Page 88: Handshake Control
ON to reflect OK state. Note As the Flasher ATE is a modular system, using the handshake remote control START always triggers the “Auto” function of every connected module. The BUSY line is sig- naled as long as any module is still busy and the OK line only reports “OK” in case of every module has successfully completed the operation.
Page 89 CHAPTER 4 Handshake control ASCII command interface, described in the next chapter, for the Flasher ATE as it gives better remote control capabilities. Flasher User Guide (UM08022) © 2004-2018 SEGGER Microcontroller GmbH...
Page 90: Ascii Command Interface
Reply messages must be considered in each case. In general, a new command must not be sent before a reply for the last one has been received. For the Flasher ATE, all commands triggering a flash programming function (#AUTO, #CANCEL, #ERASE, #PROGRAM, #VERIFY) may be used for other modules, before a reply for the current operation has been received.
Page 91: Commands And Replies
Replies from the Flasher #ACK #NACK #OK:<NumBytes>:<Data> #OK:<Size> #STATUS: #RESULT:<Module>: #DONE #ERRxxx For these commands, the module number has to be given as the first parameter when using a Flasher ATE. Flasher User Guide (UM08022) © 2004-2018 SEGGER Microcontroller GmbH...
Page 92 <Baudrate> is expected in decimal format. If this command succeeds, Flasher responds with: #ACK Otherwise it will respond with one of the following error messages: #ERR255: Invalid parameters Flasher User Guide (UM08022) © 2004-2018 SEGGER Microcontroller GmbH...
Page 93 If this command succeeds, Flasher responds with: #ACK Find below a sample sequence which shows how to use the #SELECT command: #SELECT ATSAM7_1 // ATSAM7_1.CFG and ATSAM7_1.DAT is selected #ACK #AUTO // Start auto programming #ACK #STATUS:INITIALIZING Flasher User Guide (UM08022) © 2004-2018 SEGGER Microcontroller GmbH...
