6. Start PCAN-MicroMod FD Configuration, create a configuration, and finally send this configuration to the PCAN-MicroMod FD (see program help). You can now work with signals at the inputs and outputs as defined in the config- uration and use the CAN monitor PCAN-View on the PC to monitor and send CAN messages.
3.9 RS-232 Connector (J5) The RS-232 connector can alternatively be used for transferring firmware to the PCAN-MicroMod FD. You need a suitable flashing tool, e.g. Flash Magic (www.flashmagictool.com), and a firmware file in hex format. 3 Components of the Evaluation Board PCAN-MicroMod FD Evaluation Board...

4 Firmware Update of the PCAN-MicroMod FD The PCAN-MicroMod FD can be equipped with new firmware in three different ways: via CAN bus (with the Windows program PEAK-Flash) via USB connection (easiest way on the Evaluation Board) via serial RS-232 interface (only for special purposes) The following sections describe the procedures.
Unpack the downloaded PEAK-Flash.zip file to an arbitrary target directory on your Windows computer or copy the PEAK-Flash directory from the data carrier. The PEAK-Flash.exe file in the target directory is the executable to be used later. 4.1.3 Update Procedure 1.
The PCAN MicroMod FD is now ready for use with the new firmware. 4.1.4 Activate Flash Mode by Hardware If the PCAN MicroMod FD cannot be set to Flash mode via PEAK-Flash, this can be done alternatively by hardware. Do the following to set the PCAN-MicroMod FD to flash mode for CAN: 1.
