How to configure CP2102 USB adapters for high baud rates

2015-10-27T23:31:47Z

Xor:

CP210x have 32 fixed UART baud rates to a desired baud rate, e.g. requested baud rate in 57-300 range - 300 real baud will be used.
Range 1474561-2457600 should be reconfigured to 2000000.

== Configuration Procedure ==

'''1.''' Run CP21xxCustomizationUtility from [http://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/Software/AN197SW.zip AN721SW]
:[[File:CP21xxCustomizationUtility 0.png|568px]]

'''2.''' Select your device from list if it is not selected
:[[File:CP21xxCustomizationUtility 1.png|568px]]

'''3.''' Expand Baud Rate Alias
:[[File:CP21xxCustomizationUtility 2.png|568px]]

'''4.''' Set both upper ranges (1474561-2457600 and 2457601-xxxxxxxxx) to 2000000 and click "Program Device"

Updating the Firmware of NT Modules

2015-10-27T21:37:49Z

Xor: /* Updating Procedure */

All NT Modules can be updated with a new firmware using the procedure below.

{{COMMENT|Updating implies that the module has a NT firmware running. If the module has never been flashed with a NT firmware before, or runs a different firmware, you must do first a "First Time Flashing". Please inspect the related wiki pages.}}

== Updating Procedure ==

'''1.''' You need a USB-TTL adapter with FTDI chip set or [[How-to configure CP2102 to 2000000 baud rate|Configured CP2102]] ({{WARNING|'''not'''}} PL2303). Ensure that it is working (drivers installed, etc.).

{{COMMENT|To avoid confusion some explanation: For flashing the main STorM32 controller board USB adapters with both FTDI and CP2102 chip sets can be used, while for flashing NT modules only FTDI adapters work out of the box, because the CP2102 chips won't handle the high baudrate of the NT bus. The CP2102 USB adapters can be configured to work with the NT baudrate using a Silabs configuration tool, but this would have to be done [[http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=32873756&postcount=300]] See [[How-to configure CP2102 to 2000000 baud rate]]. USB adapters with PL2303 chips NEVER work since they don't provide TTL levels.}}

'''2.''' Connect the USB-TTL adapter to the NT bus connector.

:"GND" to "G"

:"VCC" to "5V"

:"TX-" to "Rx"

:"RX-" to "Tx"

'''3.''' Connect the USB-TTL adapter to the computer and open the GUI.

'''4.''' Go to the {{GUI|Flash Firmware}} tab as seen below. Choose the firmware in the {{GUI|STorM32-BGC board}} combo box field, or via the {{GUI|Selected Firmware Hex File}} text field. Select {{GUIPARAM|System Bootloader @ UART1}} in the {{GUI|STM32 Programmer}} field, and the {{GUI|Com Port}} associated with your USB-TTL adapter. Ensure that the {{GUIPARAM|Use NT boot mode}} check box is checked.

:[[File:GUI_Flash_1.jpg|640px]]

'''5.''' Hit the {{GUI|Flash Firmware}} button. A DOS box will open, and the firmware will be flashed.
