DWM1001-DEV... get started

I bought some DWM1001-DEV cards to test a bit. I was hoping it would just be a matter of booting up the cards and starting to test myself.

I got a tip via ChatGPT that you can use Putty to go in and tell me if it’s a tracker, anchor or gateway. That’s where the problem started.

It only showed up as a USB device when I connected it to Windows. According to ChatGPT it should be called “JLink CDC UART Port”.

I downloaded J-Link commander and J-Flash. Now my card is shown as “JLink CDC UART Port” after a little fix. J-Link and J-Flash are v8.36. I found a guide that is from 2017, so it doesn’t match today’s version. :frowning:

According to ChatGPT, I should first flash “bootloader.hex” and then “dwm1001.pans-firmware.hex”. I can’t find these files anywhere, but I can find PANS2.hex (but no bootloader).

According to the guide, the firmware should already be on my DWM1001-DEV card, but how do I install it?

Is there a simple guide that applies to J-Flash v8.36, or a J-Flash project that I can download and flash these with a PANS so that I can go in and activate the tracker, anchor or gateway via Putty, Tera Term or CoolTerm?

Sorry if it’s already taken, but I don’t have any idea on this forum right now about where and how to find your questions most easily.

Looks like i fixed this with SEGGER J-Flash Lite V6.80D. So I couldn´t understand the latest one how to update. :frowning:

Hi @MacTommy
you should not believe everything that ChatGPT says 8-). For start use J-Flash lite - set the processor to nRF52832_xxAA type and then point it to the PANS firmware (you can find it here: https://www.qorvo.com/products/d/da008479) . Then clik on Erase chip and then on Program device. This sould do the work.

Then in the documentation above you can find the quick start guide - you should follow it.
