3.2 Patch and Configuration files

Firmware of the device can be updated using a Patch file (a binary file in .memh format). The latest version of the

Patch can be found on this [ST website]. Updating the firmware is not required but may improve performance of

the board.

The device can be configured using a Configuration file, a binary file containing settings of all registers, which can

be found in the GUI. The GUI can also be used to generate a custom Configuration file, making it easier to quickly

change configuration of the board and/or transfer the configuration to another board.
