			== Troubleshooting ==

			If your CC3D Atom is not reachable via in the flash console and you get message "ERROR: No response from target, the Bootloader can not be started", try the following:

			'''1.''' Stay in DOS console for flashing but don't press any button yet.

			'''2.''' Disconnect power from your CC3D Atom (most probably disconnect your USB)

			'''3.''' For the next step, timing is important: reconnect power and press any key to retry flash. You need to be quite fast for successful start of flash proceedure.

Created page with "On this board the BOOT0 pin is exposed as a solder jumper (it doesn't acces to the SWD pins). The simplest method for first-time flashing is thus to use a standard USB-TTL ada..."

New page

On this board the BOOT0 pin is exposed as a solder jumper (it doesn't acces to the SWD pins). The simplest method for first-time flashing is thus to use a standard USB-TTL adapter connected to the UART1 port, which is supported by the GUI. Any subsequent flashing (updating) can be performed as described in [[Updating the Firmware of NT Modules]].

__TOC__

== First-Time Flashing Using a USB-TTL Adapter ==

'''1.''' You will need a standard USB-TTL adapter (see [[STorM32_FAQ#Which USB-TTL should I use.3F|FAQ: Which USB-TTL should I use?]]). Ensure that it is working (drivers installed, etc.).

'''2.''' Connect the serial adapter to the Main port on the CC3D Atom. Do not yet power the CC3D Atom.

'''3.''' Find the BOOT0 solder jumper and close it.

{{COMMENT|do not power the CC3D Atom by connecting its VCC pin to the 3.3 V or 5 V pin on the USB-TTL adapter. This power scheme often doesn't work.}}

'''6.''' Select the Flash Firmware button and a DOS window opens similar to below:

'''7.''' Open the BOOT0 solder jumper again. The CC3D Atom is now ready to be used as NT imu module.

== Updating Firmware ==

For updating the NT firmware you may again use the method described before, but preferably the "canonical" procedure described in [[Updating the Firmware of NT Modules]].
