The LPC FW update can be easily done with the <Secondary FW> tab of the NFC
cockpit, as shown in Fig 13. The recommended LPC FW is located in: C:\nxp
\NxpNfcCockpit_v<VERSION>\firmware\Secondary_PN5180\

\Secondary_PN5180\
Figure 13. NFC Cockpit Secondary FW (LPC FW) update
After the LPC FW has been flashed, the connection must be reconnected (Close Port ->
Open Port): Follow the NFC Cockpit guidance.
3.2.2 Legacy 2: Update from previous version, ABEND driver installed
The LPC FW update is triggered automatically, when the NFC Cockpit is started the first
time, if the correct (old) ABEND drivers are installed. In such a case, the user simply
needs to accept the update and follow the NFC Cockpit guidance.
Note: These ABEND drivers are not used anymore for the operation of the NFC Cockpit,
except to update the LPC FW to a VCOM version.
3.2.3 First time use: Update from ABEND to VCOM
The LPC firmware as installed by default on the PNEV5180B 2.0 uses the ABEND
interface and is outdated. So, an LPC firmware update is required.
There are two options to update the LPC FW:
Option 1: Using the automatic update function of the NFC cockpit. This requires the
ABEND drivers to be installed!
Step 1: Install the ABEND driver (see 7.1).
Step 2: Update the LPC FW with NFC Cockpit (see 3.2.2).
Option 2: Using the mass storage mode of the LPC FW. No ABEND driver needs to be
installed. This is the recommended option.
