AFE4403 HREVM WATCH: Suitable Firmware to offline mode

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE4403

Hello,

Related to AFE4403 HREVM WATCH:

My main goal is to use the watch in OFFLINE MODE.
In other words, I want that the user be able to control the "Wrist Watch State Machine" (page 5 of the www.ti.com/.../slaa671.pdf ) without having to use the GUI. To turn on the watch using the battery, (SW2 ON), to start and end the capture of the data with the push bottom (SW1), store these signals in flash memory, and then download the data via USB to the PC.


I guess that I should obtain the firmware in .txt format to be able to upgrade it, so:

On the one hand when I compile the IDE project (slaa671.zip), it generates a .txt document called msp430_wristwatch_project_iar.txt

On the other hand in "WristWatch AFE4403 EVM Firmware v2.3" , the .txt documents are:
CES_HRMWatch_PC_EVM_GUI_v2.0-CSS.txt
CES_HRMWatch_PC_EVM_GUI_v2.0_CT.txt
CES_HRMWatch_PC_EVM_GUI_v2.0-TX3Mode.txt
CES_HRMWatch_PC_EVM_GUI_v2.0-OSRAM.txt
CES_HRMWatch_PC_EVM_GUI_v2.0-OSRAM1.txt

In conclusion,which firmware among offers TI (cited above) should I use?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards
Rocío

    You can use any of these to simply update the firmware. If you are using an osram sensor, use one of those .txt files

    Thank you very much for the info and for your quick answer.

    In effect, I'm using the OSRAM sensor.

    I still have some doubts, and I will be very thankfully if you could help me:

    1. So, if that I want is using the watch like the "Generic wristwatch programmer's guide (slaa671.pdf)" explains: It would be enough update the firmware with msp430_wristwatch_project_iar.txt that generates the IDE project?

    2. On the other hand, in the AFE4403 HREVM watch's description, says that the device has 9-axis Motion Tracking device that includes a three-axis MEMS accelerometer.Link below: www.ti.com/.../afe4403-hrevm

    Is the msp430_wristwatch_project_iar.txt firmware activates the accelerometers that includes the device?

    Best Regards,
    Rocío

    I tried flashing the msp430_wristwatch_project_iar.txt and the CES_HRMWatch_PC_EVM_GUI_v2.0-CCS-OSRAM.txt firmwares.

    The former brought this error message: <1> firmware is currently installed on the board. Please update the firmware to <2> FW, or use the <3>. Please refer to user's guide for how to update the firmware without using the GUI. GUI will exit now.


    The lattter firmware error reads: AFE4409 firmware is currently installed on the board. Please update the firmware to AFE4403 FW, or use the AFE44x0SPO2EVM GUI. Please refer to user's guide for how to update the firmware without using the GUI. GUI will exit now.
