If you would like to update your CC3000 to 1.26 follow these steps :
- Download this .bin file
- Put your WIFI dipcortex in to bootloader mode by holding the boot button while inserting a connected USB lead into the Wifi DipCortex
- Delete the firmware.bin from the mass storage device that appears
- Copy over the bin file you have just downloaded - NOTE : MAC and Linux users will have to use DD
- Reboot and connect to the CDC serial port using putty
- Issue the command "cc3000 delete" to delete all saved connection details
- Next "cc3000 init 1"
- Followed by "cc3000 readp" - this reads the cc3000 config saved to the module by TI including the MAC address. It should say "Successfully read CC3000 eeprom parameters" when successful. Make a note of your MAC address in case things go wrong
- To start the update "cc3000 patch now" - the screen will scroll as each chunk is written to the cc3000's eeprom
- After a few seconds it should report "Successfully patched the CC3000 Driver"
If a failure is reported, do not repower (The modules MAC address is held in RAM), type "cc3000 init 1" and then try "cc3000 patch now" again. - Type "status" and the module should report "Version : 1.26"
- Remove power, reconnect putty and then either use smart config by issuing the "cc3000 smart" command or manually connect using the "connect" command. Details here
- Once connected "ipconfig" will show the connection details
