GLOG V2 Firmware Update 

Xloader:

 Windows application to update GLOG V2 firmware

PREPARATION:

- Download and install FTDI USB VCP driver from 

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

-

Download the latest version of the GLOG firmware (hex file) from 

http://www.geomatics.us/products/glog/

PROCEDURES: 

- 

Switch ON GLOG first*

- Connect GLOG to the computer via a USB cable; Windows will recognize GLOG and assigns it a 

COM port number (COM14 in the example) – make sure nothing is connected to the DB9 port 

- Run Xloader 
- Browse to the location of the ‘hex’ file and choose it 
- Choose “Uno(ATmega328)” from the ‘Device’ pull-down menu; the baud rate will be automatically populated with 115200 
- Under the ‘COM port’ pull-down menu, choose the Windows assigned COM port number  
- Click upload; a confirmation message shows up in the status bar after about 30 seconds*    
 

NOTES:  

-

Attempting to attach GLOG to the computer while it is switched OFF will result in a “Device Not Recognized” error!

-

If 60 seconds or more have elapsed without getting a confirmation message, detach and reattach GLOG and try again!
