UDE MemTool Utility - Tool for FLASH Memory Programming and OTP Memory Programming

UDE MemTool is designed for On-Chip FLASH/OTP programming and On-Board FLASH programming with microcontroller hardware systems using ARM, XScale and PowerPC derivatives. UDE MemTool runs under Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Versions of MemTool

UDE MemTool Add-In .. is a part of the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) debugging environmentand allows the FLASH/OTP programming during the development cycle inside of UDE. MemTool observes the download path and runs the programming process when requested.

UDE Standalone MemTool .. comes with a separate front-end interface as standalone tool outside of UDE. All programming functions are available also via standard COM automation interfaces. Using these interfaces, the features of MemTool may be integrated into automatic production and test systems or can be executed via scripts.

General Features

• High-speed data communication by using the debug channel between target system and the debugging tool Universal Debug Engine based on the fast-PC6x or Access Device Communication Hardware
• Automatic adaptation of data to be programmed to the smallest memory block size by automatic read operations
• Easy-to-Use: FLASH programming can be integrated in the debugger-to-target program download.
• Transparent Erase Mode: previous bank read and bank erase simulate random access for non-bytewiseerasable FLASH memories

Functions of UDE MemTool

UDE MemTool offers following functions (depending on the type of memory)

• Erasing the entire memory module
• Erasing selected sectors of the memory module
• Loading Intel Hex and Motorola S-Record files
• Programming all or selected portions of the file into the memory module
• Comparing all or selected portions of the file to the current contents of the memory module
• Read back and save-to-disk of the current memory content
• Setting and Resetting the Chip/Sector Protection (On-Chip only)
• Calculating CRC sums of sections
• Watchdog handling for some derivatives.

MemTool can handle more than one memory module on the target system and is only using On-Chip RAM for execution (IRAM, XRAM when available).
