BC127 firmware upgrade tool UART protocol

Hello all,
My BC127 in connected via UART interface to a local host, this host is also connected to “outside world” via USB2.0.
I wish to perform firmware upgrade using firmware upgrade tool, through the host USB virtual com port.
In other words, I need that the firmware upgrade tool can be connected to the BC127 via UART > MCU > USB > laptop + upgrade tool
Can someone from the support team send me the protocol between the BC127 and the upgrade tool?
Best regards,
Nir

Hi @nir76,

Based on your description, you’re currently using the BC127 with a custom board, is that correct?
Do you have a BC127 Discovery Board? If yes, please use the Melody DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade Tool) to update the firmware for the BC127.
Please refer to the ‘Setting up’ section on page 10 of the BC127 Melody Audio 7.x User Guide and the firmware update instructions at the following links:

Hi,
The final goal is to design a custom board. I do have an evaluation board but I use it only for development.
Can you please assist?

Hi,
There is no information regarding Melody DFU protocol in the above link.
Are you sierra employee? do you have access to the required information?
