Specialising in devices like ISP programmers, we are the ones to call when a first class programming apparatus is required.
The good thing about Flash Memory is that it’s both available and affordable for 8-bit embedded set ups. Adding MCU-controlled in-system programmability though can be a complicated matter. Because the flash cannot be accessed whilst write/erase functions are taking place, In-System-Programming, or ISP, needs an additional memory array, where the MCU can be implemented as ISP occurs. The best part about this is that there are a number of choices, including flash gadgets and external NVM, which can rectify the issue.
On the other hand, should 8051-type architecture be utilised, further complications shall manifest because these microcontrollers won’t write to programme room. As a result, ISP updates of the firmware will not be permitted to happen.
One can overcome those challenges by writing firmware that is able to switch memory locations. Another is by making use of an extremely integrated flash memory that possesses the ability to consolidate memory mapping, as well as encoding. This can handle the necessary actions automatically.
These days there are multitudes of microcontrollers that can accommodate flash memory on the MCU. The result of this is a well-integrated ISP solution.
At Kanda the In-System-Programmers that we stock permit a considerable collection of mechanisms to be programmed in either a system or circuit. As opposed to other methods, our products allow for an easier time when it comes to field updates and production.
We understand that our merchandise can seem somewhat complex, so if there’s something you can’t quite get to grips with, let us know and we will help you. This includes advice about which ISP programmers will be best for your needs.
