Installing latest firmware with KMotion.dll

[hufster]

We would like to update KFLOP firmware without using the KMotion UI.

We are using the KMotion.dll to communicate over serial usb.

We tried invoking CKMotionDLL::LoadCoff(Thread = 6, Name = <Path to DSPKFLOP.out>, PackToFlash=1). This didn't fail but also didn't update our firmware version on KFLOP.

Update :

We got it working with the following -

• Invoke - CKMotionDLL::LoadCoff(Thread = 6, Name = <Path to DSPKFLOP.out>, PackToFlash=1)
• Send - ProgFlashImage
• Send - Reboot!

There is still a small kink in that after rebooting, we try sending the Version command to verify that it is the version we flashed, but it responds with "Program Flash Image Complete", but I think we can work around that.

If there is an alternative preferred method for accomplishing this, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi hufster,

Glad you got it working. The Visual Basic example Jogger has a command line option "UpdateFirmware" to update the KFLOP Firmware that uses a similar method.
