Intended for production and development, this Phyton tool supports Flash programming of Cypress Semiconductor PSOC1 and PSOC3 devices. It supports SPI and other serial Flash memory devices as well as such popular 8- and 16-bit microcontroller families (i.e., PIC™, AVR™, 89C5x, Z8®, and others). Programming other complex 32-bit MCU architectures and PLDs may require purchasing additional device library licenses from Phyton. The programmer can be controlled either from a computer or in standalone mode. Up to 72 CPI2-B1-CY8C programmers can be driven from one PC. Working in the gang mode, multiple programmers can concurrently flash different device types on a multi-PCB panel.
