Flash programming software handles more devices
OCDemon Flash Programmer, the industry-leading Flash programming software from Macraigor Systems, now supports several new families of Flash chip parts.
The OCDemon products offer the industry's most advanced, yet price-sensitive, solution for the designing, debugging and programming of hardware designs and application software.
Macraigor has added software support for the following processor chips: the ARM Cortex-M3 family of CPUs produced by Luminary Micro and other manufacturers for use in high-performance, low-cost products such as wireless networking and automotive controls; the Freescale MPC 83xx PowerQUICC II Pro family of high-end communication and networking processors; AMD Geode GX/LX processors used for embedding low-power, high-performance x86 architecture in consumer and industrial devices; and the Marvell PXA3xx family (Monahans), the third generation of Intel's XScale family, for high-end communication and video devices.
Any of these CPUs may be debugged alone or in conjunction with numerous supported Flash memory parts using Macraigor software solutions.

OCDemon is available with Eclipse tool suite and Gnu prebuilt example projects.
Macraigor Systems offers a complete Eclipse tool suite bundled with Gnu tools and prebuilt with example projects at no cost on the Macraigor Systems website.
Additional software debugging solutions for programming and debugging hardware designs and application software are also available from Macraigor Systems.
These include the price-sensitive JSCAN boundary scan debug tool, JTAG Commander, Flash programming tools, the OCD Commander, Target Access and OCD Remote solutions.
The OCD Commander offers an easy-to-use debugger providing graphical user interface (GUI) access for manipulation of the CPU (run, halt, reset) and its associated registers and memories.
The JTAG Commander is a GUI based application for low-level control of a JTAG enabled target.
JSCAN is a powerful GUI application for debug of target hardware via JTAG enabling one to test for open, shorts and other problems under BGA devices and elsewhere as well as programming FPGAs and EEPROMs for gate arrays.
OCD Remote is Macraigor Systems' offering for debugging with Eclipse/Gnu tools GDB.
OCD Remote and the OCD Commander are available for debugging on both Windows and Linux platforms.
The OCDemon Flash programmer includes a GUI application for performing a variety of programming and debugging functions on Flash parts.
The GUI interface provides high-level interaction for debugging and programming the contents of Flash connected to the target CPU.
Debugging functionality includes blank checking and checksumming both specific ranges and the entire contents of Flash memory.
Programming functionality includes erasing, filling a range with a pattern, programming from a file and verification against a file.
This functionality is also offered in a DLL using Flash Access, which is well suited for automated environments.
The DLL may be called from custom applications written in Delphi, C/C++ or Visual Basic programming language.
A batch-file interface is also provided.
The OCDemon Flash programmer is available for both Windows and Linux platforms.
The OCDemon family of debug tools is immediately available for the ARM, AMD, Marvell and PowerPC processors.
The OCDemon Flash programmer, Flash Access and Target Access are each US $500 for the first licence, and incremental licenses are $100 each.
JSCAN is $1895 and JTAG Commander is $395.
The OCD Commander (an assembly-level software debugger) OCD Remote, and Eclipse and Gnu tool suites are available at no charge from the Macraigor website.
