Abstract

During its lifetime, an embedded system’s software is subject to recurrent changes, such as bug fixes, upgrades or even complete replacements. Traditionally, programming the system with a new application, i.e., flashing, requires a cable-connection between a PC and the system’s microcontroller. In effect, the cable connects the PC to the controller’s program (flash) memory, via a dedicated hardware flasher located on the chip.
