Programming parts in production (IAR trouble)

Started by Dan Miner April 8, 2005
For production our manufacturer has integrated the PRGS-430 serial
programmer into their ATE test jig and I supply an intel hex image
file for them to load.

The IAR toolset can produce 3 separate image files from a single link
invocation.  I routinely use the standard debug format with C-Spy,
intel hex for the TI serial loader and Moto S-Record for my serial
loader used to update units in the field.
