module software
For information on supported firmware, see the documentation: Software for modules based on the TI CC2538 chip
Module firmware procedure
The cc2538-bsl utility can be used to flash the module (see Flashing TI CC2538/CC2652 Modules and Sticks Using the cc2538-bsl Utility )
Before flashing, the module must be switched to bootloader mode (serial bootloader). To do this, you need to reset the module by holding a low logic level at the input PA7 of the microcontroller (pin 20 of the module). The module is switched back to the operating mode when the module is turned on/rebooted at a high logic level at pin PA7 (pin 20 of the module).
This is true only for the firmware recommended for installation (see the "Module software" section).
