Application Version History

(See VRREADME in 'mini_io' project directory for detailed version history)

• 1.3
• 1.2

Bootloader and Application Programming

Follow instructions of Embedded CAN Page to program BL and Application, EmbeddedCAN.

The file to flash for the Application is located at: 'C:\Users\sam\svn\projects\mini_io\mini\vr_release_0xa000_elf'.

(In this case, the user was ‘sam’, but this may vary between different PC’s.)

Provisioning

• Apply the VRSN sticker to the back of the VR CAN I/O board. (Don't set VRSERIAL yet)
• Disconnect the Mini IO Board from the Controller (if it is currently connected).
• In the console, enter:

candump can0

• Re-connect the Mini IO Board to the Controller. If the bootloader has been correctly loaded, the output should resemble the one in the image. 'BADBEEF' may be replaced with a VRSERIAL (in hexidecimal) if the board was previously programmed with one.

• Use the host to check the uC firmware's version number (manual step)
  • login to the host

nc localhost 2020
set vrproto enabled
get version

The version reported should resemble the most recent one in the history above.
