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 settings and automated test environments (ATEs) where space is limited and direct integration with automated machinery critical. 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

Web interface

Flasher ATE2 uses the same intuitive web interface as Flasher Hub-12 and Flasher Hub-4. Accessible via Ethernet or USB, the interface ensures that configuration and operation of a Flasher ATE2 device are completely independent of the host system through which it is operated.

U-Flash

U-Flash is a programming tool designed around minimal setup and configuration requirements, efficiency, and ease of use. It simplifies workflows by enabling rapid deployment through user friendly guidance.

J-Flash

J-Flash is a comprehensive, versatile tool for programming flash memory on MCUs and external flash devices. It is ideal for complex production environments that require high configurability and control.

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.
