PROG Flash Programming Software : Flash/EEPROM programming software. Includes interactive and scripted programming.

Overview

PEmicro's PROG flash programming software allows the user to program/reprogram external flash devices in-circuit, via one of PEmicro's compatible hardware debug probes. The debug probe connects the USB port of the PC to the target header. The programming software can then talk to the target processor via debug mode.

PROG software includes a fully interactive programmer and also a command-line executable called CPROG for scripted programming.

PROG: USB Connection To Target via PEmicro Multilink

Hardware License

The license that activates PROG will reside on a Multilink debug probe. 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.

Supported Devices

There is a variety of PROG software available; each version supports a different MCU architecture. To see if the device you are interested in is supported, please view the corresponding programming algorithm list. PROG will include this library of algorithms.

Easy to Set Up and Use

Connection Manager

The Connection Manager allows easy debug configuration and connection to the target via the debug probe.

Connection Manager

Interactive Programming

Each PROG supports a different set of commands. These commands commonly include:

Program
Verify
Blank check
Upload
Display
Erase

and many more.

For interactive programming, supported commands are listed in the Choose Programming Function Window.

Programming Functions (PROGACMP)

Scripted Programming

There is also a CRPROG executable included which allows the user to create programming scripts to automate the programming process. A separate CPROG user manual details the procedure for scripted programming.

Serial Numbering

PROG/CPROG software also supports serial numbering via the Serialize Utility.

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
	When using the multilink with your software tools, I get an error $8882 when it attempts to firmware update every time. This setup used to work with older multilink but not with the new multilink. What is going on?
	I launched the command-line CPROGxx flash programmer, saw a window flicker up, and then disappear. How do I know what happened?
	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?
	Where and how do I get the latest version of PEmicro's software, algorithms, utilities, or plug-ins?
	How do I activate my PEmicro software?
	I (or my company) have purchased software as part of our order; how do I download this software?
	Why do I see the Power Dialog warning when trying to debug or flash program my chip in PROG, ICD, UNIT, or 3rd party software like Codewarrior? How can I prevent this from happening?
