The system controller residing inside the device handles the programming and complies to IEEE 1532 and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG standards. Device can be programmed either using JTAG interface or SPI. PolarFire, SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2 devices support programming via an external master as well as self-programming. The solution comprises hardware, software, and collaterals, which allow easy access to the programming and debugging features available in SoC FPGA and FPGA devices and shorten the learning curve.
Spi programmer software upgrade#
Various features available on-chip and in tools allow for secure remote upgrade and protection against overbuilding. When Designing Hardware Supporting In-System Programming, always connect ground of the target to ground of the In-System Programmer.Microsemi’s Programming solutions provide various programming options based on product’s life-cycle and system requirements. Another option is to use external power supply, in which VCC from programmer is left unconnected and board is powered using external power supply. This would allow the target to be programmed without applying power to the target externally. VCC can be supplied from ISP programmer to the target PCB. During this first time, the In-System programmer will apply its pull up to keep the MISO line stable until it is driven by the target microcontroller. Only after the “Programming Enable" command has been correctly transmitted to the target will the target AVR microcontroller set its MISO pin to become an output. When Reset is applied to the target AVR microcontroller, the MISO pin is set up to be an input with no pull up.
This pin is always driven by the programmer, and the target system should never attempt to drive this wire when target reset is active.
Spi programmer software serial#
When programming the AVR in Serial mode, the In-System Programmer supplies data to the target on the MOSI pin. Immediately after the Reset goes active, this pin will be driven to zero by the programmer. When programming the AVR or other SPI chips in Serial mode, the In-System Programmer supplies clock information on the SCK pin. To simplify this operation, the target reset is controlled by the In-System Programmer. When erasing the chip, the reset line has to be toggled to end the erase cycle. The target AVR microcontroller will enter Serial Programming mode only when its reset line is active (low). This is done by connecting ground of the target to ground of the programmer.
The in-system programmer and target system need to operate with the same reference voltage.
