In the search type' Device manager ' and open it. Click on the small arrow next to either 'Bluetooth' or 'Universal Serial Bus controllers'. Right click on 'CSR' and select Update Driver. Select' Browse my computer for driver update'. Select on bottom 'Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my Computer'. For CSR's BlueSuite (PSTool and BlueTest3), if the LPT-to-SPI driver was correctly installed, you should see 'LPTx', see below, when you click SPI BCCMD If 'LPTx' is not appeared, see below, there probably is something wrong with the driver during installation. One possible solution is to manually install the driver again.

This is USB SPI programmer and debugger for CSR BlueCore bluetooth chips, basedon FTDI FT232R USB to UART converter chip. Programmer hardware can be madeusing simple FT232RL breakout board, or built as a dedicated programmer usingincluded schematic. Programmer driver works by replacing USB SPI programmerdriver, usbspi.dll, in CSR applications and is currently ported to Linux/Wineand Windows.

CSR chips supported by programmer

Generally, all CSR BlueCore chips starting with BlueCore 2 should be supported.Programmer was tested with the following chips:

• BC417143 (on HC-05 module)
• BC57F687A
• CSR8645
• BC212015 (reported by Alex Nuc, see Chip notes)

Chip notes

• BlueCore chips require either 3.3V or 1.8V I/O voltage level. Check thedatasheet.
• Some chips (like CSR8645) share SPI pins with PCM function. For such chips tobe accessible via SPI, SPI_PCM# pin should be pulled up to I/O voltagesupply through a 10K resistor.
• On some chips SPI_DEBUG_EN (on BC6140) or SPI_PIO# (on CSR1010) pinshould be pulled up directly to I/O voltage supply to enable SPI port.
• BlueCore chips which integrate battery charger has charger configurationenabled by default. Such chip may shutdown shortly after power on if Youdon't connect charged battery. Battery charger configuration is defined inPSKEY_USR0 and can be changed using appropriate Configuration Tool orPSTool. See sample PSR files for disabling charger in misc/.
• BlueCore 2 chips (such as BC212015) are not supported in BlueSuite 2.4 andabove. It's also reported that to flash/dump these chips it's required tolower SPI speed. So for BC2 chips it's recommended to use BlueSuite 2.3 andset SPIMAXCLOCK=200option.

Programmer hardware

Programmer hardware is based on FT232R chip. It is possible that latergeneration FTDI chips, such as FT2232C/D/H or FT232H, will also work, but thiswas not tested.

Using FT232RL breakout board as a programmer

You can build a simple programmer using popular FT232RL breakout boards (searchEbay for FT232RL adapter for example). Pinout specified in spi.c file.Change it at will. Note that FTDI boards usually provide 5V or 3.3V I/O levelswhile CSR chips require 3.3V or 1.8V I/O level. You may supply appropriateVCCIO to FTDI chip or use logic level converter if levels don't match. Seedescription of VCCIO pin in FTDI chip datasheet for details.

This is a default pinout:

SPI and UART BlueCore pins could be connected directly to FTDI pins, but I'drecommend to wire them through the 220 Ohm (or so) resistors.

TX and RX connections are optional and provide connectivity to BlueCore UART.

LED connections are optional. Wire LED cathodes through the current limitingresistors (330 Ohm works fine) to the appropriate FTDIpins. Wire LED anodes to FTDI 3V3 pin.

Other pinouts can be specified with FTDI_PINOUTOption.

Don't power BlueCore chip from FT232R internal 3.3V regulator! It's currentdraw may exceed FT232R 50mA limit, which may cause communication errors.

Also see notes on Counterfeit FT232RL chips.

Dedicated programmer

KiCad schematic for a dedicated programmer can be found inhardware/ subdirectory.

Counterfeit FT232RL chips

Cheap (< $5) FT232RL modules usually contain counterfeit FT232RL chips(1,2,3). I'vegot such chip (this one has read-only EEPROM, S/N A50285BI, probably it's ageneration 2 counterfeit) andverified csr-spi-ftdi to work with it.

There is a known data loss issue with counterfeit FT232RL chip and ASM1042 USB3.0 controller. If You encounter it (You'll get an error on stderr, seeTroubleshooting), try to replug the programmer to othercontroller. Note that genuine FT232RL works fine with this controller.

Counterfeit IC also may produce some communication errors, but they areautomatically retried, so in general it works well enough.

Some versions of Windows FTDI driver tend to intentionallybrick1st generation counterfeit chips by setting their PID to 0x0000. Thereareunbrick(2) andprotectprocedures, but csr-spi-ftdi will work on the bricked chips too.

Software

CSR software

This driver is tested with CSR BlueSuite 2.1 - 2.6.0 and with CSR BlueLab 4.1,but should work with other CSR software, such as SDK, ADK, Configuration Tool,Parameter Manager. Newer versions of BlueSuite can be found athttps://www.csrsupport.com/PCSW. Older versions of BlueSuite can be found athttps://www.csrsupport.com/PCSWArchive. Access to these pages requiresregistration.

Installing prebuilt drivers

Prebuilt drivers for Linux and Windows can be downloaded fromhttps://github.com/lorf/csr-spi-ftdi/releases.

