FlexCase E/G

Prerequisites (Windows)

• Ensure you have a PCAN-USB device, and that the device drivers are installed.
• Ensure you have bootloader software loaded on your hardware. Please contact us if you are unsure of your bootloader status.
• Download the latest FlexCaseFlash archive from the software page, extract the archive, and run setup.exe to install the flasher.

Install Simulink Library

• Download the latest Simulink Library from the software page

• Open installAudesseToolbox.m in MATLAB

• Run script and make sure you get confirmation that the installation has completed

• Close MATLAB

Set Up Sample File

• Copy NVM_k3.slx from audesse_blocks_[version#]/sample_models to new folder
• (Optional) Copy flxflashconfig from C:Program Files/FlexCaseFlash/resources/flashconfigs/k344 to same folder

• Open Simulink file in MATLAB and make sure the configuration files are generated (can take several minutes depending on how powerful your computer is)

• Ensure model opens correctly (note the EXT_Supply_EN) in the Dio block channel

Build and Flash

• Build model (ctrl+b in Simulink window) and make sure output files are generated, including the .bin and .elf files

• Open generated file, NVM_k3_calList.json, and note DID values and “UDS_APP_KEY” (app key)

• If other build files are generated but the JSON is not, there is likely an issue with your python installation. Fix your python installation by pressing ctrl+d in Simulink and noting the python error message. You should see the following message upon successful generation of the JSON file:

• Open FlexCaseFlash, click Open Project, and select the folder containing the flxflashconfig file (C:Program Files/FlexCaseFlash/resources/flashconfigs/k344 or the new folder you created, if you copied it)

• Select Open under Flash Over CAN

• Change binary to NVM_k3.bin and change bootloader key accordingly (bootloader key is different than app key)

• Press Start Sequence to flash binary

Test Calibrations

• Wire an LED or a noticeable indicator to an external supply (5V or VBATT, FCE pins shown for reference)

• Click Open under Calibrate Over CAN

• Make sure app key matches “UDS_APP_KEY” in NVM_k3_calList.json

• Change DID 0xCF00 to 2.0 (period of external supply toggle), and click Start Sequence

• Make sure the Read DID printout shows the value of 0xCF00 changed to 2.0

• Change DID 0xCF01 (duty cycle) to 0.5, and note that the LED/indicator should toggle on/off every second

• Change duty cycle or period and note changes in the speed or on time of the indicator

• Power cycle the FlexCase and ensure that the last period and duty cycle were maintained over the power cycle
