NETIMPRESS avant is an in-circuit programmer for high-speed programming flash ROM internal
microcomputer and flash ROM connected to external bus of the micro processor in board mounting
status.
By adding each firm data (definition program file) for programming microcomputer into the SD card
for NETIMPRESS avant, it can support various devices.
Setting conditions are stored in the SD card. Therefore you can use it as a stand-alone (without PC).
1.2. Communication Environments
Standard Ethernet TCP/IP can be used for communication between NETIMPRESS avant and a host PC.
Therefore, a host PC is required to have a corresponding interface. If there is no interface, you need
to add it.
