Silicon Labs MCU Production Programmer
4.80Conveniently employ of the methods included in the Programming Adapters to easily program Silicon Labs devices for prototypes or production
Silicon Labs MCU Production Programmer is a lightweight but effective application designed to help developers program devices and save configuration files. The app provides an overview of production programming options available with Silicon Lab devices.
Generally speaking, programming the aforementioned uninitialized devices can be done via two consecrated methods, namely pre-programming and in-system programming. As the name implies, the in-system method entails that the programming is already installed on the system and requires certain pins to be available.
On the other hand, the pre-programming method means working with devices that are already processed and installed into the system. Therefore, developers do not have to bother with design, but rather just install the corresponding system using a HEX or binary file that is previously acquired from Silicon Labs or their representatives. It is worth mentioning that this method is not flexible and hence may not be suitable for rapid-changing devices.
While both methods are efficient, using the correct one for a given device ultimately depends on whether the developer has access to the debug pins. In case none of them are suitable, then developers can also consider in-house programming, a method suitable for custom devices. After the device is programmed, developers can employ a bootloader to upload app code via UART or other supported interface.
