New In-Field Flash Programmer Flasher Portable

Adding to the widely popular SEGGER Production Flash Programming line, the Flasher family, SEGGER is proud to announce the availability of the Flasher Portable.

The Flasher Portable has been designed to fill the need of an extremely portable, production grade, Flash programmer used for in-field firmware updates. No need to be tethered to an outlet, it is powered by standard batteries.

The Flasher Portable can be loaded with multiple firmware images. The user interface allows the user to select the firmware image which shall be programmed with a simple press of a button. LEDs indicate which image is selected. Another button press starts the programming.

The ability to store multiple images provides the freedom to carry updates for different devices and/or different revisions for the same device inside one small box. The Flasher Portable barely exceeds the size of a smartphone.

Similar to Flasher ARM and Flasher RX, the Flasher Portable is an in-circuit-programmer based on the J-Link family of debug probes using the same ultra fast flash programming algorithms.

It supports targets based on ARM7/9/11, Cortex-A5/A8/A9, Cortex-M0/M1/M3/M4, Cortex-R4/R5, e200z0 (Power architecture) and Renesas RX610/RX621/RX62N/RX62T/RX630/RX631/RX63N CPUs.

“Flasher Portable unloads the burden of carrying heavy equipment like a laptop plus programmer and power supplies to in-the-field services. Serviceable devices which are difficult to reach can now be serviced with a light box and a simple interface”, says Ivo Geilenbruegge, Managing Director of SEGGER.
