6 Recovery from Corrupted Binary

If the sensor headboard fails to accept new programming, it could be due to a corrupted binary.

The following procedure can be used to cause the part to reboot and bypass the programmed image.

1. Start DevWareX and "Probe" to identify the part. When the "Startup Wizard" dialog appears, deselect all options and select "Finish".
2. Set Register 0x20 bit 5 to 1; this will disable access to the Flash/EEPROM.
3. Toggle Register 0x10 bit 0 on/off; this preforms a soft reset on the sensor.
4. Verify that Register 0x1C = 0x3000; indicates a successful reboot.  Leave DevWareX running.
5. Run FlashTool and attempt to program the Flash/EEPROM.
6. Select "Verify" to ensure the binary was programmed correctly.
7. Go back to DevWareX and clear Register 0x20 bit 5 and toggle Register 0x10 bit 0 on/off.
8. From the Command Menu item, select "Check Sensor State", then select "Play" - you should see a stream image.
