Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to provide instructions on using this tool as an alternative to
purchasing PowerVision to load the compiled file.
The Field Programming Kit (FPK) is a free Windows PC-based program that is used to update
software on PV300P, PV350, PV380, PV450, HVS450, PV780 and HVS780 displays using an
ECom CAN dongle or other supported RP1210B devices.
This program does not require PowerVision in order to perform software updates on a PV3xx
display.
You must have the compiled bootloader and/or application payload (*.gciBin file) that you
intend to upload.
The software is freely distributable.
