UPDATING FIRMWARE OF MAX32664 WITH LATEST .msbl file by maxim

Hello

my querry is does the pulse oximeter sensor board ( Sen-15219) comes with pre flashed .msbl file in MAX32664 or do we have to flash the application code on our own using our host microcontroller? If it comes with pre flashed application firmware then how can we update the firmware (.msbl file) on MAX32664 controller of sparkfun’s pulse oximeter sensor board?

Thanks and regards

Yes it does come with the “A” variation of the .msbl file which supports the MAX30101. You can see that here if you have any questions on that:

If you wanted to update the firmware, you would need there MAX32630FTHR board:

Unfortunately their firmware (.msbl files) is proprietary so that is the only method available =(. If you happen to have one of those or want to get one of those, then you hook up the I2C lines to the I2C lines on our product. Here’s a nice graphical datasheet that they provide (notice the I2C lines in the lower right hand side):

If I recall correctly, from there you would drag and drop the .msbl file into the drive that pops up when you plug the programmer into your computer (assuming you have windows).

Alright. Thanks for your help me doubt is cleared now

Thankyou wonder_boom

Alright, So does sparkfun upload version A of .msbl file on their own or does we have to upload it ourself?.

as according to maxim the MAX32664 comes with pre loaded bootloader and we have to upload the .msbl file on our own.

You don’t need to upload anything to the sensors, SparkFun ships them pre programmed and ready to use.

ok thankyou for the help
