please see the xWRLx432 TRM for more details).
  4. Flash the desired images <META_IMAGE1/ META_IMAGE2/ META_IMAGE3/ META_IMAGE4>
    1. For more information on Meta Images, see Secondary Bootloader
