Overview
ARMFlash is a fast USB 2.0 In-Circuit Serial Programmer (ICSP) for NXP ARM microcontrollers.
Very fast, on-board USB 2.0 programmer with a simplified driver installation.
The programmer is specifically designed for In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP).
Description
When connected to a prototype device, the ARMflash programmer becomes an IN-SYSTEM programmer.
With ZIF socket, it becomes a standard programmer used for a large-scale production.
One of the possible ways of connecting ARMFlash to an MCU is via an IDC10 connector. Refer to figure on the right. You just have to place one 2x5 connector between the MCU and other on-board components. By embedding the ARMFlash connector you will be able to perform ARM In-System Programming.
USB 2.0 ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programmer)
The ICSP interface is a 3-wire serial protocol that uses MCU pins for programming. The first MCU pin is used as a data input pin. The second pin is used to send data from the programmer. The third pin is used to set an MCU to the programming mode. Connection between the programmer and a PC is established via a universal serial port. The ARMFlash programmer can work on all PCs with USB 2.0 support.
Windows® Certified Drivers
Drivers for the programmer are Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows® Vista and Windows® 7 certified. The Windows certificate is a proof that the programmer supports mentioned Windows operating systems and is immediately recognized by the system, which guarantees correct Plug and Play functionality. Driver certification provides users with a wide range of benefits such as stable functioning, the ability to install and delete drivers without rebooting and compatibility with future versions of Windows.
Supported Microcontrollers
The ARMFlash programmer supports a wide range of ARM (NXP LPC) microcontrollers. Newly released ARM MCUs will be supported by a new version of ARMFlash software that is updated regularly. Here is a list of all MCUs supported by this programmer:
