2.9 Updating the EVM Firmware

To upload new firmware to the EVM, navigate to the "Firmware" page from the GUI menu and follow these steps. The images below show uploading the FDC2214 EVM firmware, but the steps are identical for any LDC, FDC, or HDC EVM when using their respective firmware files.

  1. Click the button to select a TI-TXT firmware file

  4. Wait for the firmware to upload. Do NOT disconnect the EVM from the PC at this time! Also note that the GUI will disconnect from the EVM. The upload process should not take more than one minute. If the upload fails or lasts longer than one minute, unplug the EVM and restart the GUI.
