Choosing parser

Set the wanted parser in the config.h

#define PARSER  INTELLIBOX  // LENZ: behave like a LI101
                            // INTELLIBOX: behave like a IBOX

Build

cd default
make

Flash

Before switching on OpenDCC press the STOP button and keep pressed. Instead of the normal mode of operation now a boot loader is started (recognizably by the continuousbright CTRL LED), which waits now for a new software from the PC. This software will be loaded to the internal non volatile memory of OpenDCC.
