Firmware Install / Upgrade

First, your PHCC Motherboard must be programmed with the PHCC Firmware Bootloader.

Then you should be ready for PHCC Firmware Upload.

Communication Setup

If you want to test PHCC communications using a terminal program, make sure you use the correct settings.
It is important that you remember that there are two sets of settings:

1. Bootloader Mode
2. Firmware Mode

Bootloader Mode Communications Settings

• 19200 bits/sec
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control

or, in short: 19200 8N1 (no XON/XOFF, no RTS/CTS)

Firmware Mode Communications Settings

• 115200 bits/sec
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• 1 stop bit
• hardware flow control (RTS/CTS)

or, in short: 115200 8N1 RTS/CTS

Testing your PHCC Setup
