1. GENERAL PRESENTATION
EM Programming Box 2 (EMPB2) is a very compact, easy-to-use and low-cost EM programmer. This
programmer is able to program all the standard EM Microcontrollers. EMPB2 support only ISP (In-System-
Programming) – no socket provided. EMPB2 is USB powered and does not require any additional power-
supply. The Software can be launched with its GU (Graphical User) Interface or through command from dos
shell or any other application.

The ISP cable has to be connected here
2.2 USB CONNECTOR
It uses a female B-Mini 5 poles SMD connector.
The USB cable must be connected here
2.3 ISP CABLE
The red mark shows the pin 1.
The ISP flex cable is a 1:1 cable. It uses two female connector (2.54mm
HE10 2x5 pole female).
ISP cable must be connected between the ISP connector and the
application connector, demo board …
2.4 ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Since the EMPB2 deliver power during programming, it is understood that the power is limited and it is
not possible to deliver an important current. User must not exceed the following limitations:
9 N.C. Vpp/Vreg 10
7 Gnd Sclk 8
5 N.C. Sdio 6
3 Reset Test 4
1 Vdd/Vbat N.C. 2

mA
Table 3 : Maximum DC ratings
Connections to the dedicated programming pins (power and signals) must be done carefully.
No power-supply from the target board must be applied during the time of the EMPB2
connections. Disconnect the application power-supply before connecting the EMPB2.
If the application sink a significant part of the maximum rating current (Table 3 : Maximum DC
ratings), disconnect the application.
If communication lines (Sdio, Sclk) are used in the applications as general IOs you must
ensure that load on the lines will not be too important. Eventually and if possible, add some
serial resistors between the lines and the application and connect directly the programming
pins to the communications lines without resistors.
2.5 DEVICE CONNECTIONS
EM6503 - EM6504 - EM6505 - EM6517 - EM6520 - EM6521 - EM6522 - EM6540 required
connections:
EM6580 required connections:
EM6812 required connections:
2.6 NOTE CONCERNING EM6580
A special option “Disable sector 2 verification” (/N option in command line mode) allows to handle
EM6580 without checking the content of sector 2 (refer to EM6580 Datasheet paragraph 15.2
Oscillator Trimming for more information). If this option is not selected (verification enabled means that
EMPB2 verify the content of sector 2 which contain trimming values) the content of sector 2 is written
and saved in a file located under EMPB2 installation folder (lastsector2.bin).

3. SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
3.1 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Do Not connect the EMPB2
Double-click on the executable file EMPBVxxx.exe and follow the steps.
After installation procedure, the USB driver must now be installed.
Open the EMPB2 software (shortcut in your Start menu). The following window appear
Connect EMPB2 to the USB cable and USB cable to your PC
New hardware will be detected, then by double-clicking on the New Hardware Found (USB
detection tip in your task bar), the following window appear
Check the “Install from a list or specific location” option and click next. The following window
appear

3.2 EMPB2 SOFTWARE - GUI
The selection of the Device is done through the device combo-box.
The selection of the programming file is done through the Browse menu. Two formats are
supported (pure binary file *.bin or IntelHEX *.hex).
File Checksum is the checksum evaluated from the programming file.
Program action will realize the programming and CRC check. Device checksum return the
value of the CRC read from the device (File and device checksum must be identical for a
successful programming).
Verify action realize a CRC check
3.3 EMPB2 SOFTWARE – COMMAND LINE
EMPB2 can also be started from command line (DOS or any application). The following command line
is described below:
EMPB2 [/C] [/N] [/?|/H|/Help] [/M <MCU Type>] [/F <file to program>]
/C Return the CRC as returned value if successful otherwise it return code error
Note: If no /C option return value is 0 if successful otherwise it return code error
/N Don’t check sector 2 content if any (EM6580)
/?, /H or /Help Open a help message box with
/M <MCU name> The name of the MCU (EM6580, EM6812-2K, …)
/F <Prog. File> The FULL path of the file to program (including extension .bin or .hex
