Production Programmer (embedded ISP) for Microcontrollers, Flash Components and PLD/FPGA
Are you looking for a stand-alone programming solution, but can do without overhead testing?
FlashFOX is a standalone production programmer that enables the fast and secure in system programming (ISP) of microcontrollers, flash memories, programmable logic devices (PLDs), and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) from a wide range of manufacturers. Designed for industrial use in electronics production, the flash programmer is an easy-to-use tool for development, debugging and programming of microcontrollers.
Thanks to its robust hardware, intuitive user interface, and extensive functions, the standalone programmer can be seamlessly integrated into existing production processes. Its flexible interfaces and wide range of supported programmable devices enable versatile use — from the laboratory bench to the production line.
Despite its compact design, FlashFOX® achieves the highest programming speeds. Both in the laboratory and production, the FlashFOX® works time and cost-efficiently because up to eight different DUTs can be programmed and validated simultaneously.
The system design consists of a compact master unit and extremely small remote PODs that ensure maximum signal integrity despite of high distances. Control is via hardware commands (stand-alone via ATE interface) or a host system. FlashFOX® serves different debug interfaces (such as JTAG, SWD or DAP) or communication interfaces (SPI, I²C or UART) on the DUT side. Dedicated programming drivers ensure the shortest possible programming times.

JavaScript Support
Implementation of highly flexible and customized programming sequences using JavaScript Programming procedures can be just as flexible and complex as the PCBA itself. Multiple actions often need to be carried out in succession and in dependence on each other.
The FlashFOX is the first production programmer to support the execution of JavaScript, which also forms the basis for internal procedure processing. With the help of a graphical user interface and generators, the JavaScript is automatically generated.
This allows users to select, proprietaries and sequence predefined actions, such as a chip erase, program or verify. But the use of JavaScript offers even more advantages. Scripts can be adapted, added to or programmed manually from scratch at any time. All the possibilities of JavaScript are available to the user. With the help of variables, loops and control structures, such as IF commands, complex and very flexible processes can be created. Even the manipulation of programming data is possible at runtime.
JavaScript also allows the integration of your own libraries to expand the possibilities. Thus, the execution of JavaScript allows the FlashFOX to implement very flexible and customised programming sequences.
Embedded In-System Programming (ISP)
As an alternative to on-socket programming or pre-programmed microcontrollers/parallel memories, with embedded ISP the device is programmed in the already installed state (in the system). This means that no mechanical stress is placed on the circuit and firmware updates are simplified.
Securing the PCBA prior to programming
Often, numerous constraints must be met before memory chips and UUTs can even be successfully addressed. This starts with extensive power-up sequences. With the help of a microcontroller, CPLDs or FPGAs, different voltage domains must be switched on and monitored one after the other. Without observing the correct switching sequence, timings or safety mechanisms, the desired functions could be compromised or even damage the DUT.
Memory devices are often protected by complicated security circuits. This is to prevent the wrong data from being written or content from being read in the first place. This is a major challenge for programmers, because successful programming is not possible without direct control over all the signals necessary to switch on the PCBA correctly.
The FlashFOX solves this problem by implementing a SVF execution. Boundary Scan Shift Vectors are stored in an SVF file. This allows Boundary Scan operations to be performed and signals to be set, read and verified.
In this way, design-specific and complex power-up sequences and security mechanisms can be implemented. SVF files are standardised and can be generated from a variety of development environments (including GÖPEL electronic's SYSTEM CASCON).
