Looking for low-cost programmer for ARM devices

ARM programming

Hello,

I'm looking for low-cost programmer for ARM devices.
I have found ISP Flash Utility program from philips but i can't understand how to use it. Do i need to write a bootloader program to use this flash utility?
Can someone help?

Re: ARM programming

There are ARM devices from a number of companies and the way these are programmed varies somewhat. If the device does not have built in eeprom, then it is more a question of programming the rom/(e)eprom device.

Most probably have a JTAG interface which can be used to program and debug the device with the right combination of development software and firmware.

So you need to look at specific device and see what is available for that device.

You mentioned Philips. They have a series of ARM chips named LPC2000.
The software you mention is used to program these devices inbuilt eeprom via the serial (RS232) interface. This software only works with these chips. These chips can also be programmed via the JTAG port.

Here are some links for more info.
