Development Kit

Package Content

  • The Copernitech programmer
  • USB cable

Prerequisites

To upload firmware to the devices, J-Fash Lite is required. It is a little GUI for Windows, Linux and macOS.

Overview

The development kit enables users of our devices to upload firmware and change the configuration of the devices.

Please refer to the command set documentation for more information about how to configure your device for a specific use case.

Copernitech programmer

Attaching the programming connector

Attach the connector to the device's PCB (circuit board). The placement is guided with three little holes in the board. You need to fix the connector with a clip from the other side.

Powering the device

Depending on the device which requires an update, it will either be powered by a battery (which needs to be inserted before firmware update) or by a USB cable. Ensure the device is powered before proceeding.

Uploading new firmware

To upload firmware to your device, you need to have J-Flash Lite installed on your machine. This tool automatically recognizes our programming adaptor and will ask you for a firmware binary file to upload to the device.

Possibly you will be asked to define the target device (MCU) and some other settings. Please enter the following configuration.

  • Device: STM32L082CZ (this may depend on the device you're using)
  • Interface: SWD
  • Speed: 400 kHz

The UART interface

  • some devices are accessible through a virtual COM port, which should automatically appear in the Windows Device Manager when you plug in the USB cable
  • In case this does not happen, you may need to install the USB Serial (CDC) drivers using Zadig
