Program embedded systems
Program devices securely and efficiently with SEGGER Flashers for high-volume mass-production and gang programming.
Why reliable programming matters
Reliable programming lies at the core of modern electronics manufacturing, and SEGGER’s Flashers deliver robust, secure, and scalable solutions for every programming requirement — from prototype testing to high-volume production. Transferring firmware to a microcontroller’s flash memory, a key step in the programming process, demands speed, efficiency, and reliability.
SEGGER Flashers are a professional line of in-circuit programmers (ICP) designed for use in service environments, prototype programming, and mass production. They are capable of programming non-volatile flash memory in microcontrollers, Systems-on-Chip (SoCs), and external SPI-style flash memory, and they can support both serial and parallel data transfer over multiple I/O pins.
Use cases
SEGGER’s Flasher solutions optimize microcontroller programming across diverse scenarios. From prototype testing to secure high-volume production, SEGGER’s Flashers are designed to meet the needs of every stage of the manufacturing process.
In-field firmware updates for remote devices
To update firmware on devices deployed in remote locations, technicians can use SEGGER’s Flasher's Portable PLUS to program each microcontroller directly in the field.
Instead of returning devices for updates, users can employ these single-programming tools to provide reliable, precise firmware updates, saving time and costs while keeping all devices up-to-date and operational.
High-volume gang programming for consumer electronics
For high-demand consumer electronics, production speed is critical. The Flasher Hub-12 and Hub-4 paired with Flasher Compact units create a powerful gang programming solution, enabling simultaneous programming of multiple devices. This setup maximizes throughput while minimizing the physical footprint required, making it perfect for automated production lines where space and efficiency are priorities.
With the ability to control multiple Flashers at once, SEGGER’s gang programming solutions support fast, scalable production with minimal downtime.
Single programming
Single-programming devices are designed to program individual microcontrollers, SoCs, or memory components with specific firmware, making them ideal for production environments or in-field updates. SEGGER’s Flasher series provides reliable, high-quality programming solutions tailored to various needs. Each device offers unique features to support efficient, precise programming in diverse applications.
Gang programming
In electronics and manufacturing, gang programming is a highly efficient method for programming multiple devices simultaneously. This approach is particularly beneficial in scenarios where large numbers of microcontrollers or other programmable devices need to be programmed quickly and accurately.
SEGGER offers several cost-effective gang programming solutions for high-volume production programming.
Secure programming
In today’s production landscape, secure programming is especially important. Unauthorized access to firmware can lead to IP theft, unauthorized production, or device tampering. SEGGER’s Flasher Secure mitigates these risks by embedding security features that ensure only authorized code is programmed, protecting intellectual property at every stage of the production process.
Flasher Secure
The secure flash programmer
The Flasher Secure is a programming system for use in mass production. It is capable of protecting a vendor’s IP, regardless of the production site where it is used.
