Flash programmer uses JTAG or BDM
interface
The new BDIpro Flash programmer is a stand-alone device for high-speed memory programming via the JTAG/BDM interface.
The new BDIpro Flash programmer from Computer Solutions is a stand-alone device for high-speed memory programming via the JTAG/BDM interface It combines the hardware from Abatron's BDI1000/2000 family of high-speed development tools with dedicated software, resulting in a device that can be used to program flash memory at up to 170Kbyte/s

Web-based search simplifies MCU specification
Computer Solutions describes Micro-Search as the definitive, unbiased and free web-based selection guide for the 8051 family of microcontrollers.
The new programmer can be used to program most types of external Flash memory or internal Flash and EEPROM, on CPUs that include the latest ARM, XScale, MIPS 32/64 and Power PC devices as well as HC 12/16, 68K, M-Core and ColdFire.
Host access is via Ethernet (10Mbit/s) or RS232 (up to 115Kbaud) interfaces, and configurable program sequences for target system initialisation can be set.
Programming can be via 8, 16 and 32bit programming modes, and it is possible to load and edit the memory image and calculate the check sum as well as carrying out memory dump and verify functions.
User-defined program sets can be stored and recalled.
For the HC12 CPU, independent batch programming of internal Flash memory for automatic production programming applications is supported.
The HC12 version has a stand-alone mode in which the programmer, on sensing power at the target, programs the on-chip Flash and EEPROM, verifies it and gives a 'go/no-go' signal after which it is ready for the next unit without requiring operator intervention.
The BDIpro unit includes a Windows-based user interface for easy operation.
A 3-year hardware warranty and 6-month software support are included.
