MKIII Brewer Firmware
Uploading a new firmware and config file
Requirement:
- Firmware file (*.bin) in the same directory as brewCMD.exe
- Corresponding Brewer config file (*.cfg) brewcmd.exe
- (For linux operation, the *.bin and *.cfg should be located in /home/brewer/*)
- Connect the brewer via BrewCMD
- Enter load mode:
loadmode
- Change the baud rate of load mode to 4800:
loadmode 4800
- Flash the *.bin firmware (I.E. For V2 (split boards) board V2R2C.bin or For V1 board V1R3A.bin )
load V2R2C.bin
NOTE: DO NOTE UPLOAD V1R3A to the the newer 2 piece (Version 2) board as that will permanently damage the board.
- BrewCMD will then display the following.
Erasing Flash memory. Writing file VR2R2C.bin to flash ....
- Wait till process is completed it should output 112 dots.
- Turn the instrument off for about 10 seconds then turning it back up
- Enter op mode 9600.
opmode 9600
- Load the config into the brewer (I.E. brew190.cfg)
putcfg brew190.cfg
NOTE: V1 and V2 board has different config layout
- Instruct the Brewer to use the new config
useconfig
- Wait about 5 minutes or so until the micrometer has stopped moving (otherwise you will get qserial timeout)
- Save the config to the eeprom
save
- BrewCMD will display a number (4 or 32 when the firmware is just installed depending on the version of the board)
- Return the brewer back to cosmac mode
loadmode cosmacmode
- Exit BrewCMD and start dosbox
quit
