It is possible to upgrade the Toccare control panel firmware on the Master (TD571) and on the Slave (TD574) boards.
The tool used to update fw is Flash Magic (Version 7.40.3104 or later). Moreover, it is necessary to have two specific serial cables normally provided with the panel.
To update the firmware, you need to load 2 different Hex files:
FLASH_ONE.hex
SPIFI_ONE.hex
SPIFI_LOGO.hex (Optional)
How To Upload The FLASH_ONE.hex File
Insert the J12 jumper on the right side
Insert JP2 jumper
Insert the Serial cable (board side connection) into the DB9 connector
Insert the Serial cable (PC site connection) into the PC computer
Switch off the panel for 10 seconds and switch it on again
At this point, the buzzer will start to sound.
Personal Computer Side:
Run Flash Magic.exe
Select in the “Select” field LPC4088 in the ARM Cortex menu
Select the “COM Port” field and the used serial port number (ex., COM1 or COM4)
Select the “Baud Rate” field, 115200 or 57600 value
Select into the “Interface” field None (ISP)
Select into “Hex File” the FLASH_ONE.hex that is necessary to program into the board
Select into the “Oscillator (MHz)” field 12 value
