 Blackfin and SHARC DSPs generally use external flash memory for bootloading and other data storage. This flash can be preprogrammed before soldering onto the board, programmed with a bed of nails tester, or programmed via JTAG using an ADI ICE and Visual DSP++. None of these methods are ideal for production targets.
Danville's dspFlash™ SHARC & Blackfin Programmer is a production programmer that supports Blackfins and third generation SHARC DSPs. Thousands of DSP - flash memory configurations are supported, all you need is a standard ADI JTAG connection on your target. Features: - Support for popular SPI serial & parallel flash devices
- Support for current and future ADI DSPs (2126x, 2136x, BF531 and later)
- Firmware upgradeable via USB
- Standalone - Windows application
- Compatible with the Intel HEX & ADI ldr files.
- 64Mbit internal buffer, files downloaded once from PC.
- USB bus powered.
- Replaceable, inexpensive ribbon cable plugs into latching header.
- 3.3V, 2.5V & 1.8V logic levels
- Hot swappable
How it works .......
The dspFlash programmer is connected via USB to a PC running Windows 2000, XP or Vista. Your target is connected via an inexpensive removable ribbon cable to a standard ADI JTAG connector. The dspFlash programmer works in concert with the dspFlash Windows software program. You specify the target DSP, flash device, chip select, file format and data file. You can save this configuration for later recall. You then upload to the dspFlash programmer to its internal SDRAM. All the data now resides in the dspFlash programmer so it doesn't need to be downloaded each time when programming multiple devices. You are now ready to start programming. You connect the programming cable to a powered target. The programmer automatically configures its I/O to the correct voltage of the target. Press "Write File" and the DSP writes its own flash. It doesn't rely on bit-banging via boundary scan. This would be possible but very slow. The programmer is fast, much faster than even an ADI HP-USB ICE and the VisualDSP++ flash programming utility. You can also write supplemental information. For example, you might want to add a serial number or calibration values. The dspFlash Windows application is frequently updated to support new DSPs and flash devices. The updates are free. If your configuration is not currently supported, drop us an email and chances are we will quickly add it to the list. View our FAQs on the dspFlash Programmer here.
