4.2.3. Downloading the Example Firmware Image
The Si1142 Slider Demo Board installer package includes the firmware source code as well as a pre-built .HEX
image that can be downloaded directly into the board. The firmware source code and an example IDE project are
located in the default path C:\SiLabs\MCU\QuickSense_Studio\Kits\IRSlider2EK\Firmware\. The pre-built .HEX
image is located in the default path C:\SiLabs\MCU\QuickSense_Studio\Kits\IRSlider2EK\Firmware\Release\.
Follow the instructions below to update or refresh the .HEX image in the Si1142 Slider Demo Board:
1. Connect the Si1142 Slider Demo Board to the PC using a USB cable.
2. Launch the Silicon Labs IDE, and click on Options->Connection Options.
3. Select “USB Debug Adapter”, and then select the board from the list (it should show up as “TS” followed by a
4. Select “C2” as the debug interface, and press “OK”.
5. Connect to the board by pressing the “Connect” icon, or using the keyboard shortcut Alt+C.
6. Click on the “Download” icon, or use the keyboard shortcut Alt+D.
7. In the download dialog window, click “Browse”.
8. Change to Files of Type “Intel Hex (*.hex)” and then browse to select the file Si1142_Slider.hex in the default
9. Click “Open” then “Download”.
10.To run the new image, either press “Run” or “Disconnect” in the IDE.
Note: The IDE and the Performance Analysis Tool cannot connect to the Si1142 Slider Demo Board at the same time. Be cer-
