UDE MemTool is designed for programming on-chip FLASH and external FLASH/OTP memory devices. As a stand-alone tool, the UDE MemTool can be used during the complete development cycle: manual device programming during software development, for automated production and within test systems. It can also be seamlessly integrated into the Universal Debug Engine (UDE).

All programming functions of UDE MemTool are accessible for automated use and scripting via a COM-based software API. This allows an easy integration into automatic production and test systems. The UDE Gang Programmer extension uses up to eight instances of UDE MemTool to program multiple FLASH memory devices simultaneously. This saves time and optimizes the use of resources in production environments.

For communication and data transfer to the target’s on-chip FLASH or external FLASH/OTP memories via JTAG or other debug interfaces, the devices UAD2pro/UAD2next/UAD3+ of the Universal Access Device-family are used. Moreover UDE MemTool supports also chip-specific ASC or CAN bootstrap loaders as well as host-target communication via a RS232 host interface (COMx) or the K-Line interface.
