1 Software requirements
PMU25194-AA Release
M110-SUV upgrade binaries shall be uploaded to the module using SpringCoreFlash, which is part of the SpringCoreTools suite (https://www.springcard.com/en/download/find/file/sq20029).
This tool is currently only available for the Microsoft Windows (intel) platform.
Please note that SpringCoreFlash is not able to define if an upgrade of the module is required or not and will overwrite any previously flashed firmware.
Note: VBUS has priority over UART on /RESET when /FLASH is asserted.

2 Board pinout
PMU25194-AA Release
(1) UART interface connector. (2) USB connector. (3) Flash (DFU) switch (/FLASH is asserted when the switch is on connector (2) side. /FLASH is only
probed by the bootloader on /RESET. (4) Reset button (5) External antenna connector (remove both (6) to use). (6) On-board antenna (do not use (5) if populated).

3 USB mode
PMU25194-AA Release
The M110-SUV will start in USB mode if it is hooked to a computer using connector (2). A serial interface could be plugged on connector (1) but will not be used at all in this case.
Depending on the product’s configuration, the product may be seen as: – An USB-HID keyboard (aka SmartReader mode) – A WinUSB device for debugging/reconfiguration purposes
3.1 USB-HID keyboard emulation
The purpose of this mode is to quickly and easily read tags without the need to install any specific software on the computer. In this mode, the M110-SUV acts as an USB keyboard, will probe for all known tag types and type the result on the test computer. The firmware can output results in different format, using different keymaps. The default settings are:
– String mode – French keymap
3.2 Output format
3.2.1 String output
This is the default mode.
You can switch to this mode using the following command (a product reset is required to apply the new setting): SpringCoreControl.exe 8202A762

PMU25194-AA Release
3.2.2 Full debug output
You can switch to this mode using the following command (a product reset is required to apply the new setting): SpringCoreControl.exe 8202A7A2
3.2.3 Hexadecimal output
You can switch to this mode using the following command (a product reset is required to apply the new setting): SpringCoreControl.exe 8202A722

PMU25194-AA Release
3.3 Default card type selection
The default configuration (at startup) enables all well-known card technologies. You can modify this setting using the following command: SpringCoreControl.exe 8202CCxxxxxxxx
Where xxxxxxxx is a bitfield representation of the card technologies to read:
Bit 0 1 2 3 4-8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19-20 21 22-31
Casi-Rusco HITAG-1 HITAG-2 EM4x50 0 (unused) HID-Prox 0 (unused) Cotag ioProx Indala NexWatch AWID G-Prox Pyramid Keri 0 (unused) Nedap 0 (unused)
Description
Example, enable G-Prox and ioProx (a product reset is required to apply the new setting): SpringCoreControl.exe 8202CC00010200

4 UART mode
PMU25194-AA Release
The M110-SUV will start in UART (STid UART mode) mode if only a serial interface is plugged in connector (1). Defaults UART settings are 9600/8N1.
Please note that the current development firmware polls for tag all the time, regardless of the use of the searchTag command.

5 Firmware upgrade over UART
PMU25194-AA Release
Set the M110-SUV to operate over UART using connector (1). Assert /FLASH by placing switch (3) on the connector (2) side then press button (4).
SpringCoreFlash.exe -f firmware_upgrade_file.bin –serial=COMxx
Please note that the bootloader will try to start the newly uploaded firmware at the end of the flash operation (regardless of the /FLASH pin’s level). Do not forget to reset switch (3) to its default position.

6 Firmware upgrade over USB
PMU25194-AA Release
Set the M110-SUV to operate over USB using connector (2). Assert /FLASH by placing switch (3) on the connector (2) side then press button (4).
The device shall be detected as a SpringCard-DFU device when in DFU mode:
SpringCoreFlash.exe -f firmware_upgrade_file.bin
Please note that the bootloader will try to start the newly uploaded firmware at the end of the flash operation (regardless of the /FLASH pin’s level). Do not forget to reset switch (3) to its default position.
