1 Introduction
This document provides reprogramming instructions for the firmware of the MCU contained on the
KITUSBSPIEVME and the KITUSBSPIDGLEVME boards. It uses the USB connector instead of the MON08
connector (typical method).
Both boards can be programmed through the USB connector, if the most recent firmware is installed. The jumpers,
only on the KITUSBSPIEVME board, must remain in the position used in the normal operation mode.

2 Instructions to Update an EVME Board with new
Firmware
CAUTION
Avoid touching the MON08 pins while unplugging and plugging in the USB cable
as this may cause the EVME Board to think it is connected to a MON08 source.
1. Connect the USB cable to the EVME board and the PC.
2. Test the connection by running SPIGen, clicking on Extra Pins, and selecting Data0 High and
Data0 Low. The LED3 will toggle.
3. Select File and then select the Set Firmware Update Mode.

4. When the message box appears asking you “Are you sure you want to set the dongle to firmware
update mode?”, click on Yes. LED2 should go out.
A) If LED2 does not go out, then the EVME is not capable of being reprogrammed using the USB
port. It can only be reprogrammed using a Cyclone Pro or Multilink adapter. Contact Freescale
for further details.
B) If LED2 does goes out, then the EVME is capable of being reprogrammed using the USB port.
5. Click on the OK button twice to complete the procedure.
6. Exit SPIGen.
CAUTION
Avoid touching the MON08 pins while unplugging and plugging in the USB cable
as this may cause the EVME Board to think it is connected to a MON08 source.
7. Disconnect the EVME board from the PC’s USB Port.
8. Plug the EVME board back into the USB port. All LEDs on the Dongle should go off.
9. Windows should prompt you to install a driver for the device, unless you have done this procedure
before and Windows already knows the proper driver to use.

10. If Windows prompts you for a new driver, Install the USBICP.SYS driver file found in the
C:\Program Files\SPIGen\ICP Programming Application folder using the USBICP.INF file.
Right click on this file and select Install or point the install wizard to it in the C:\Program
Files\SPIGen\ICP Programming Application folder.
11. Run the ISPexe.exe program found in the C:\Program Files\SPIGen\ICP Programming
Application folder. The following screen should appear. Browse to the C:\Program
Files\SPIGen\ICP Programming folder.

12. When prompted, open the JW32ISP_be_7000_EBFF.IMP personality file also found in the
C:\Program Files\SPIGen\ICP Programming Application folder.
13. Click on the Erase FLASH button.
14. Click OK.

15. Click on the Select File button and select the usb_spi_image_xx-xx-xxx.s19 (this file name may
contain a date) or the usb_spi_image_mc33912 file, if you are trying to run the MC33912 EVME
in the C:\Program Files\SPIGen\USB_SPI Images folder. Click on Open.
16. Click on the Program button to program the Dongle (or EVME).
17. If successful, click OK.
18. Exit the ISPexe.exe.
19. Disconnect the EVME board from the USB port and then reconnect it. The LED2 should illuminate.
20. Run SPIGen and test the EVME board as explained in step 2.
