Firmware

The Vinculum Firmware User Manual can be found on the Documents page.
This includes explanations of the application and capabilities of each build of firmware.  VDAP Firmware is installed on all new VDRIVE and VDIP modules by default and will typically be the version applicable to most applications.  VMUSIC modules require VMSC1 Firmware.  To utilise VDPS Firmware external hardware is required for VDIP modules.

Applications and Utilities

 
VEVAL Program for use with the V-Eval development board.  Can be used as a terminal application, for reprogramming the VNC1L and for monitoring data sent to and from the VNC1L UART. NOTE: the FT2232 device on the V-Eval board requires FTDI's CDM drivers
VNC_PROG Programmer Multi-threaded program for use with the VPROG1 programmer board.  Can be used to program up to 10 VNC1 devices at a time with a specified firmware library. NOTE: the FT232R device in the VPROG1 board requires FTDI's CDM drivers
VPROG Re-Flash Utility Program to allow re-flashing of VNC1L Flash ROM.  Includes a manual with required hardware configuration
VPROG Re-Flash Utility (COM Port Version) Program to allow re-flashing of VNC1L Flash ROM from legacy COM ports. NOTE: RS232 level converter required to interface VNC1L to 12V COM port
Vinculum Firmware Customiser (V1.1b) Application to modify firmware default behaviour such as default Baud rate or set short command set.  A user manual is also available.
VPLAY Application to play music through a VMUSIC1 module (requires TTL-232R-3V3)
