SST Integrates FlashFlex51 SoftICE with Keil µVision2

SST (Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.), a leader in flash memory technology, now offers FlashFlex51 SoftICE (a software-based in-circuit emulator) that offers true in-circuit emulation capabilities through the Keil µVision Monitor-51 interface without requiring additional on-chip peripheral circuits or external components.

Using SoftICE, customers can use the popular Keil development tools to create, download, and debug programs on the SST FlashFlex51 devices. The monitor interface has been completely integrated into the microcontroller. The user hardware only needs to provide access to the serial port. Programs are downloaded into the on-chip FLASH memory using the SST Boot-Strap Loader (BSL). Breakpoints, watchpoints, and single-stepping are all possible using the SoftICE interface.

To help you get started investigating this exciting technology, SST offers the FlashFlex51 BSL Demo Kit which boasts new BSL features with enhanced Windows software. An improved target board for SST microcontrollers demonstrates full IAP capabilities of the FlashFlex51 MCUs through the Boot-Strap Loader, which is factory pre-programmed into most of the FlashFlex51 microcontrollers.
