Flashing The Dusty Module

The complete guide can be found at Linear Technology ESP Guide (ETERNA01).

Required Software

All software from Linear Technology ESP (ETERNA04) is required (exclusing FTDI drivers if you have a normal laptop…)

Backing-Up the Existing Flash

Warning

Flashing the Dusty module will overwrite the existing flash. Back up the existing flash in case things go wrong!

First a backup of the existing Flash should be created with the following command

$ ESP.exe -r IPM_Flash_01_Orig.bin

        ESP, Eterna SPI Programmer, version 1.1.1-6
        cfg.devName = Auto, type = 0, flashID = 0x1f24, locID = 0x0, spiClkHz = 3000000
        FTCSPI.dll = 2.1.2.2
        INFO: clkHz set to 3000000
        Open ok, flash emulation mode enabled, devName = Dust Interface Board B
        Read: fileName = IPM_Flash_01_Orig.bin, offset = 0, len = 524288
        ................

        setup = 1843 ms, dt = 1625 ms
        ESP exiting: tries remaining = 0, err = 0

Check to see that the file was

$ ls

        Directory: ..\Eterna-Serial-Programmer\esp_1.1.1.6

Flashing the Whole Image

4 image components are required to flash the whole image

Image Component	Start Address (Hex)
Fuse Table	0
Partition Table	800
Main Executable	1000
Load	77800

Each component is flashed onto the Dusty module with the command

$ ESP.exe -P [Image] [Start Hex-Addr]

Thus, with these items located in the current directory:

$ ESP.exe -P FuseTable.bin 0
$ ESP.exe -P PartitionTable.bin 800
$ ESP.exe -P Main.bin 1000
$ ESP.exe -P Loader.bin 77800
