Note: The (default) PNEV5180B still uses the ABEND interface – and therefore does not
show up like shown in Fig 11 in the first-time use! First time users please continue with
3.2.3.

3.2 PNEV5180B LPC Firmware
The LPC firmware as installed by default on the PNEV5180B 2.0 is outdated. So, an LPC
firmware update might be required.
Note: Do not mix up the LPC 1769 firmware (LPC FW or “Secondary FW”) with the
PN5180 FW. The LPC FW is required to “connect” the PN5180 to the NFC cockpit, while
the PN5180 FW is part of the PN5180 functionality and can only be updated via the
secure firmware update procedure.
It is strongly recommended to use the latest NFC Cockpit version (check [6]) in
combination with the latest LPC FW. The LPC FW is part of the NFC cockpit installation
package.
3.2.1 Legacy 1: Update from previous version, VCOM already installed & used
The PN5180B can be connected to the PC, and the NFC Cockpit can be started, if the
VCOM drivers had been installed and used before. The NFC Cockpit shows a warning, if
LPC FW or PN5180 FW or not up to date, as shown in Fig 12.
1. Example: LPC FW as well as PN5180 FW is not up to date
