New Features / Functionality

 

New features in Build 1095….

 

1. Various cosmetic changes

 

New features in Build 1092….

 

1. Additional diagnostics are now logged to the database

When an AUTOPROGRAM project is executed, additional diagnostic data is now written back to the database. This additional data includes the “Measured Target Current” and the “Measured Target Voltage”.

 

2. Additional communications debugging

The communications debugging has been improved in this version to better represent commands send from and received by ISP-PRO. This should help to better diagnose programming problems in multi-channel systems.

 

New features in Build 1087….

 

1. Boot up network scan is now much faster

When ISP-PRO is initially launched, it scans the RS485 network looking for all attached programmers. This scan process has now been speeded up so launching ISP-PRO on a multi-channel system should now be much faster.

 

1. Multiple programmer re-tries disabled

When ISP-PRO scans each programmer it was re-trying up to 3 times if it failed to get a response. The re-try mechanism has now been changed and it will only re-try once. This should speed up the scanning of multi-channel networks.

 

 

New features in Build 1084….

 

1. Programmer Status display messages updated

Many of the ‘Programmer Status messages’ have been updated to make it clearer what state a programmer is in.

 

2. AT91SAM7 – Signature Check

In previous versions of ISP-PRO, if the Signature Check of an AT91SAM7 device failed, then it would report ‘Failed to enter programming mode’. This has now been changed to report ‘Incorrect signature’.

 

 

New features in Build 1077….

 

1. Setup screen supports selection of one script for all channels

The latest version of ISP-PRO now supports selection of a single ‘Programming Script File’ (*.esf) for all programming channels. A single *.esf file can be selected by clicking the buttons and then selecting a single file. This *.esf file is then automatically set for all selected channels.

 

 

New features in Build 1072….

 

1. ISP-PRO now supports up to 32 programmers

The latest version of ISP-PRO now supports controlling of up to 32 programmers from a single session of ISP-PRO. It is possible to network up to 32 x PPM4-MK1 or ISPnano programmers via RS485 to a single COM port. Each programmer must have a unique ‘Node Address’ in the range of 0 to 31.

 

2. Enhanced diagnostics

The latest version of ISP-PRO now supports enhanced diagnostics for Atmel AT91SAM7 microcontrollers. If a device fails to program for any reason a comprehensive set of diagnostics is written to the database. This should make diagnosis of any programming problems much simpler.

 

 

New features in Build 1008….

 

1. Upload Wizard is now integrated into ISP-PRO

  • The ‘Upload Wizard’ utility is now automatically installed within the main ISP-PRO installation.
  • This utility supports uploading of Programming Projects to any attached Equinox Programmer(s).
  • It is now no longer necessary to shell back to EQTools to upload projects so EQTools need not be installed on the PC running ISP-PRO.

 

2. Upload Wizard automatically selects correct Project Collection to upload

  • When a Programming Script (*.esf) is selected, the ISP-PRO / Upload Wizard will automatically prompt for the relevant Project Collection (*.ppc) and Programming Projects to upload to the programmer.
  • This helps to automate the process of changing scripts in production as an operator is now told which projects to upload to the programmer.

 

3. New ‘Fast Mode’ in Upload Wizard

The latest version of Upload Wizard now supports automatically changing the baud rate to a faster speed during the project upload process. This can speed up project uploading significantly.

 

4. Enhanced Error messages in Production Mode

  • If an error occurs in ‘Production Mode’, the error message is now displayed on the screen underneath the relevant channel icon.
  • The full error message can also be viewed by hovering over the truncated error message.

 

5. Reading / Validating of the ‘JTAG ID’ support

  • It is now possible to read the 4-byte ‘JTAG ID’ from any Atmel AVR or generic JTAG device.
  • This version of ISP-Pro supports reading / validating of the JTAG ID both in a Script and in a Standalone Project.
  • This feature must be enabled in the Script / Project.
  • If the ‘Silicon Revision’ is to be ignored then simply set the first digit of the hex JTAG ID to 0x0.
  • The JTAG ID is written to the ‘Signature’ field in the Interface Database.

 

6. Programming of Atmel 24Cxxx Serial EEPROM devices is now supported

  • This version introduces the ability to program Atmel 24Cxxx Serial EEPROM devices.

 

 

7. Independent validation of EEPROM Read parameters

New functionality has been added in ISP-PRO build 1008 to allow EEPROM parameters to be read back from a Target IC, stored in the database and then independently validated to make sure the parameter is within specified limits.

 

The parameter validation can now be performed AFTER all the EEPROM parameters have been read back from the Target IC and stored in the database. This means that if one of the parameter validations fails because the value is not in limits, the script will still have written all the parameters to the database.

 

8. Enhanced COM port and handling

The COM port handling has been improved in build 1008 to handle possible exception errors which could be generated by unplugging ‘USB to Serial Convertor’ cables during the normal operation of ISP-PRO.

 

A new ‘Scan port’ function has also been added which scans the available COM ports on the PC.

 

 

Upgrading from ISP-PRO Version 2.xx

 

 

***************** Important Notes *****************

 

1. ISP-PRO Version 3.xx is NOT backwards compatible with Version 2.xx

q       Any existing projects or scripts compiled under EQTools Version 1 will NOT execute under ISP-PRO Version 3.xx.

q       Please back up any project files compiled under Version 1 before installing Version 3.

 

2. ISP-PRO Version 2 and 3 can be installed on the same PC

It is possible to run both versions of EQTools on the same but not at the same time.

This is possible by installing each version in a different directory.

egg.

ISP-PRO Version 2.x.x – c:\program files\ISPPRO

ISP-PRO Version 3.x.x – c:\program files\ISPPRO_V3

 

Please note:

q       The ISP-PRO entry in the registry will always point to the last installed version i.e. Version 3.

q       To run Version 2, browse to c:\program files\ISPPRO and double-click the icon.

 

 

3. ISP-PRO Version 3.x requires programmer firmware version 2.xx

 

ISP-PRO V3.x will NOT work with programmer firmware V1.xx so if you wish to run both versions of EQTools you would really need to have two programmers, one with V1.xx firmware and one with V2.xx firmware.

 

 

Software Installation Instructions

 

1. Back up any projects, scripts etc. from your previous version of ISP-PRO

 

2. Back up your Interface Database if you wish to retain the data in the database after the installation. The database can be found in \program files\equinox\db.

 

2. Uninstall the previous version of ISP-PRO

 

3. Unzip the ISP-PRO installation program and then double-click on it to run the install.

q       Follow all the on-screen instructions

q       If you wish to perform a full installation including the installation of the latest blank Interface Database,

q       If you wish to install the ISP-Pro application without installing the new database, select on the screen.

q       If you wish to choose which components to install, select on the screen.

q       Once the installation is complete, select
--> ISP-PRO will launch

q       Select and check that you are running the correct version.
