6.3 Remote upgrade firmware
The Power Debugger client supports remote firmware updates or changing working modes and other settings for the receiving end under three operating modes, meeting developers' debugging needs in various working scenarios. The following are two points to note during the configuration process。
Power Debugger client support, in three modes of operation, remote update the receiver's firmware or change the operating mode and other settings, to meet the needs of developers in a variety of work scenarios debugging, the following two points need to be noted in the configuration process:
- Receiver device corresponding to the currently connected transmitter USB When not connected.
- Current device status display Connected, see Device connection status.
When the above conditions are met, it means that the device is connected, but the receiving end device is not in the local environment, at this time, the device will be connected to the interface, see the remote operation icon, see below:
When the remote icon is clicked, a direct connection will be made to the transmitter device, allowing for configuration updates on the transmitter side and upgrading of the remote device's firmware functionality.
When the working mode is switched to remote mode, only the remote device settings can be updated and the firmware can be upgraded, the RTT function and the serial port function cannot be used, if you need to use the above functions, you need to disconnect the remote mode and switch back to the standard mode, the switching method is as follows: Disconnecting the remote receiver will exit the remote mode.
1.Ensure that the transmitter and receiver have been successfully paired.
After the two devices have been successfully paired, the green status light on the devices will remain continuously lit. If the light does not stay on, it indicates that the pairing was unsuccessful. You should check whether both devices are powered on correctly and whether their working modes are configured consistently. Only when the two devices have been successfully paired can the receiver be remotely configured via the transmitter.For the configuration process of the four working modes, please refer to:Quick Start-Debugger
2.Configure the Wi-Fi network
- When switching the working mode to LAN (Local Area Network) mode or public network mode, it is necessary to configure the Wi-Fi network simultaneously; otherwise, it may result in unsuccessful pairing after updating the working mode. The general configuration sequence is to set the receiver first and then the transmitter. Modifying only the transmitter's working mode and network parameters can lead to connection failures.
- When switching the working mode to local Wi-Fi direct connection mode, ensure that the network channel is consistent.
3.Demonstrate the operation process
When the device is in local Wi-Fi direct connection mode, use the transmitter to change the receiver's working mode to LAN mode. This process applies when switching to any other working modes as well.
Click on the device recognition status at the top of the software, then click on the remote agent's logo. A pop-up window for serial port forwarding settings will appear. Test the connection first, and forward the test connection successfully.Check the box for Enable Transmitting from sender, and then click the start button.
After clicking Test Connection, there will be two possible test results: Forwarding Test Successful and Forwarding Test Failed.
If the forwarding test is successful, you can switch to the receiver settings page and proceed with configuring the receiver. If the forwarding test fails, it indicates that the transmitter and receiver have not been successfully paired yet, possibly due to different working modes. In this case, you need to re-pair the devices and ensure that the status LED (green light) remains continuously lit.
- After entering the receiver settings page, you can update the firmware version of the receiver on the About page.
