Hello!
I have a DA14580 BLE module conected to a FTDI chip wicth is connected to the USB of my notebook.
I want to load the DA14580 with the Serial Port Service. Is it possible to do that by using the Smartsnippets software? Is so, how is it done? I guess I need to use a HEX file generated from Keil, but where is it? If not, is there another way to download the SPS to the DA14580 BLE module?
Thanks!
Hi Fernando,
The hex file can be found in the out folder of the project (you will have to build the project first, of course).
...\DA14580_DSPS_3.150.1.5\DA14580_DSPS_3.150.1.5\dk_apps\keil_projects\sps\sps_device_fh\out
SmartSnippets is an excellent tool for this. Select the UART mode during start-up and set the COM port to match the virtual port of your FTDI driver. After SmartSnippets has started up, select the Booter icon (left of screeen, second icon from the top). Browse to specify the hex file and click download to download it.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you very much for the reply!
The directory you pointed out contains a lot of files, but there is onlyone .hex file, full_emb_sysram.hex. Is this one the file that has to be downloaded?
Yes, full_emb_sysram.hex is the correct file.
