P&E’s product line of Cyclone stand-alone
programmers
provides a fast, robust, and automated solution for production-scale
programming of microprocessors. However, production facilities may
desire an
even higher level of automation than the single-button touch capability
that is
offered by the Cyclone. P&E offers several means of automating
control, including a command-line executable, UDP/Serial
communications, or the .DLL included in P&E's new Cyclone Automated
Control Software Package. In this article, we discuss automated control
using the automated control package and the unprecedented level of
power and flexibility that
it offers.
ICDPPCNEXUS, P&E’s in-circuit debugger for the MPC55xx/MPC56xx
processors, uses reset scripts to properly initialize the device when
it comes out of reset. In this post we discuss why these reset scripts are necessary and also analyze the contents of these scripts in detail. Click through for more.
Did you know you can safeguard data while erasing your flash module
during Flash/EEPROM programming? P&E has added a “preserve range” function
that can be used in a programming algorithm to preserve memory
ranges. The function looks at the range to be preserved, saves it, and
restores it after the flash has been erased. Click through to see how to take advantage of this new feature.
