MAX32625PICO Firmware Updates
MAX32625PICO Firmware Updates¶
Just like most DAPLink interfaces, the MAX32625PICO board comes pre-installed with a bootloader that enables driverless drag-n-drop updates. This bootloader can be used to update or restore the DAPLink firmware on the MAX32625PICO board, but it can also be used to load your own custom firmware images on the board. This allows you to use the MAX32625PICO board as a tiny, embeddable development platform. To activate the bootloader, simply hold the lone button down while applying power to the board. When the bootloader detects the button press at power on, it will connect to the PC as a drive named "MAINTENANCE". Simply drag and drop the desired image onto the MAINTENANCE drive to load new firmware into the board.
Here is a link to the DAPLink image that is loaded prior to shipping if you want to restore the board for use as a DAPLink programming adapter:
File | Description |
---|---|
max32625pico_daplink.bin | Default factory image for MAX32620/21, MAX32625/26, MAX32630/31 |
max32625pico_max32660_vio_in.bin | Image for MAX32660 VIO is input |
max32625pico_max32660_power_out.bin | Image for MAX32660 applies 3.3V to VIO! |
Information
All images support CDC virtual UART and HID CMSIS-DAP debugging/programming with any target. Only MSD drag-n-drop programming is specific to the targets listed above.
Warning
Be careful when using the MAX32660 image with 3.3V power output. This image will apply 3.3V to the VIO pin of the MAXDAP connector which is incompatible with many targets. This allows using the MAX32625PICO board to power the MAX32660 Evaluation Kit, but it may permanently damage other target boards that connect VIO to 1.8V.
