ULINK: USING ULINK AS A DEVICE PROGRAMMER

Information in this article applies to:

• ULINK USB-JTAG Adapter
• ULINK2 USB-JTAG Adapter
• µVision Version 3.10 or higher

QUESTION

Is it possible to use ULINK as device programmer for HEX files? Looking at the µVision options I was not able to find a way to do this.

Since the µVision Evaluation Versions are code size limited, do I need a full version of the tools when my code exceeds the code size limitation for device programming?

ANSWER

µVision can program HEX files as described in the µVision3 User's Guide, Flash Programming, HEX File Flash Download.

You do not need a full version of the tools, since loading and programming of HEX files is unrestricted in the Demo/Evaluation Tools.

µVision can be also called from BATCH mode, so that you can integrate the Flash programming into an automated process.

MORE INFORMATION

• Refer to HEX Files in the µVision® User's Guide.
• Refer to Command Line in the µVision® User's Guide.
• Refer to Downloading to Flash in the ULINK® User's Guide.
