Re: EEPROM WRITER for PL2303 adafruit 954 by adafruitsupportmike on Thu Feb 11, 2016 11:06 pm The only other option we know is their sales address: sales@prolific.com.tw. The EEPROM writer program is different and not compatible. Contact Prolific for the latest versions. Below is a comparison table for the drivers, tools, and utilities used for each controller: Table 2 – Prolific PL-2303 Drivers and Programs Comparison Table PL-2303H PL-2303HX / PL-2303X Windows Driver Support. The OTPROM can be programmed twice using the dedicated PL2303RA EEPROM Writer utility software which can be requested from Prolific or authorized distributors The PL2303RA supports versatile data formats and has a programmable baud rate generator. The supported data formats are shown on Table 7.

STM32 - Flashowanie przez USB

Warranty; Advanced design of the BeeProg2 universal programmer, including protective circuits, original brand components, careful manufacturing and burning-in allow us to provide a three-year warranty on parts and workmanship of the programmer (limited 25 000-cycle warranty on ZIF sockets).; Elnec provides free shipping of programmer repaired under warranty back to customer world wide.

Przypuszczam, że nie chodzi Ci o flashowanie stricte przez USB ;> ? Może być przez wbudowaną w zestaw przejściówkę USB-UART? Do poczytania. W załączniku archiwum ze sterownikiem do przejściówki USB<->UART (PL2303). Profilaktycznie możesz sprawdzić czy w Twoim zestawie nie ma czasem innego układu. Po zainstalowaniu sterownika system Windows ma wykrywać coś w stylu 'Prolific USB to serial com port'. Uwaga - musisz podłączać się do gniazda USB oznaczonego CN3 na płytce. Program do flashowania -> 'Flash Loader Demonstrator' - ściągasz ze strony ST. Jeśli korzystasz z linuksa to driver do przejściówki raczej nie będzie potrzebny, a zamiast Flash Loader Demonstratora możesz wykorzystać stm32flash. Żeby uaktywnić bootloader postępujesz tak jak napisał McMonster. Ten mikrokontroler nie ma bootloadera DFU, więc program 'dfuse' nie zadziała. Jeśli chcesz korzystać z flashowania bezpośrednio przez USB i program 'dfuse' to musisz zaprogramować mikrokontroler odpowiednim wsadem. ST pewnie udostępnia gotowca w bibliotece USB.

This section will guide you on how to install the PL-2303 Windows Driver. You can download the latest
Driver Installer program from Prolific Support website:
http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=225 &amp; pcid=41
Note: Please take notice of the installation order. First, run the Driver Installer Program before
plugging in the USB to Serial adapter. If you already plug the device during the driver installation, you
need to re-plug the device for Windows to enumerate the device and load the drivers installed. If your
device is embedded to the system, you might need to restart the system (or click rescan hardware
changes in Device Manager) to reload and install the driver.
The following steps will show how to install the device under Windows 7 (64-bit) OS as this is the most
