UDE MemTool Utilities - Tools for FLASH Memory Programming and OTP Memory Programming

UDE MemTool is designed for On-Chip FLASH programming and On-Board FLASH / OTP programming with microcontroller hardware systems using C166, C166CBC, C166S-V2, XC166, XC2000, XE166, ST10, ST30, TriCore, PowerPC, ARM7, ARM9, ARM11 derivatives.
The debugging tool Universal Debug Engine (UDE) features the On-Chip FLASH programming or external FLASH / OTP EPROM programming directly from within the Debugging Environment via the UDE MemTool Add-In.

Versions of MemTool

UDE MemTool Add-In .. is a part of the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) and allows the FLASH / OTP programming during the development cycle inside of UDE. MemTool observes the download path and runs the programming process when requested.

UDE Standalone MemTool .. comes with a separate front-end interface as standalone tool outside of UDE. All programming functions are available also via standard COM automation interfaces. Using these interfaces, the features of MemTool may be integrated into automatic production and test systems or can be executed via scripts.

General Features

High-speed data communication by using the debug channel between target system and the debugging tool Universal Debug Engine based on the fast-PC6x or Access Device Communication Hardware
Automatic adaptation of data to be programmed to the smallest memory block size by automatic read operations
Easy-to-Use: FLASH programming is integrated in the debugger-to-target program download.
Transparent Erase Mode: previous bank read and bank erase simulate random access for non-bytewise erasable FLASH memories

Functions of UDE MemTool

UDE MemTool offers following functions (depending on the type of memory)

Erasing the entire memory module
Erasing selected sectors of the memory module
Loading Intel Hex and Motorola S-Record files
Programming all or selected portions of the file into the memory module
Comparing all or selected portions of the file to the current contents of the memory module
Read back and save-to-disk of the current memory content
Setting and Resetting the Chip/Sector Protection (On-Chip only)
Calculating CRC sums of sections
Watchdog handling for some derivatives.

MemTool can handle more than one memory module on the target system and is only using On-Chip RAM for execution (IRAM; XRAM when available). MemTool supports the Single-Chip Reset Mode of the new SAB C16x derivatives.

Operation

Automatic activation when downloading an application in the debugger if write accesses onto the FLASH are required. In a dialog box all areas to be programmed are displayed. Programming may be started or cancelled manually. In the Transparent-Erase Mode, after editing a memory area in the debugger (e.g. in the memory window) the FLASH programming tool may be launched and the edited data can be burned into the memory using simulated bytewise programming.

Communication between Host PC and Target System

As communication channels ASC Bootstrap loader, CAN Bootstrap loader, CAN in combination with ASC Bootstrap loader and JTAG can be used. The standalone MemTool offers additionally the host-target communication via a standard RS232 host interface (COMx). Beside RS232 interface, the usage of the K-Line interface is possible.

Licensing of the UDE standalone MemTool

For UDE standalone MemTool, one license is required per workplace. Other license models are available on request, e.g. Department/ Company License or OEM license model.

The UDE standalone MemTool license includes a one-year maintenance and support contract that may be renewed every year. The license includes one custom specific adaptation (product) to a particular target system by pls Development Tools. Thus, the 'MemTool Configuration Form' is used to define the specific target system configuration. Additional MemTool adaptations to other target systems can then easily be set up by the customer itself.

With a full-custom MemTool, even more advanced features can be included into MemTool (e.g. integration into automatic production and test systems). Please contact us for specification and quotation.

Please note: Due to the limited number of program-erase cycles of the FLASH and the time required for programming it is not possible to execute single-stepping inside FLASH in non-JTAG derivatives while debugging the application.
