Production in-system programmer supports NXP LPC (ARM7) devices
(Product News, 05 Jun 2007 )
The universal, standalone in-system programmer specifically designed for the production environment (FlashRunner) now fully supports NXP LPC devices.
FlashRunner is a high-performance, standalone in-system programmer specific for Flash-based microcontrollers and serial memories. FlashRunner is targeted at production environments, easily integrates into your programming system or Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), and can work either in full standalone mode or controlled by a host system.
FlashRunner boasts programming algorithms that are as fast as target device's memory technology limit. In addition, it offers the flexibility to support a full range of current and future NXP microcontrollers. It currently offers programming support for the full range of LPC2000 devices. The 16-/32-bit LPC2000 family is based on a 1.8V ARM7TDMI-S core operating at up to 60MHz together with a wide range of peripherals. These controllers are designed for use in a range of applications including industrial control, automotive, medical, connectivity and any other general purpose embedded application requiring high performance and low power consumption in a cost-effective package.
FlashRunner can function autonomously in standalone mode on a production line using scripts stored on its SD card. In addition, it offers both serial and Ethernet connectivity for host system connection and comes with a Windows utility that allows you to communicate with the instrument and send programming commands, manage SD card files or update the instrument's firmware.
