Target Assisted Flash Programming

  Download Datasheets
 

The optional Target Assisted Flash Programmer is an in-system programming tool for programming flash memory devices.  It is used by hardware and software engineers to program data into onboard memories, even when these devices are soldered to the board and cannot be physically removed (for off-board programming). In-system programming is done quickly and efficiently and with its intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) the user can easily perform various programming functions at a click of a button.

The Target Assisted Flash Programmer takes advantage of the embedded CPU on the target board to shorten the Flash memory programming time and greatly simplify the operation of flash programming. With the Target Assisted Flash Programmer, the user can perform a complete spectrum of flash programming functions such as erase, blank check, program, verify, obtain device ID, etc. All of these functions can be performed while the device is installed in-circuit.

The main window, provides the user with easy access to the major flash programming operations. In addition to selecting the Flash Data File, optional command Files can also be selected from the main window. These optional Command script files allow the user to initialize the target CPU, RAM, and on board resources prior to issuing Flash programming commands. An example of using this feature would be to initialize an on-chip SDRAM controller prior to programming the Flash memory.
