3.5 Programming Options

For future implementations, the EV2500 can be programmed using TI’s LMFLASHPROGRAMMER. Download this tool before moving to the next step.

First, put the EV2500 into ROM mode. This is done by removing power from the device and placing a jumper across the SCL and GND of the I2C interface as shown in Figure 3-1.

Once the jumper has been placed, connect to the USB-C port to power the EV2500. The user knows the EV2500 is in ROM mode, when the LEDs are off even when powered. If the LEDs are still on, try this process again.

Open the LMFLASHPROGRAMMER application and navigate to the Configuration Tab. In the Interface dropdown, choose USB DFU and press refresh. If the device is in ROM mode, the “Tiva Device Firmware Update” option is visible. Once this is observed, remove the SCL/GND jumper from the I2C interface as shown in Figure 3-2.

Next, click the Program Tab, choose the .bin file with the updated firmware, and press Program. If this is completed successfully, the LEDs turn back on once programming has been completed.
