Question: Flash Programming software for K20/K64 MCU

[danielcheng]

In my PCB design,  I need to program the K20 (K20DN63M5) on my PCB through JTAG physical interface with the  programmer device (P&E USB Multilink Universal).  Right now, The software interface I use to program is the Kinetis Design studio IDE (3.2.0,  go to " pull down menu 'Run -> Flash from file ...'") .  Is there a standalone software to be used for flash/re-flashing the chip in this case?  Is PROG12Z working for K-series chip?  Otherwise, what's your recommendation? Thank you.

Hi Daniel Cheng

PROG12Z is for HC12 or MC9(S)12(X). You can check PROG for ARM® Cortex in P&EMicro web page P&E Microcomputer Systems: Over 30 years as an Industry leader in Embedded Systems Development Tools... 

Hope this could help

I use Segger and they have a tool called ozone you can use it to directly program the chips.

Thanks. But we already have P&G USB Multilink Universal in place. Do you know if PROG12Z works with this chip?  Thanks again.

I really dont know.

There is one other way to automate flashing by using gdb on the command line. Check this out :smileyhappy:
