PEmicro's PROG for ARM® Cortex™ Processors flash programmer software allows you to program/reprogram external flash devices from many ARM device manufacturers in-circuit, via one of PEmicro's compatible hardware debug interfaces. The programmer talks to the processor's Background Debug Mode through a compatible hardware interface (sold separately), which connects the parallel port or USB port of a PC to a mini-10 or mini-20 pin JTAG connector on the target system. PROG for ARM Cortex processors also includes the command-line version of the programmer software CPROGACMP. Together they are perfect for development, production line programming, or field firmware upgrades. Licensing Update The license that activates PROG now resides on a Multilink debug probe rather than in the software itself. The user who activates the software will choose a Multilink on which to permanently install the license. The allows that Multilink to work with PROG on any machine where a supported version of the software is installed. No license is required to use PROG software with Cyclone programmers, as the Cyclone includes PROG software. Check our PROG Licensing blog post to see which Revisions of Multilink debug probe are supported. Note: The PROG software itself is unchanged, it is only the licensing which has been updated.
Supported Devices
PROG for ARM Cortex processors supports programming of ARM devices from several manufacturers. You may use our ARM resource page to check if your specific device is supported. The programmer comes with PEmicro's entire library of compatible programming algorithms, and we support programming of both internal and external (SPI) flash.
Features
PEmicro has a resource page describing different methodologies for programming target flash in both development and production environments:

Tips
Chip Select Diagnostics for External Flash
PEmicro supports both internal flash and flash connected to an MCU via the SPI, I2C, and Address/Data bus interfaces. Programming algorithms must make assumptions about how the flash is connected to the MCU, but if these assumptions are off, the "Chip Select Diagnostics Mode" in our PROG software can help the user determine what changes may need to be made to the programming algorithm to match their device setup. Read more about how to use Diagnostics mode:

| FAQs |
|
The connection assistant dialog indicates that my Multilink or Cyclone is undetected even though I have connected the hardware to my USB port. What should I do? |
|
How do I partition my FlexNVM on the Kinetis to have Data flash and EEPROM backup flash memory? (e.g. K10DX128, K20DX256, K60FX512) |
|
I cannot see PEmicro hardware interfaces under Windows 10 Anniversary addition, how do I update to latest PEmicro drivers? |
|
I am attempting to program external flash connected to my embedded processor. Either the erase, program, or show module does not work. What is the most likely source of this issue? |
|
How can I use CPROG to program dynamic data, such as a serial number, into my product where the number changes for each device I am programming? |
|
When I run the command-line programmer and its path has a space in it, or run the programmer with a configuration file whose file name has a space in it, I get an error:
Error - Invalid command line parameter. ERROR 43 during script!
How do I fix this problem? |
|
How do I activate my PEmicro software? |
|
I launched the command-line CPROGxx flash programmer, saw a window flicker up, and then disappear. How do I know what happened? |
|
I am interested in launching the CPROGxx command-line flash programmer from my own application, and reading the resultant error code. Is there some simple way to do this from a Windows based application? |
|
When I load the ICD debugger or PROG programme softwarer, my Firewall software tells me it is attempting to access the internet, Why? |
|
Can your programming software calculate and return a checksum? |
