Hub programmes up to 24 Flasher Compacts
High speed ISP gang-programming for mass production can be achieved by Segger’s Flasher Hub which controls up to 24 Flasher Compact programmers serving as individual channels. Each channel can be configured to program a different device with a different firmware image.
All programming interfaces and flash memories supported by the connected Flasher Compacts can also be used and controlled via the Flasher Hub.
The Flasher Compact programmers mean that there is an extensive list of supported Flash memories and interfaces, says Segger, together with fast programming algorithms.
Setup of the hub only requires configuration and programming data once per channel using the supplied software and documentation package. The hub can be controlled either from a PC using Segger’s cross-platform J-Flash software, web browser or FTP client, or without a PC e.g. from automated test equipment (ATE) using TELNET, FTP, or HTTP. The number of available parallel channels in combination of the Flasher Hub with multiple Flasher Compacts allows for mass production as each product can be assigned individual serial numbers and patches such as MAC-addresses or licenses for individual features.
The USB connection between Flasher Hub and Flasher Compact enables the shortest possible distance between programming target and the Flasher Hub. The short distance increases signal quality and contributes to production throughput, says Segger.
Licenses for all programming algorithms are included.
Segger Microcontroller has over 28 years’ of experience in embedded computing systems, producing software libraries, and offering a full set of hardware tools (for development and production) and software tools.
Segger’s all-in-one solution emPower OS provides an RTOS plus a complete spectrum of software libraries including communication, security, data compression and storage, user interface software and more.
Segger’s professional software and tools for embedded system development are designed for simple usage and are optimised for the requirements imposed by resource-constrained embedded systems. The company also supports the entire development process with affordable, high-quality, flexible, easy-to-use tools.
The company was founded by Rolf Segger in 1992, is privately held. There is a US office in the Boston area and branch operations in Silicon Valley, Shanghai and the UK, with distributors on most continents.
