UDE® Memtool FLASH Programmer

UDE® Memtool is a fast, flexible FLASH and OTP memory programmer for development and production. It integrates with the UDE® Universal Debug Engine for on-chip programming during debug and is also available as a standalone tool with automation support. With Gang Programmer control of up to eight stations, it saves time and resources on the line..

  • Specification

UDE® Memtool fits both lab and factory needs. During development, it hooks into the regular UDE® download path and programs FLASH whenever write access is required. In production, the standalone version exposes all functions through COM automation so you can drive repeatable, scripted workflows and integrate with test systems. The Gang Programmer utility scales this further by coordinating up to eight stations from a single host PC.

Memtool handles a wide range of devices and buses. It supports on-chip programming and on-board programming of PCM, FLASH, and OTP. Communication can run over ASC, CAN, ASC+CAN, and JTAG, with RS232 and K-Line available where needed. Features like Transparent Erase Mode, sector-level operations, CRC calculation, UCB handling, and header management for ABM and BMI keep complex jobs simple and reliable.
