THE PROCESS

From connection
to a fresh start.

Prepare your computer first. Your account then brings together access, a place in the queue and a guided programming session.

01 / PREPARE

Connect your board.

Follow the board-specific guide. Install the matching drivers and check your USB interface or UART ISP adapter.

02 / ACCESS

Choose your service.

Prepare your PC first. The administrator personally approves one-time service access for your account.

03 / IDENTIFY

Prepare the package.

The client reads the MCU UID. The server prepares compatible files for that UID and the approved FVDI serial configuration.

04 / PROGRAM

Follow each stage.

Program BOOT through ISP when required, then switch to USB for FW and DB. Review the result and restart instructions.

Already have a compatible bootloader? The separate FW + DB update path does not require programming BOOT again.

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

Ready at the bench.
Before you begin.

Use a Windows 10 or 11 programming computer. The desktop client handles the physical USB and UART connection while the website manages your session.

BENCH ESSENTIALS

Make the right connection.

Keep the connection guide close and choose drivers for the actual chip in your adapter.

GUIDES

Connection instructions

Board photographs, connection diagrams and a step-by-step PDF viewer. Board-specific instructions will be added before programming is released.

WINDOWS 10 / 11

Drivers & desktop client

FVDI USB / FTDI and UART ISP setup, with separate guidance for CP210x and PL2303 adapters. Review compatibility before installation.

A LITTLE CLARITY

Before you
plug in.

Understand the workflow before starting a programming session.

Do I need the desktop client?

Yes. The website handles your account and session. The Windows desktop client communicates with the FVDI USB interface and UART ISP adapter. A web page alone does not run this programming workflow.

Do I always need to write the bootloader?

No. Board preparation includes UART ISP programming of the compatible bootloader when needed. An interface that already has a compatible bootloader can use the separate FW + DB update path.

Does programming change the hardware MCU UID?

No. The MCU UID is read from the device. The server uses it to prepare the database binding; it does not change the hardware UID. Serial configuration is handled separately and requires a compatible profile.

What happens if the internet disconnects?

Before programming starts, the client must have the complete validated package and start authorization. Once writing has started, loss of internet must not interrupt that authorized transfer. A pending result can be reported when the connection returns. Loss of power or USB may still interrupt programming.

Is this also the PC I use for FVDI software?

The programming client targets Windows 10 / 11. Running your existing FVDI application on Windows 7 is a separate setup, with its own software and driver compatibility requirements.
