WIZnet WizFi360
This chip for wireless and wired networking is found in both the F256Jr.2 and F256K2.
Updating the firmware
Note from Stef: apparently not all modules are updated equal (one thought that by buying the latest module would == Latest Firmware) but unfortunately it isn't the case.
1) Get a cable like this (USB to Serial Interface, DTECH 3ft 3.3V USB to TTL Serial Adapter Debug Cable TX RX Signal 4 Pin Female Socket PL2303 Prolific Chip Windows 10 8 7 XP Vista) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08G1JTN4N?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1
2) Connect the cable the following way:
- White Lead to the SP2 3 pins Header (RxD) (next to the CR2032 battery)
- Black Lead to the middle post (gnd)
- Green lead to the third pin (TxD)
-
The firmware updating pins near the CR2032 battery on the F256K2 (black revision) board
3) Download the latest firmware from here: https://github.com/wizfi/Release/tree/master/Binary
4) Download the wizfi360 manual from: https://github.com/Mu0n/F256MiscGoodies/tree/main/datasheets
5) Download Tera Term 5 from: https://github.com/TeraTermProject/teraterm/releases
6) Follow the instruction in the manual page (page 4 and on)
- Connect your cable,
- Short the J16 empty header footprint (remove after you see the CCCC appearing.
- Power On the unit
- Get Tera term going (set the baudrate to 115K) (you should see some 'CCCCC...')
- then do a Xmodem transfer with latest firmware, wait until it tells you that the module is ready...
