The table below shows the ICDmini hardware and firmware versions supported by the Multi-Programmer.
Table 3.1 Versions Supported by Multi-Programmer
Hardware/software Versions supported
ICDmini hardware The version supported depends on the target MCU model. Refer to “
Available ICDmini
hardware version” under “Appendix B List of Configurations by Model” for more
information by model. If you do not have an ICDmini of the version listed in that table,
contact our sales representative. Note
that a serial number must be programmed to the
ICDmini if its version is 1.0 or 1.1, or if the firmware has been updated by the user.
ICDmini firmware
The version supported depends on the target MCU model. Refer to “Available ICDmini
firmware version” under “Appendix B List of Configurations by Model” for more
information by model. The ICDmini allows the user to update the firmware.

5. Advance Preparation
It is necessary to prepare a file and to confirm the ICDmini version before multi-programming can be started.
5.1 Preparation of Gang Writer
Download the Gang Writer software from our website shown below, then unarchive and install it to the PC.
<MP Support Tool> section on https://www.epsondevice.com/support_e/mcu/product/page04.html#01
5.2 Preparation of Model-Specific Information File
Download the model-specific information file if available from our website shown below, then unarchive and
install it to the PC.
<GNU17 IDE> section on https://www.epsondevice.com/support_e/mcu/product/page04.html#02
The same model-specific information files as GNU17 (S1C17 Family software development tool) are included in
the S5U1C17000Y23 package. When the model-specific information file of a model is updated or the file for a
new model is added before being included to GNU17, the file name appears on the model list of the website
independently. If the model-specific information file name for the model to be used appears, be sure to download
it.
The downloaded model-specific information file should be unarchived into the folder shown below. If an older
version of the model-specific information file exists in the folder, overwrite with the newly downloaded file.
C:\EPSON\C17GangWriter\mcu_model
The underlined part shown above is the default path when Gang Writer is installed to the default folder. This path
changes to other drives and folders if another location other than the default folder is specified at the installation.

5. Advance Preparation

5.3 Confirming and Updating ICDmini Firmware
Set the DIP switch of the ICDmini as shown in the figure below. This makes it possible to establish
communication between the PC and the ICDmini without a target system.
* 1.8 V and 3.3 V power supply pins are available only in the ICDmini Ver. 2.0.

5. Advance Preparation
8 Seiko Epson Corporation S5U1C17001Y23 Multi-Programmer
System Manual (Rev. 1.1)
The “New hardware search wizard” starts when the ICDmini is connected to the PC for the first time. In this case,
specify the folder shown below to install the USB driver.
C:\EPSON\C17GangWriter\utility\drv_usb\OS_32bit
C:\EPSON\C17GangWriter\utility\drv_usb\OS_64bit
Note: Specify the folder in which Gang Writer is installed for the underlined path above. Moreover, the USB
driver must use the one attached to this Gang Writer.
•Confirming ICDmini firmware version
Select [EPSON MCU] →[S1C17GangWriter] →[icdver] from the Start menu. When Windows 7 or Vista is
used, right-click on [icdver] and select “Run as administrator.”
A window opens and displays the ICDmini hardware and firmware version numbers. Check to see if the
firmware version is equal to or higher than that described in “Available ICDmini firmware version” under
“Appendix B List of Configurations by Model.”
Figure 5.3.3 ICDmini Version Checker Execution Screen
The example above shows the version number as follows:
- Firmware: Ver. 3.2
S/N is the serial number set to the ICDmini, and hyphens are displayed if no serial number is programmed to
the ICDmini. If the serial number is not displayed correctly, execute icdver again after pressing the reset button
on the ICDmini.
•Updating ICDmini firmware
If the ICDmini firmware version is lower than that described in “Available ICDmini firmware version” under
“Appendix B List of Configurations by Model,” update the firmware to the latest version. For how to update the
firmware, refer to the website shown below.
<Necessary Tool> section on https://www.epsondevice.com/support_e/mcu/product/page04.html#01

5.4 Confirming ICDmini Hardware Version and Programming Serial Number
Confirm the ICDmini hardware version printed on the bottom. It is necessary to program a serial number to the
ICDmini if the hardware version is lower than 2.0 or no serial number is printed. Furthermore, the serial number
programmed in the ICDmini is cleared when the firmware is updated, therefore, serial number programming is
also required in this case.
Figure 5.4.1 ICDmini Bottom View
The ICDmini Ver. 1.0 or Ver. 1.1 may not be used depending on the target MCU. For more information, refer to
“Available ICDmini hardware version” under “Appendix B List of Configurations by Model.”
•Programming serial number
After connecting the ICDmini to the PC, select [EPSON MCU] →[S1C17GangWriter] →[C17SNwrite] from
the Start menu. When Windows 7 or Vista is used, right-click on [C17SNwrite] and select “Run as
administrator.” When the window shown below opens, enter the ICDmini serial number to the [Serial No.] field
and then click on the [WRITE] button. The [READ] button can be used to read out the serial number of the
ICDmini currently connected.
Figure 5.4.2[ICDmini Serial Number] Writer Window
Although any number, except an overlapping number, can be entered as the serial number, as a general rule
enter the one that is printed on the bottom of the ICDmini. If the ICDmini is not recognized, press the reset
button on the ICDmini.
Note: The C17SNwrite must be executed with the ICDmini DIP switch No. 7 set to ON.

Erase/Write Program
(1) File
Enter the FLS file name.
(2) Erase Routine Address
Enter the flash memory erase routine start address in a hexadecimal number.
(Effective range: 0x0 to 0xfffffe) The prefix “0x” or “0X” is not necessary to enter.
(3) Write Routine Address
Enter the flash memory program routine start address in a hexadecimal number.
(Effective range: 0x0 to 0xfffffe) The prefix “0x” or “0X” is not necessary to enter.
(4) Time out
Enter the time used to determine a time-out error during erasing/programming the
flash memory. (Effective range: 0 to
