Universal Programming Adaptor
The 4D-UPA (Universal Programmer Adaptor) is a universal programmer designed to work with multiple 4D Systems display modules.
- It has a 30 way FFC connector at the top of the module, for connecting to gen4-uLCD-xx display modules.
- On the opposite side is a 10 way FFC connector, for connecting to gen4-IoD-xx display modules.
- Located centrally in the larger rectangular outline, are pads associated with the gen4-uLCD-xx modules. These break out all the signals which come to/from the gen4-uLCD-xx modules.
- 5 of the above signals are the universal 4D RESET/GND/TX/RX/5V signals, these are located together to enable interfacing/programming of the uLCD and uOLED display modules, such as the uLCD-43DT and uOLED-128G2.
- The outer 2 sets of 6 holes are for mounting and programming the IoD-09TH display module. The IoD-09TH pads are slightly offset, enabling a simple ‘friction fit’ interface to the 4D-UPA, no soldering or headers are required – although headers can be added (not included) if required.
The 4D-UPA replaces the need for all current 4D programmers, such as the uUSB-PA5, gen4-PA, gen4-IoD-PA, and the 4D Programming Cable. The 4D-UPA features a microUSB jack, for connection to your PC. Cable is not included with the 4D-UPA or in our Starter Kits, this needs to be purchased seperately.
The 4D-UPA can be used for programming gen4 display modules, gen4-IoD display modules, IoD-09TH display modules, uLCD and uOLED display modules. It can also be used for interfacing to a breadboard for prototyping, or for interfacing to virtually any host.

How to determine which COM port is allocated to the 4D-UPA
- Go to Control panel and double click on the “System” Icon and the “System Properties” window will open up.
- Click on the “Hardware” window tab and then the “Device Manager” button.
- Go down the list and expand the “Ports (COM & LPT)” devices.
- There you will see the COM port that has been allocated for the 4D-UPA.
- Take note of the COM port number (e.g. COM4) as you will need this when configuring the COM port for applications that need to communicate with the 4D-UPA such as the Workshop4 IDE.
