To read or write a hex file to the CC2540/41, select the "System-on-Chip" tab (default). The connected
CC2540/41 should be detected and show up in the list of devices. Under "Flash image" select the desired
hex file that you would like to write to the device. If you are reading from the CC2540/41, under "Flash
image" enter the desired path and filename for the hex file. To write to the CC2540/41, under "Actions"
select "Erase, program and verify". To read from the CC2540/41, under "Actions" select "Read flash into
hex-file". To begin the read or write, click the button "Perform actions".
If the action completes successfully, you should see the progress bar at the bottom of the window fill up,
and either one of the following two messages, depending on whether a write or a read was performed:
"CC254X - IDXXXX: Erase, program and verify OK" or "CC254X - IDXXXX: Flash read OK".
There are two pre built image files intended for the Advanced Remote Kit.
