Programming Vinco
When Vinco has been connected to the LCD panel and the firmware has been built in the IDE, the next
step is to transfer the .ROM file generated by the IDE to the Vinco module. The IDE generates the .ROM
file with a single button click of the “Build” button.
Connect the USB port of the VNC2 Debug Module to a PC and load the free FTDI drivers for the FT232R
device on the debug module. This will happen automatically via Windows Update if you are connected to
their internet. Otherwise refer to the installation guide for your OS:

The IDE should now automatically detect the VNC2 debug module.
Connect the other end of the VNC2 Debug Module to the J8 connector of the Vinco.
Use the IDE FLASH button to load the .ROM file into the Vinco. A getting started guide for using the
Vinculum IDE may be downloaded from:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/AppNotes/AN_142_Vinculum-
II_Tool_Chain_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf
The IDE will report back a successful programming. At this point the VNC2 Debug module may be
removed from the Vinco J8 connector.
The .rom file can also be downloaded from the following location:
