Supported flash memories

The dedicated flash programming utilities for J-Link can be created for the following
flash memories:
• External NOR flash
• Internal flash
• NAND flash
• Data flash
• SPI flash
In order to use external NOR flash, a CFI compliant flash memory has to be used
because the flash programming utilities use the CFI information to detect the flash
size and sectorization.
4.3.4

How to use the dedicated flash programming utilities

The dedicated flash programming utilities are very simple to use. Every tool expects
a path to a data file (*.bin) passed as a command line parameter, on startup. If no
path is passed the flash programming utility searches for a data in the Samples\
directory. This .bin file has to be named as shown in the table above. For example,
for the Cogent CSB737 Eval board this file is named: CogentCSB737.bin.
4.3.5 Using the dedicated flash programming utilities for pro-
duction and commercial purposes
If you want to use dedicated flash programming utilities for production and commer-
cial purposes you need to obtain a license from SEGGER. In order to obtain a license
for a dedicated flash programming utility, there are two options:
• Purchasing the source code of an existing dedicated flash programming utility
• Purchasing the source code of a dedicated flash programming utility for custom
hardware
The source code can be compiled using a Microsoft Visual C++ V6 or newer compiler.
It contains code which is executed on the target device (RAMCODE). This RAMCODE
may not be used with debug probes other than J-Link.
4.3.5.1 Purchasing the source code of an existing dedicated flash pro-
gramming utility
Purchasing the source code of an existing dedicated flash programming utility
(described above) allows you to use the dedicated flash programming utility for pro-
duction and commercial purposes. Making the resulting executable publicly available
is not permitted.
For more information about the pricing for the source code of existing dedicated flash
programming utilities, please refer to the price list on our website
