Hi everyone,

I am interested in using the new Infineon "XMC Flasher" App to allow the end user to upgrade firmware. Most end users are non English speaking.

Does the App support command line arguments / batch files ?

Can the user interface run in languages other than English ?

Thank you very much

Hi,

The current command line options are (from XMCFlasher_Installation_Instructions.pdf document):

3.2 Command prompt

3.2.1 Show all options
XMCFlasher.bat -help

3.2.2 List all device names
XMCFlasher.bat -listdevices

3.2.3 Program file
XMCFlasher.bat –p myprogram.hex –device XMC4500-1024

3.2.4 Erase flash memory
XMCFlasher.bat –erase –device XMC4500-1024

Hi Deni & Jesus,

Do you know if there are any plans for a DLL so I can flash a device from a LabVIEW, C++ or C# application ?

Thank you
Aaron

Jesus,

Does the XMCFlasher allow multiple J-Link devices to used on the same machine at the same time?

E.g. (on 2 different chips)
I could call XMCFlasher.bat –p myprogram.hex –device XMC4500-1024 on the first chip
, and I could call XMCFlasher.bat –p myprogram2.hex –device XMC4500-1024 on the second chip.

Regards,
Mark

Hi,

I would use JLink from Segger, see https://wiki.segger.com/J-Link_Commander#Batch_processing (Connecting to a specific J-Link)
You can flash a device using JLink with a simple script, i.e.
device XMC4800-2048
si SWD
speed auto
erase
loadbin test.bin, 0x0c000000
r
g
q


Then run jlink.exe with the -commanderscript argument as explained in link above.

Jesus

More of a reply for future personal looking for the answer I was asking about using multiple FLASH programmers to program multiple devices. This is what I found.

XMCFlasher - 1 programming device.
Memtool - 1 programming device.
J-Link - Up to 4 devices numerated by computer 0 to 3. If wanting a consistent numeration for something like production this wouldn't be a good solution.
J-Flasher - x number of devices over USB or IP. Uses device serial number on USB or IP address. https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/UM08003 (Wished I found this app note before buying a Segger Flasher ATE. Could have saved some money)
Even an nice section on how to program in parallel.
