How to Guide - Flashing firmware

[admin]

Occasionally we will have new firmware upgrades for the SuperCard Pro board. To flash the board, it has to be placed into a special flash mode. To put the board into this mode, do the following:

• Attach the SuperCard Pro to a PC system's USB port.
  
• Remove jumper J1.
  
• Insert the flash jumper so that GND and Rx/Tx on port RS232-1 is jumpered.
  
• Make sure board is powered via USB or through the 3.5" floppy port connector.
  
• Re-insert jumper J1.
  

At this point, a single blue LED should be lit up in the series of LEDs labeled "The Pretty Lights". This means that the board is in flash mode. The flash jumper was provided with your SuperCard Pro board

See the close up picture for reference.

After putting the board into flash mode you can then use the flash software to update the firmware. Once completed, remove the flash jumper and power off and then on the SuperCard Pro board. It's ready to use.
