Updating The Firmware - QRPworks K-Board User Manual

Updating the Firmware

The K-Board firmware is able to be upgraded via the "PC"
serial port connector.
A common utility program for all QRPworks products, including
Ham Central Terminal, Key Log Go, SideKar, and the K-Board
is available.
To see the K-Board firmware version, press Alt-Z. The LEDs
will flash as described in the Starting Up section of this manual,
and if in a text decoding mode on the rig, the firmware version
will be displayed on the scrolling display.
Technology
The K-Board is a very smart Elecraft centric interface for any
USB keyboard. Inside is a PIC microcontroller. It is a
computer on a chip, complete with CPU, memory, and
EEPROM. Firmware running on the microcontroller controls
the presentation and all functions of the K-Board. There's a lot
of stuff going on!