Installing on Ubuntu/Debian Linux

Install Wine:

Install CSR BlueSuite in Wine. Find all instances of usbspi.dll installed andmove them out of the way:

Copy usbspi.dll.so to Wine system directory:

Alternately You can specify location of the .dll.so file in WINEDLLPATHenvironment variable, see wine(1) man page for details.

Csr Usb Spi Drivers

Allow yourself access to FTDI device

After that You'll need to add yourself to plugdev group and relogin.

Installing on Windows

1. Install CSR package such as BlueSuite;
2. Make a backup of usbspi.dll in your application directory (e.g. inC:Program Files (x86)CSRBlueSuite 2.6.0);
3. Copy lib-win32/usbspi.dll to your application directory;
4. Connect Your FTDI device to computer;
5. Download and run Zadig from http://zadig.akeo.ie/. In Options menu chooseList all devices, choose Your FTDI device (FT232R USB UART or similar),choose libusbK driver, press Replace driver or Install driver. Thiswill install generic libusb-compatible driver for your FTDI chip. There is atutorial on running libftdi programs on Windows here:http://embedded-funk.net/running-libftdi-under-windows/;
6. Run your CSR apps.

Using the driver

Choosing USB transport

Older BlueSuite defaults to use CSR SPI LPT programmer, to use csr-spi-ftdi Youneed to select USB SPI transport. Use -TRANS 'SPITRANS=USB SPIPORT=1' optionfor command line tools. Importmisc/spi-set-usb-transport.reg to change thedefault.

Options

Csr-spi-ftdi driver supports several options that can be set as environmentvariables or using the -TRANS option to most CSR commandline apps.

• SPIMAXCLOCK - Maximum SPI clock frequency in kHz, default is 1000.Practical values range from 20 to 2000. CSR app may slow SPI clock down whenread or write verification fails. Some commands are always executed at 20kHz.
• FTDI_LOG_LEVEL - sets csr-spi-ftdi log level, available log levels:quiet, err, warn, info, debug. Adding a ,dump option provides hexdumps of transferred data. Example: FTDI_LOG_LEVEL=info,dump. Default:warn.
• FTDI_LOG_FILE - specify log file name. Can be set to stdout to log tostandard output, or to stderr to log to standard error stream. Default:stderr.
• FTDI_INTERFACE (since version 0.5.1) - specify interface on multi-interfacechips (FT2232, FT4232). Default: A.
• FTDI_PINOUT (since version 0.5.2) - specify a pinout. Available pinouts:
  • default - default pinout as described in Using FT232RL breakout board asa programmer.
  • noleds - this is the same as default but without LEDs.
  • hwspi - pinout for use with MPSSE chips (FT2232, FT4232, FT232H), usesthe same pins as hardware SPI. Note that hardware SPI capability is notused, just the same pinout is used for convenience. This pinout can be usedwith adapters like TIAOTUMPA.The pinout is as follows: CS - DBUS3, CLK - DBUS0, MOSI -DBUS1, MISO - DBUS2.
  • hwspi+leds - this is the same as hwspi but adds read and write LEDs onDBUS4 and DBUS5 pins respectively.

For other options see misc/transport-options.md.

Communication speed

Reading or writing a 1 MB flash on HC-05 module takes about 60 seconds. DumpingHC-05 PS keys takes about 40 seconds.

Running csr-spi-ftdi in a virtual machine slows things down presumably due tolatency added by USB virtualization. E.g. running csr-spi-ftdi under VirtualBoxslows transactions down about 4x times.

Useful commands

These commands should be executed from directory where BlueSuite is installedor this directory should be in your PATH.

• Display chip ID, this is also a quick communication test:

• Display chip ID, firmware version and flash size:

• Save firmware backup (only for chips with flash, backup will include PSkeys):

This creates two files, csr-fw-backup.xpv and csr-fw-backup.xdv.

• Flash firmware from files csr-fw.xpv and csr-fw.xdv:

• Collect debug logs:

• Lower SPI speed 5 times:

• Save chip settings (PS Keys) backup into csr-pskeys.psr:

• Merge some settings from pskeys.psr to the chip:

• Backup whole EEPROM image to a file:

• Restore EEPROM contents from backup file:

Troubleshooting

• Decreasing SPI speed using SPIMAXCLOCKoption may help in caseof communication failures.
• Unable to start read (invalid control data) errors are usually harmless,since read attempts are retried. If You've got a pile of theese errors andprogrammer doesn't work - check connections, voltage levels, try to lower SPIconnection resistor values or connecting ~ 1nF capacitors in parallel withresistors. Decreasing SPI speed using SPIMAXCLOCKoption mayalso help.
• WARNING: Attempt %d to read sector %d warnings are also harmless if they arenot result in error.
• Couldn't find LPT port error means You use spilpt.dll driver instead ofusbspi.dll. Try importingmisc/spi-set-usb-transport.reg or adding-trans 'SPITRANS=USB SPIPORT=1' option on command line.
• Lost %d of %d bytes of data in transit or ERROR: Download Failed, Sector%d - probably an indication of counterfeit FT232RL plugged into ASM1042 USB3.0 controller. Try to replug into other controller. See Counterfeit FT232RLchips.

Bugs

• See Issues on github to listcurrent bug reports or to report a bug.
• Current implementation of 1.4 SPI API (used in BlueSuite starting from 2.4)is based on a wild guess and is just a wrapper around 1.3 functions. Itdoesn't support multiple programmers connected at the same time and maycontain other bugs.
