5 Flash Programming

Whenever your application has been developed, debugged and tested as explained in the last chapter, it can be programmed to the internal flash ROM using the „MB91360 Flash Programmer“. This tool is a general flash programming utility, which allows programming the internal flash ROM without any restrictions given by the starterkit.

5.1Generic Flash Programmer

The tool „MB91360 Flash Programmer“ is a general flash programming tool which does not take care of the special features of this Starterkit. Therefore, it should be used to re-program the monitor-kernel. On the CD-ROM, you will find some kernel files (MHX-format) which are fixed for various baud rates. Make sure, you have the latest version available!

The tool can also be used to program any applications directly (without the possibility to have any debugging functions later on). In this case, the evaluation board will act as a target system only.

CAUTION: Take special care not to write anything to location 0FFEF4, the „security vector“. If you do, you will not be able to re-program the device ever again! See the hardware manual for details!

Make sure you have installed the Flash Programmer from your CD-ROM. The package includes the executable (Flashprg.exe) as well as some binary files (Brloadxx.bin) and a user’s guide (Flashprg.pdf).
