Firmware Installation Guide

This is code that uploads Young Lab DAC/ADC firmware to an Arduino Giga. If there's no firmware directory present, make sure that you've downloaded this from the latest DAC/ADC firmware release.

1. Make sure you have dfu-util installed

• Linux (Debian): sudo apt install dfu-util
• MacOS: brew install dfu-util
• Windows:
  • Download the dfu-util to your local system, e.g., under D:\dfu-util.
  • Rename it to dfu-util.exe.
  • Append the path of the dfu-util.exe to the system environment variable PATH.

2. Run pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Plug in Arduino Giga

4. Run python3 upload_firmware.py {target} {serial number}

{target} can be one of:

• new_hardware
• old_hardware
• new_shield_old_dac_adc

{serial number} must be 3 characters

5. To modify the serial number of an existing device, simply run python3 patch_serial_number.py {serial number}
