Tutorial

Installation of dependencies

This tutorial uses SOEM. If you are using Windows, install Npcap in WinPcap API-compatible Mode.

Setup devices

First, set up the devices. Here, we assume that only one AUTD3 is used. Connect the PC's Ethernet port and the AUTD3 device's EtherCAT In (Concept) with an Ethernet cable. Next, connect the power supply.

Firmware update

If the firmware is old, normal operation is not guaranteed. The firmware version in this document is assumed to be v10.0.1.

To update the firmware, you need a Windows 10/11 64bit PC with Vivado and J-Link Software installed.

Note: If you only want to update the firmware, we strongly recommend using "Vivado Lab Edition". The "Vivado ML Edition" requires more than 60 GB of disk space to install, while the "Vivado Lab Edition" requires only about 6 GB.

First, connect the AUTD3 device and the PC with XILINX Platform Cable and J-Link Plus with J-Link 9-Pin Cortex-M Adapter, and turn on the power of the AUTD3.

Cable connection for firmware update

Then, run autd_firmware_writer.ps1 in autd3-firmware on powershell.
