Updating the Firmware Manually in SmartRF Flash Programmer

You can also update the firmware manually using the SmartRF Flash Programmer (illustrated in

Figure 15). You can use this method if you like to have full control of the firmware image to be

programmed on the controller of the debugger (for example, programming custom firmware or old

firmware revisions).

1. Start the SmartRF Flash Programmer and select the EB application (USB) tab. This tab lets you

program compatible firmware on the CC Debugger (or evaluation boards) via the USB interface (no

external programming device required).

2. Disconnect the debugger from any target board and connect it to the PC via the USB cable. The

debugger appears in the list of connected devices. The chip type is listed as N/A.

3. Select the Flash image you want to program on the debugger. Normally, you would select: C:\Program

4. Select Erase, program and verify in the Actions box.

5. Click the Perform actions button. The programming procedure will start. Note that this takes several

seconds.

6. The CC Debugger reappears in the list of connected devices, now showing the new firmware revision

in the device list.

7. Done!
