MicroCode Loader Quick Start Guide

Using the MicroCode Loader is very easy. This quick start guide assumes you already have a target microcontroller programmed with the necessary bootloader software and that you have a suitable development board for the target microcontroller. You will also need to make a slight modification to your source code before using MicroCode Loader.

Using the Loader with MicroCode Studio Plus

  • Connect a serial cable between your computer and development board. Apply power to the board.
  • From the ICD toolbar, select the serial port you will be using to communicate with the development board.
  • Ensure that the MicroCode Loader option is selected by using the drop down selection box to the right of 'Compile and Program' or 'ICD Compile and Program'.
  • Press either 'Compile and Program' or 'ICD Compile and Program'. At this point, the MicroCode Loader application software may ask you to reset the development board in order to establish communications with the resident microcontroller bootloader. Press reset to establish communications.

Using the Loader as a Stand Alone Application

  • Connect a serial cable between your computer and development board. Apply power to the board.
  • Start the MicroCode Loader application software.
  • From the main toolbar, select the serial port you will be using to communicate with the development board.
  • Open the *.hex file you want to program into the target microcontroller.
  • Press the program button. At this point, the MicroCode Loader application software may ask you to reset the development board in order to establish communications with the resident microcontroller bootloader. Press reset to establish communications.
