Overview
The Amfeltec Universal In-Circuit Programmer/Loader is a versatile tool designed for programming a wide range of electronic components. This compact device supports multiple programming protocols, including SPI, I2C, JTAG, and UART, making it suitable for various applications in electronic design and development.
Featuring a USB 2.0 interface for easy connectivity to host computers, this programmer/loader offers flexibility in power options. It can be powered via USB or an external power supply, accommodating different project requirements. The device's robust design includes ESD protection and overcurrent protection, ensuring reliability during operation.
With its ability to program components in-circuit or on a standalone basis, this tool streamlines the development process for electronic engineers. The Amfeltec Universal In-Circuit Programmer/Loader is compatible with Windows operating systems and comes with comprehensive software support, including a GUI application and command-line interface for seamless integration into automated testing environments.
The In-Circuit Programmer/Loader ("EasyLoader" or "eLoader") is a standalone device that was designed to provide a flexible and cost-effective solution for electronic device manufacturers, as well as for hardware design companies and their customers. It allows you to upgrade code on any JTAG/SPI/I2C compliant device (like FPGA/CPLD/EEprom/Flash, etc.) or Microcontrollers at any time of development, testing or production.
Its small size and ease of use make the "eLoader" a unique device for the electronics manufacturing industry. Practically anyone can use it without making any mistakes. Once configured using a PC, it can be repeatedly used for a particular electronic product. An intuitive red/green LED interface indicates the operation status, making it ideal for a manufacturing line environment. Eliminate the need to pre-program (before assembly) as code releases can be loaded momentarily — just before a manufactured device is shipped to a customer.
Upon initial configuration, the "eLoader" functions as a completely standalone device that does not require connection to a host PC, power cable or batteries.
APPLICATIONS
Board Assembly House
The eLOADER can be used in a board assembly house to program the programmable logic devices as they come off the assembly line. It's easy to use, so minimal training is required for the personnel. After initial configuration, the device does not require a computer connection for normal operation. This can help you completely avoid pre-programming parts and first article sign off, and as a result you can significantly reduce production costs.
Update Firmware Prior to Shipping
Boards can be programmed just prior to shipping to the customer. This ensures that only the latest firmware will be used. It also adds further flexibility, because a board can be programmed with different security/capability settings based on the particular customer order. There's no need to stock boards with different firmware; instead, program each board as the order comes in.
Remote Firmware Update
The compact size and ease of use make it possible to simply ship the eLOADER to customers. The eLoader starts working after the power is turned on so it can be easily operated by anyone. There's no need to send an engineer overseas just to reprogram a customer's device or to ship a device back to the factory for an update or replacement.
Engineering
Because the eLOADER doesn't need a computer for normal operation, it can be a very useful portable programming/loading solution in the event that the debugging laboratory and engineering cubes are in different locations.
