P89LPC9408
8-bit two-clock 80C51 core with 32 segment × 4 LCD driver, 10-bit ADC
7.29.5 Flash programming and erasing
Four different methods of erasing or programming of the flash are available. The flash may
be programmed or erased in the end-user application (IAP) under control of the
application’s firmware. Another option is to use the ICP mechanism. This ICP system
provides for programming through a serial clock - serial data interface. As shipped from
the factory, the upper 512 bytes of user code space contains a serial ISP routine allowing
for the device to be programmed in circuit through the serial port. The flash may also be
programmed or erased using a commercially available EPROM programmer which
supports this device. This device does not provide for direct verification of code memory
contents. Instead, this device provides a 32-bit CRC result on either a sector or the entire
user code space.
7.29.6 In-Circuit Programming
In-Circuit Programming is performed without removing the microcontroller from the
system. The ICP facility consists of internal hardware resources to facilitate remote
programming of the P89LPC9408 through a two-wire serial interface. The Philips ICP
facility has made ICP in an embedded application—using commercially available
programmers—possible with a minimum of additional expense in components and circuit
board area. The ICP function uses five pins. Only a small connector needs to be available
to interface your application to a commercial programmer in order to use this feature.

P89LPC9408 User manual

7.29.7 In-Application Programming
In-Application Programming is performed in the application under the control of the
microcontroller’s firmware. The IAP facility consists of internal hardware resources to
facilitate programming and erasing. The Philips IAP has made IAP in an embedded
application possible without additional components. Two methods are available to
accomplish IAP. A set of predefined IAP functions are provided in a Boot ROM and can be
called through a common interface, PGM_MTP. Several IAP calls are available for use by
an application program to permit selective erasing and programming of flash sectors,
pages, security bits, configuration bytes, and device ID. These functions are selected by
setting up the microcontroller’s registers before making a call to PGM_MTP at FF03H.
The Boot ROM occupies the program memory space at the top of the address space from
FF00H to FEFFH, thereby not conflicting with the user program memory space.
In addition, IAP operations can be accomplished through the use of four SFRs consisting
of a control/status register, a data register, and two address registers. Additional details
may be found in the
P89LPC9408 User manual
.
7.29.8 ISP
ISP is performed without removing the microcontroller from the system. The ISP facility
consists of a series of internal hardware resources coupled with internal firmware to
facilitate remote programming of the P89LPC9408 through the serial port. This firmware is
provided by Philips and embedded within each P89LPC9408 device. The Philips ISP
facility has made ISP in an embedded application possible with a minimum of additional
expense in components and circuit board area. The ISP function uses five pins (V
DD
,V
SS
,
TXD, RXD, and RST). Only a small connector needs to be available to interface your
application to an external circuit in order to use this feature.
