Flash Programming

Flash Programming utilities get configured through the dialog Options for Target — Utilities. µVision supports several Flash programming utilities, for example:

• Adapters of the Keil ULINK USB-JTAG family that also offer debugging and tracing capabilities.
• Third-party adapters that can be selected from the configuration dialog.
• External, command-line driven utilities that are provided by chip vendors.

Applications can be downloaded to Flash:

• Manually - through the menu Flash - Download.
• Automatically - by enabling the checkbox Utilities — Update Target before Debugging.
