We have the CYBT-343026-EVAL evaluation board and I am trying to program the SPI flash internal to the module using the UART interface from my custom software. The document "WICED-HCI-Control-Protocol.pdf" in section 2.5 has some information about how to download into the serial flash but does not have details about the minidriver. When I look at the download log generated by using the download feature of the Wiced Studio 6.0, ChipLoad first downloads a UART minidriver and then sends a WICED flash erase command before downloading the application *.HEX file.
Do I need to follow the method of ChipLoad to download the UART minidriver and erase the SPI flash before downloading a *.HEX file?
The source code for client_control is available but this example only downloads a direct *.HCD image. Is the source code available from ChipLoad showing how to load a *.HEX file to SPI flash?

The sequence we described in the previous reply works on the Cypress CYW920706WCDEVAL Evaluation Kit but not with the CYBT-343026-EVAL evaluation board. For the CYW920706WCDEVAL eval board we did not have to download the Mini-Driver but for the CYBT-343026-01 module we found we had to download the Mini-Driver. The Mini-Driver file for the CYBT-343026-01 module can be found in the Wiced Studio folder "Wiced-Studio-6.1\20706-A2_Bluetooth\platforms\CYBT_343026_EVAL\uart.hex" after you install the CYBT-343026-01 platform files.
We are currently using the following steps to program the CYBT-343026-01. These steps are described in the document "WICED-HCI-Control-Protocol.pdf" section 2.5.
Setup the CYBT-343026-01 module in code download mode
1) Host computer sets UART_CTS inactive (high) and sets baud rate = 115200
2) Host computer drives signal SPI2_MOSI driven low (we added a FET in parallel with SW2 to drive this signal low)
3) Pulse XRES low then high
4) Disable the FET signal driving SPI2_MOSI low
The host computer then sends the following command:
1) HCI_RESET: 01 03 0C 00
2) DOWNLOAD_MINIDRIVER: 01 2E FC 00
3) Parse uart.hex and send WRITE_RAM: 01 4C FC nn xx xx xx xx yy yy yy yy ....
4) LAUNCH_RAM to Address 0x000D0200: 01 4E FC 04 00 02 0D 00
where 0x000D0200 is the first download address in the uart.hex file
5) CHIP_ERASE: 01 CE FF 04 00 00 00 FF
6) Parse wiced_app.hex file and send WRITE_RAM: 01 4C FC nn xx xx xx xx yy yy yy yy ....
7) LAUNCH_RAM to Address 0x00000000: 01 4E FC 04 00 00 00 00

We were able to successfully program a *.HEX file the SPI flash over the UART interface without loading the UART minidriver using the follow commands:
1) HCI_RESET: 01 03 0C 00
2) DOWNLOAD_MINIDRIVER: 01 2E FC 00
3) CHIP_ERASE: 01 CE FF 04 00 00 00 FF
4) Parse *.HEX file and send WRITE_RAM: 01 4C FC nn xx xx xx xx yy yy yy yy ....
5) LAUNCH_RAM to Address 0x00000000: 01 4E FC 04 00 00 00 00
