Overview

SEGGER Flashers are a family of professional in-circuit programmers, designed to be used in service environments, prototype programming, and for mass production. They  program the flash (non-volatile) memory of microcontrollers and Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) as well as (Q)SPI flashes.

Flashers work with a PC or in stand-alone mode, connect via USB and/or Ethernet (Flasher PRO, Flasher PRO XL, Flasher Portable PLUS and Flasher ARM), and are multi-platform for Linux, macOS and Windows.

Flashers PRO, Compact, and ARM, have a standard internal memory of 128 megabytes to store firmware images and programming configurations. They are designed to handle any flash programming requirements. Where larger images need to be programmed, the Flasher PRO XL comes into play. With its huge memory capacity, it can also program target systems running large footprint OSes such as Android, Linux, Windows IoT. For integration into space-limited production environments, like production rigs or automated test equipment (ATE), the Flasher Compact is ideal.

Key features

  • Includes software and firmware updates
  • Includes use on all supported target devices
  • No additional licenses required. No hidden costs. No future costs.

Supported devices

SEGGER Flashers support writing to a wide range of flash memories using either the programming interface or the debug interface of the CPU.

  • List of supported manufacturers, families and devices

The list is always valid for the latest version (highest version number) of the software. This may be a release (even version number) or a beta version (odd version number) since support for some devices is usually added in a beta phase first.

Note that a device may still be supported even if it is not on the list. Device not listed? Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
