Updating Firmware Using the xDot Bootloader

[Tony Liu]

Hi

I’m trying to update the firmware using the xDot Bootloader according to the instructions in the developer guide.

However, I’m not sure how to get the name_of_program_application.bin file — I’m using the Mbed online IDE compiler and it seems to only give me name_of_program.bin. Is there a way to get the correct bin file using the online compiler?

In the developer guide:

The mbed build process creates two files when building for the bootloader. The
name_of_program_application.bin file is the application with the correct offset that can be transferred via
YMODEM onto the xDot using the bootloader. The name_of_program.bin file is the entire program with the
bootloader than can be flashed on using jtag (this file cannot be transferred onto the xdot via YMODEM).
