Stand alone program to JTAG a .s19 file to a K60

larrydemuth — Sat, 07 Sep 2019 12:58:53 GMT

I can JTAG using the development software, but I want our manufacturer to program a .s19 into the K60 when they build the boards. I don't want them to have the source code and development environment. Is there a stand alone program that they can use to JTAG a .s19 file into the K60 parts? Preferably a free program.

Hi Larry,

typically your manufacturer already has such devices as part of its production line, and all what you need to supply is the S19, Bin or Intel-Hex file. When we give boards to manufacture from our projects at the university, it is that case. I know that many are using either a Cyclone from P&E or SEGGER Flasher (see Flashing many ARM Boards without a Host PC | MCU on Eclipse): they do not need a host PC and have the binary/image on the flasher. They have as well a 'secure' flashing mode (you can provide the needed keys/certificates) in case there is a concern that too many devices might be programmed (this is a concern in certain areas where you want to avoid that there are 'side' products produced).

Bottom line: check with your manufacturere what he is using and what he needs from you. But in any case, a s19, bin or hex should do it.

I hope this helps,

Erich

If the K60's EzPort is available it can be done without any tools by cloning the code from one K60 to another:

We aren't using the EZ port. For debugging I use PE Micro Multilink, but want the board manufacturer to program the parts through JTAG since that's what is on the board.

I would expect every manufacturer to be equipped with JTAG programming capabilities so ask the manufacturer that you have chosen to confirm.

Larry,

We recently added support for a secure production programming mode that supports RSA/AES key encryption to protect your S19 data inside our Cyclone. Please visit our website at www.pemicro.com or send us an email at technical-info@pemicro.com if you're interested in learning more.
