TI Delfino MCU gets in-system programming

The in-circuit programming of the F2837xD microcontrollers, which have two real-time control accelerators (CLAs), avoids the limitations associated with traditional programmable devices (On-Socket or Pre-Programmed).

Villotta di Chions-based SMH says the FlashRunner programmer’s open architecture makes its firmware upgradable to also support TI TMS320F2837xD devices.

The dual real-time control subsystems are based on TI’s 32-bit C28x floating-point CPUs with a newly integrated trigonometric math unit are designed to support fast execution of algorithms with trigonometric operations common in transforms and torque loop calculations.

The MCU supports up to 1Mbyte of onboard flash memory with error correction code and up to 204kbyte of SRAM. Two 128-bit secure zones are also available on each CPU for code protection.

The FlashRunner in-circuit programmer is available in the UK from Adaptsys.
