Category: FPGA-based Fast Programming (FFP)

In recent years, the increasing size of flash memory has driven device programming to offline methods. However, new techniques are significantly reducing in-system programming times, making it much more feasible and convenient to program flash memory after itโ€™s already been soldered to the board.
Boundary scan is known to be quite slow to program large flash devices. But, with a new approach using SPI Master IP within an FPGA, flash programming time can be decreased by a factor of 15 or more.
