Select the option “Update IntelliVAC base” which will pass

control to the IntelliVAC base module, which will then flash its

bootloader menu to the screen. Refer to the section Flashing

IntelliVAC Base using bootloader

Flashing IntelliVAC Base Module using Bootloader

Code can only be flashed to the IntelliVAC base module using the

RS-485 interface, and hyper terminal with any personal computer

with a usable serial port. There are two ways to display the

IntelliVAC base bootloader screen. The first is to select “Update

IntelliVAC base” from the IntelliVAC plus bootloader menu, and the

second is by using an IntelliVAC MC board with application disable

jumper set to program mode. When using an IntelliVAC MC board

to enter the bootloader screen any key on the PC keyboard must be

pressed within the first second after seeing the bootloader menu

appear otherwise the bootloader will perform its usual startup checks

and begin running application code.
