EVAL6470H-DISC is the evaboard for L6470 fully integrated microstepping motor driver with motion engine and SPI.
UpDate the FW on the EVAL6470H-DISC
First time only: update the MCU firmware following the procedure described below.
Download and install the:
STSW-SPIN002 – Evaluation software with graphical user interface for STSPIN motor driver ICs.
The automatic FW update is too unstable so below we explain the manual update using ST-LINK-v2.
Go in the directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\SPINFamily Evaluation Tool 3.2\Firmware
you must find the files shown below.
The file that we will use is: fwpsin_pcc009v2_FWV2_7.hex
Now connect the ST-LINK-v2 to EVAL6470H-DISC and also connect the USB power cable, see the image below.
Run the ST-LINK-Utility and do the steps: 1, 2 and 3 (see the image below).
Step 2, the file to load is:
fwpsin_pcc009v2_FWV2_7.hex
that is located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\SPINFamily Evaluation Tool 3.2\Firmware
(for Windows 7)
Now your board is updated and you are ready to use the SPINFamily Evaluation Tool 3.2 GUI.
More info on ST-LINK-v2 and ST-LINK-Utility are here.
