The update of the eZ430-Chronos wrist module needs to be done in two stages. First, the wireless update software needs to be written to the BSL area of the flash memory of the CC430. Afterwards, the main application must be loaded onto the wrist module. The easiest and fasted way is using BM innovations' Firmware Update Tool. It writes the wireless update software into the BSL memory of the wrist module and programs the corresponding demo firmware according to the latest eZ430-Chronos software release (recommended).
Alternatively, the wireless update software may be loaded onto the wrist module using the included IAR Embedded Workbench (free KickStart version is sufficient). Moreover, the .txt image may be written to the device by using 3rd party tools such as the free FET-Pro430 Lite software from Elprotronic.
