Flasher ATE2
The single-board gang programmer
Flasher ATE2 is a robust single-board gang programmer with eight independent programming channels designed for high-volume automated production settings and automated test environments (ATEs).
Overview
Flasher ATE2 is a robust single-board gang programmer with eight independent programming channels. It is designed for high-volume, automated production environments, particularly those with limited space, such as automated test equipment (ATE), where direct integration with automated machinery is crucial. Flasher ATE2 is tailored to users who simultaneously program multiple target devices, making it an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking optimized workflows.
Key features
Flasher ATE2 integrates seamlessly into production workflows. As as result, setups are simplified, cabling complexity reduced, and consistentency in automated workflows supported. The use of the same ultra-fast, proven flash algorithms as found in J‑Link and Flasher devices ensures reliable device programming with minimized downtime and production errors.
Compact housing
Smaller than Flasher Hub-12, Flasher ATE2 offers eight independent programming channels, including programming circuits. With its single-board design, it can easily slide into nearly any space-constrained production and testing setup.
Single connector
Flasher ATE2 has a single backplane connector on the target side, making it an ideal solution for cassette systems. Connections for host communication and remote control (USB, Ethernet, RS232) are located on the front side, where they are easily accessible. Unlike products that rely on multiple ribbon or USB cables, Flasher ATE2 has a compact and efficient design that simplifies installation.
Easy migration
Based on the Flasher Hub ecosystem, Flasher ATE2 uses the same control and programming methods as Flasher Hub-12 and Flasher Hub-4 paired with Flasher Compacts. This allows for easy swapping between the systems, with no significant adjustments to software. The result? Reduced setup times across different production stages.
Use cases
The ability to handle multiple devices simultaneously, adapt to different hardware configurations, and communicate with ATE systems makes the Flasher ATE2 a critical component in modern, scalable production lines.
Flash programming in productive test systems
By embedding Flasher ATE2 directly into automated test equipment, manufacturers eliminate the need for separate manual programming steps, reducing cycle times and human error. Such integration ensures seamless synchronization with other testing and assembly operations, enabling high-throughput production lines and real-time quality control.
Gang programming in high-volume manufacturing
Flasher ATE2 ensures seamless operation with existing SEGGER programming tools. This means easy reconfiguration when switching between production batches and simultaneously flashing firmware onto (multiple) devices. Flasher ATE2 considerably reduces programming time per unit, meaning manufacturers achieve higher throughput, consistent programming quality, and reduced production costs. Accordingly, Flasher ATE2 is an essential tool for scalable electronics manufacturing.
How Flasher ATE2 works
Flasher ATE2 is a gang-programming solution that focuses on system compatibility via direct integration into production rigs or automated test equipment (ATE). With its single proprietary connector, Flasher ATE2 eliminates the need for multiple cables—simplifying integration and reducing setup complexity. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers and memory devices, enabling high-speed, reliable, and fully automated production programming.
Software
A multi-platform solution, Flasher ATE2 comes with SEGGER's Flasher Software and Documentation Package for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It provides the tools and resources necessary for configuring, managing, and using the Flasher ATE2 effectively. It also includes flash loaders for all supported devices, including a wide range of target microcontrollers. The list of supported manufacturers, families and devices, and SoCs provides a detailed overview.
The software package can be downloaded free of charge, and it includes future software and firmware updates as well as all new flash loaders for target devices added in the future.
Tool set
Additional features
The Flasher ATE2 comes equipped with a built-in web server and FTP server, adding powerful remote management capabilities to enhance efficiency, flexibility, and automation in production environments, ensuring smooth operation and minimal downtime.
Flasher ATE2's built-in web server (through emWeb) simplifies programming-system configuration and setup. It provides an intuitive interface for monitoring and configuring a programmer, allowing users to manage firmware images, access real-time status updates, and make adjustments remotely.
The Flasher ATE2 also includes a built-in FTP server for uploading firmware and configuring and downloading log files. It enables seamless file transfers and makes it easy to update firmware images and logs without direct physical access.

Assembly dimensions
Flasher ATE is designed to mount securely and unobtrusively into production rigs or ATE. The small size and four mounting holes enable placement of the Flasher ATE2 into existing space-constrained setups.
ATE connector
The ATE Connector provides all signals required for controlling a Flasher ATE2 remotely in an ATE setup.
Support
Flasher ATE2 comes with one year (12 months) of Basic Support. Beyond that, SEGGER's Extended Coverage gives users the option to extend the hardware warranty and Basic Support for one additional year (12 months) or two additional years (24 months). These options are only available at the time of purchase, either through the Web Shop or upon request; adding coverage at a later date is not possible.
