Programming a Device From PC Memory
3.10 Programming a Device From PC Memory Ð the Program Command
When you use the program command, the microcontroller and gang programmers display different prompts and messages. The microcontroller programmer is discussed in
3.10.1 Programming Using the Microcontroller Programmer
Use the microcontroller programmer's program command to program a device from the PC memory with verification.
Step 1: Define an error file for verification output (if any):
Error file:
The last entered file will appear as a default.
Step 2: Identify the address ranges used to program the device.
PC memory base address: all
The default for the base address, all, causes the valid address ranges defined for the current device type to be used as the blocks of PC memory for programming the device. The valid address ranges also tell where in the device to program the PC memory block(s).
However, if you want to program a device from a certain block of PC memory other than the default, enter the start address of the block and then the size of the block at the next prompt.
Size (in bytes) : 0000h
When specifying values other than the default, you must also define the device's base address at the following prompt.
Device base address:
The default for this prompt is the value entered for the PC memory base address prompt. If you want to program at a different location, enter the address at which programming is to start.
Once the programming begins, it proceeds packet by packet
Address out of range, Press any key
During the programming process, the programmer displays a status message on the bottom line to indicate the address currently being programmed.
Programming at address 7000 (hit ESC key to abort)
