# Alternative flashing methods
### Via Arduino/ESP8266
Flashing firmware via Arduino is implemented using the project https://github.com/wavesoft/CCLib
**But with minor improvements!!!**
[AndrewLinden](https://github.com/AndrewLinden) described that he was able to flash CC2531 using CCLib [with comments](https://github.com/wavesoft/CCLib/issues/19).
As described [I made a fork of the CCLib library with minor changes](https://github.com/kirovilya/CCLib) for flashing firmware via Arduino:
* Timeouts of operations
* After opening the port (I have in Windows 7) Arduino reboots and, accordingly, does not respond to requests - made a 3 seconds pause (found somewhere in internet).
* The port speed is reduced to 9600, because at another speed leaving communication errors:
`ERROR: Could not read from the serial port!`
Flashing proccess:
1. Download and unpack the archive with the library https://github.com/kirovilya/CCLib.
2. Flashing Arduino sketch via Arduino IDE
CCLib\Arduino\CCLib\Examples\CCLib_proxy\CCLib_proxy.ino
**If flashing via esp8266 (wemos d1 mini), you need change connection (p. 5) and Pinout configuration in Arduino/CCLib/Examples/CCLib_proxy/CCLib_proxy.ino:**
```
int CC_RST = 5;
int CC_DC = 4;
int CC_DD_I = 14;
int CC_DD_O = 12;
```
3. Install Python 2.7 or later (tested with python 2.7.13), if not installed
4. Install pyserial 3.0.1, if not installed
`pip install -r CCLib\Python\requirements.txt`
or
`pip install pyserial==3.0.1`
5. Connect the contacts as described https://github.com/kirovilya/CCLib#1-prepare-your-arduino-board
**But in my case, I connected completely without resistors, combined the contacts CC_DD_I and CC_DD_O together and connected to the DD pin of the DEBUG connector!**

I connected only 3 specified contacts and GND. During the firmware, the stick and Arduino must be connected to the USB.

6. After that, try to get information about the chip - if it works, then the connection is correct (example for COM9 port - Arduino port):
```
C:\Projects\CCLib\Python>python cc_info.py -p COM9
INFO: Found a CC2531 chip on COM9
Chip information:
Chip ID : 0xb524
Flash size : 256 Kb
Page size : 2 Kb
SRAM size : 8 Kb
USB : Yes
Device information:
IEEE Address : 00124b0014aa
PC : 0000
Debug status:
[ ] CHIP_ERASE_BUSY
[ ] PCON_IDLE
[X] CPU_HALTED
[ ] PM_ACTIVE
[ ] HALT_STATUS
[ ] DEBUG_LOCKED
[X] OSCILLATOR_STABLE
[ ] STACK_OVERFLOW
Debug config:
[ ] SOFT_POWER_MODE
[ ] TIMERS_OFF
[X] DMA_PAUSE
[X] TIMER_SUSPEND
```
[Another example of connection on MacOS](https://github.com/wavesoft/CCLib/issues/22#issuecomment-384452424)
7. If everything is successful, then download [modified firmware for flashing via Arduino](https://github.com/kirovilya/files/blob/master/CC2531ZNP-Pro-Secure_LinkKeyJoin_mod.hex)
8. Start the flashing firmware (it takes a long time, about 2-3 hours):
```
C:\Projects\ZigBee>python cc_write_flash.py -e -p COM9 --in=CC2531ZNP-Pro-Secure_LinkKeyJoin_mod.hex
INFO: Found a CC2531 chip on COM9
Chip information:
Chip ID : 0xb524
Flash size : 256 Kb
Page size : 2 Kb
SRAM size : 8 Kb
USB : Yes
Sections in CC2531ZNP-Pro-Secure_LinkKeyJoin_mod.hex:
Addr. Size
-------- -------------
0x0000 8176 B
0x1ff6 10 B
0x3fff0 1 B
0x2000 239616 B
This is going to ERASE and REPROGRAM the chip. Are you sure? <y/N>: y
Flashing:
