JTAG, SPI, and I²C In-System-Programming

ScanExpress Programmer features support for the most popular in-system programming interfaces and components. Utilizing a high-performance Corelis JTAG controller along with user-friendly and intuitive Windows-based software, ScanExpress Programmer offers fast and convenient erase, program, verify, and read capabilities for all supported programming modules.

Target Assisted Flash Programming (TAFP)

The Target Assisted Flash Programmer module takes advantage of a JTAG embedded CPU on a target board to shorten the Flash memory programming time and simplify the operation of Flash programming. Users can perform all the standard Flash programming functions such as erase, blank check, program, verify, obtain device ID, etc, but at real CPU processing speeds. When programming times are of utmost importance, TAFP is the solution of choice.

The Target Assisted Flash Programmer module has the ability to test the JTAG connection, test the RAM, check the Flash device ID, erase the Flash device, perform a blank check, download Flash data to RAM, program the Flash device, and verify the Flash data all with a single mouse click. The Target Assisted Flash Programmer module relies on using a supported JTAG compatible CPU device on the target in order to accomplish the Flash programming operation. Please contact Corelis for CPU devices currently supported.

ScanExpress Programmer Modules

ScanExpress JTAG Programmer features four unique programming modules: JTAG Programmer, SPI Programmer, I²C Programmer, and Target Assisted Flash (TAF) Programmer. See Ordering Information for module licensing options.

The JTAG Programmer module is a flexible JTAG/boundary-scan programmer capable of programming Flash memory and serial EEPROM devices connected to boundary-scan components. Boundary-scan Flash programming files are generated by the ScanExpress Flash Generator™ software (sold separately).

The JTAG programmer can also program CPLDs, FPGAs, and other JTAG in-system programmable devices. Concurrent programming for up to four boards on supported Corelis JTAG controllers is included for increased throughput.

The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C) Programmer modules offer fast programming of SPI devices and convenient programming of I²C memory devices by controlling the serial bus signals directly through dedicated SPI and I²C interface available on supported Corelis boundary-scan controllers.

The Target Assisted Flash Programmer (TAF) module utilizes Corelis’ JTAG Embedded Test (JET) technology to take control of the system CPU for the fastest possible ISP performance with Flash memory devices.
