Summary

• To manually update XP-SNET firmware v3.48 to XP-SNET firmware v4.13a

• To manually update MK800E firmware v1.47 to v1.52.

Step-by-step Guide:

• To manually update XP-SNET firmware v3.48 to XP-SNET firmware v4.13a:

Step 1: Power off the XP-SNET controller, short the 'PROG' jumper and remove the 'E-WDT' jumper at CPU board, as illustrated in the figure below:

Step 5: Power on XP-SNET controller board and click Start on the Flash Magic application. Wait for the firmware update process to finish.

Step 6: Remove RS232 cable from CON 38 at the Base board [MAC-S1-BASE v1.7]. Remove the 'PROG' jumper and short the 'E-WDT' jumper. Then, Coldstart the XP-SNET controller.

• To manually update MK800E firmware v1.47 to v1.52:

Step 1: Run the MPLAB IPE application and connect the PICKIT tool to the PC. Configure the correct device and tool as shown below.

1. Go to Programmer and select PICKit 3.
2. Go to Configure > Select Device > Device PIC18F6622 and click OK.
3. Go to Configure > Select Configuration Bits. To set the Configuration Bits, refer to the setting below:
   
4. To import firmware, go to File > Import > Select the provided * hex file (firmware file).

Step 4: Power up MK800E and connect the PICKIT tool to ICD port (indicated in the figure below) on MK800E board.
