Smaller production programming hub

Segger has made a four channel version of is Flasher Hub production IC programmer to save space on the production floor.

‘Flasher Hub-4’ is a compact version of Flasher Hub-12, measuring 125 x 78 x 25mm.

“It is just a little bigger than a standard deck of cards, making it the most compact and efficient control unit on the market today,” said company marketing manager Dirk Akemann.

The hub works with a number of the company’s Flasher Compacts.

“Targets are programmed in parallel with each target receiving its own image,” according to Segger. “All images and all targets can be identical or different. Traditional gang programming is easily achieved by sending the same image to all devices.”

Users can monitor and control the Hub via various interfaces including handshake lines, RS-232, USB or integrated Telnet, web and FTP servers.

Individual programming tasks can be customised with unique serial numbers, patches and licenses in the production environment.

For more then four Flasher Compacts, up to 24 can be connected and controlled using the company’s USB hubs.

The associated software package runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, and gets free software and firmware updates with new features and flashloaders for target devices.
