SEGGER Flash Programmers
For production environments, we provide flash programming solutions for a variety of CPUs.
Stand-Alone Programmer "Flasher"
The Flasher family eases the implementation into a production site by allowing the flash programming to be triggered manually or remotely.
Software Solutions for Flash Programming via J-Link
In addition to our hardware products, we offer software solutions that allow J-Link to be used as production tool. The available software packages are J-Flash:
- Stand-alone programming software for a variety of microcontrollers and external flashes.
- DFPU: Dedicated flash programming utilities for eval boards or custom hardware. NOR, NAND and SPI flashes can be supported, source code of utilities available.
- SDK: Software development kit. Allows writing your own program and gives you full control over J-Link and your target CPU.
Authorized Flashing
Authorized Flashing allows to limit the number of flash programming cycles and to protect the Flasher against non-authorized access in case of external production.
Current Flashers support the creation of what is called a secure area which allows to pre-configure the Flasher with a given setup and then give it to external production facilities etc. without the possibility to read out the Flasher contents via MSD, FILE I/O functionality (J-Link Commander) or RS232 commands.
Model Overview
Flasher ATE
Flasher ATE is perfectly suited for high volume mass production environments. The modular system uses a communication main board at its heart, that distributes the commands received from an ATE, ICT or a similar automated production handler system to the programming modules. Each programming module can be set up with individual configurations and firmware. Flasher ATE is capable to program multiple devices in parallel, whether these devices are equal or part of a multi-device system, Flasher ATE can handle all production setups.
Main Features
- Gang Programming
- In-System Programmer (ISP)
- Ultra-fast programming
- Control interfaces for ATEs and similar production process handlers
- Switchable target power
- J-Flash and built-in FTP server for an easy setup
- Scalable solution with up to 10 individual channels
- Parallel channels, no demultiplexing required
- Galvanic isolation of each module
- Target supply voltage may be up to 15V
Flasher Secure
Flasher Secure is a mass production programming system, capable of protecting the vendor’s IP regardless of the production site. It provides full control over the programming process at contract manufacturers (CM) and similar environments.
Main features
- Authenticated production with full visibility
- Production volume control
- CM administration and setup portal
- Ultra fast programming
- Supports Cortex-M/R/A, RX, PPC
- Prevents production of counterfeit units
- No overhead in programming time
- Secure your production at contract manufacturers
