     Note

     • Make sure the program path in the Command text box corresponds to where you installed the download utility.
2. Connect and Configure
   • You must adjust the COM number according to your PC configuration.
   • The jumpers on the MCB2400 Board must be configured for Flash Magic:
     • J30 & J31 to LEFT
     • J33 = ON
3. Download to Flash

   Click the Download to Flash button or use the µVision command Flash — Download to download the application program into the MCB2400 device.
