How do I configure and load the STNRGPF01?

Helo,

I have recently bought a STEVAL-IPFC01P1, to evaluate de STNRGPF01 controller.

Besides some issues with the power stage, I still wonder how can I configure the hex code into the chip.

In the datasheet it is mentioned that it is needed a STNRG Loader along with the eDesign suite.

Is there a manual or webpage with detailed steps to configure this device? I mean, what hardware conection is necesary, where to download the Loader, and whether there is an eDesign suite downloadable to work offline with the STNRGPF01.

If I wanted to design a new power converter I see no way to configure and load the divice yet. I have looked for information in the ST web, but there is no clear enough information.

Now I have found the STSW-STNRGPF01

http://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stsw-stnrgpf01.html#design-scroll

, but I cannot see where it is located to run it online nor download it.

It is said to be be the tool to program the device.

Is there someone that has used this tool already?

Dear Mr Gonzalo,

Let me thank you for your interest on ST products and for reporting this unfortunate inconvenience.

We have just published a new blog post (

https://community.st.com/community/edesignsuite/blog/2017/11/29/stnrgpf01-programming-tool?sr=search&searchId=d9d9b2bd-8b71-4097-9261-0a13b5a8c862&searchIndex=0

) that explains in detail how to proceed for uploading the firmware generated by eDesignSuite within the STNRGPF01 device.

Moreover, within this community, it was made available for downloading the STNRGPF01 firmware programming utility software you are looking for

With Best Regards,

Carmelo

Dear Carmelo,

Thank you for the answer. I will have to fix the damaged devices before being able to test the programming though.

I still have a difficulty: is there available the .hex that is originally loaded into the STNRGPF01 in the EVAL IPFC01V1?

My situation is almost the same.

Another question: what is the FTDI model I need to use?
