Introduction

This chapter provides a short overview about the the Flasher ATE its features.

11 CHAPTER 1 Flasher ATE overview

1.1 Flasher ATE overview

Flasher ATE is a programming tool for micro controllers with on-chip or external flash mem-

ory. Flasher ATE is designed for programming flash targets in stand-alone mode or remote

controlled via a PC.

Flasher ATE connects to a PC using the USB / Ethernet / RS232 interface, running Windows

7, Windows 8 or Windows 10. In stand-alone mode, Flasher ATE can be driven by telnet

interface, or via the RS232 interface (handshake control or ASCII interface). Flasher ATE has

a 20-pin connector, which supports the following target interfaces: JTAG or SWD. Various

interface adapters, sold separately, are available.

1.1.1 Features of the Flasher ATE

• Supports up to 10 individual channels.

• Stand-alone JTAG/SWD programmer (Once set up, Flasher can be controlled without

the use of a PC program).

• Flexible power supply (USB, DC).

• 128 MB memory for storage of target program on each module.

• Data files can be updated via the integrated FTP server.

• Target interface: JTAG, SWD or SWIM.

1.1.2 Working environment

General

The Flasher ATE can be operated from a PC with an appropriate software like J-Flash or

in stand-alone mode.

Host System

IBM PC/AT or compatible CPU: 486 (or better) with at least 128MB of RAM, running Mi-

crosoft Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10. It needs to have a USB, Ethernet, or RS232

interface available for communication with the Flasher ATE.

Power supply

The system is powered via the mainboard. The supply voltage needs to be in the range

from 4.8V to 5.25V. If the supply voltage exceeds these limits, the mainboard immediately

shuts down the power supply for the connected modules for safety reasons.

Current consumption (typical)

Mainboard

5V DC connector (VMAIN) 100 mA (no flasher module connected, no

USB, no Ethernet)

5V DC connector (VMAIN) 180 mA (no flasher module connected,

USB and Ethernet connected)

USB (not applicable for hardware V1.1) 100 mA (no flasher module connected, no

USB, no Ethernet)

USB (not applicable for hardware V1.1) 180 mA (no flasher module connected,

USB and Ethernet connected)

12 CHAPTER 1 Flasher ATE overview

Module

5V via Flasher ATE Bus (VCC5V) 100 mA (no target power supply)

5V via Flasher ATE Bus (VCC5V) 220 mA (target power supply with 100mA)

Note

Many USB power supplies have a high drop on the supply voltage if they operate at

their power limit. We recommend the DC connector and a DC power supply when

operating the Flasher ATE.

Flasher PC-software (J-Flash)

The latest version of the J-Flash software, which is part of the J-Link software and docu-

mentation package, can be downloaded from our website:

https://www.segger.com/jlink-software.html For more information about using J-Flash,

please refer to UM08003_JFlash.pdf (J-Flash user guide) which is also available for down-

load on our website.

Universal Flash Loader Configurator software

The latest version of the Universal Flash Loader Configurator software can always be down-

loaded from our website:

https://www.segger.com/downloads/flasher

This software is only needed if your CPU requires the usage of the Universal Flash Loader.

Chapter 2

Working with the Flasher ATE

This chapter describes functionality and how to use the Flasher ATE.

16 CHAPTER 2 The Flasher ATE

2.1 The Flasher ATE

The Flasher ATE has been designed to be used in conjunction with automated test equip-

ment (ATE). It is modular and scalable from 1 to 10 individual programming modules.

17 CHAPTER 2 The Flasher ATE

2.1.1 Power supply

2.1.1.1 Mainboard and module power supply

The Flasher ATE mainboard and the modules are powered either by a dedicated power

connector (VMAIN) or by USB. The power source may not be switched while the Flasher

ATE is running.

18 CHAPTER 2 The Flasher ATE

2.1.1.2 Target power supply

For target power supply, the Flasher ATE offers two options. Additionally, a power discharge

option is available. The target is electrically isolated from the mainboard’s power supply.

The first option is to use the VTGT connector. It is possible to provide any voltage between

3 and 15V, however the target interface is limited to 1.2V - 5V signal voltage. The VTGT

connector is directly coupled to the target, so any electrical isolation has to be done in the

external power supply.

The second option is to use the module’s internal power source VCC5V, which is able to

deliver up to 100mA to the target.

The power discharge option applies, when the operation has finished. A 220 ohms resistor

is used to discharge any remaining charge on the target’s capacitors. As the thermal load

of the resistor is limited, the target’s capacity may not exceed 27mF at 15V or 250mF at

5V supply voltage.

Note

There is no protection against overload when using the internal power source.

19 CHAPTER 2 Setting up the IP interface

2.2 Setting up the IP interface

The Flasher ATE comes with an additional Ethernet interface to communicate with the host

system. The Flasher ATE has a built-in webserver which allows some basic setup of the

emulator, e.g. configuring a default gateway which allows using it even in large intranets.

2.2.1 Connecting for the first time

When connecting Flasher ATE for the first time, it attempts to acquire an IP address via

DHCP. The recommended way for finding out which IP address has been assigned to Flasher

ATE is to use the J-Link Configurator. The J-Link Configurator is a small GUI-based utility

which shows a list of all emulators that are connected to the host PC via USB and Ethernet.

For more information about the J-Link Configurator, please refer to UM08001_JLink.pdf (J-

Link / J-Trace user guide), chapter Setup, section J-Link Configurator.

The picture shows the J-Link Configurator with the detected Flasher ATEs. Select the one

you want to configure.

You may configure your Flasher ATE to use your preferred IP setting. This is done by se-

lecting the Flasher ATE in the list, opening the context menu with a right click on the list

entry, and choosing Configure from the context menu. Enter your required IP settings in

the dialog box that opens up, e.g. as shown in the next picture. Confirm the IP settings

by pressing OK.
