emLoad: program updates in embedded applications
| General Info | Technical Info | Updater Software |
emLoad is a software for program updates for embedded applications via serial interface from a PC. The software consists of a Windows program and a program for the target application (bootloader) in source code form.
An increasing number of embedded applications uses in-circuit reprogrammable memory chips. These chips can be dedicated EEPROM or FLASH-memory chips or microcontroller with on-chip FLASH-memory. The advantage of this technology compared to the old generation of on-time programmable or mask programmed chips is obvious: The application can be reprogrammed at any time, i.e. after assembly of the hardware or even after shipment at customers site in case of a bug or new features. The only things required are an embedded application with a FLASH-type memory for program storage, a communications interface (typ. RS-232) and the software for application and PC: emload.
