It is necessary to use the version of WHCI-based PDK Firmware that matches your version of the PDK hardware.

  • For WHCI PDK versions with a serial number TXP080124-xxx, TXP070420-xxx, use: Firmware Version: 1.2.44.0 (.exe format, 223 KB size)

Firmware Installation Instructions:

- Uninstall any previous versions of the PDK Firmware Update Tool.

- Download and install the current PDK Firmware Update Tool on the Windows XP based system that has the PDK inserted in a PCI slot.  It is not necessary to have Wireless USB drivers installed to use the firmware update tool. 

- Execute the Firmware Update Tool and follow instructions.

- Reboot the system after completing the Firmware Update.

- The Firmware Update Tool installer will place a shortcut on the desktop that can be used to update another PDK or re-install the firmware on the installed PDK.

 

Note that it is necessary to update the PDK Firmware with the PHY connected.  Changing PHY's after the Firmware is updated will cause operational errors.  If errors occur, repeat the firmware update procedure with the PHY connected.  Using a PHY other than the one supplied with the PDK is not supported and may cause errors.
