Table Of Contents - Semtech TS8000 Flash Series Programming Manual

Introduction
Onboard flash programming of the TS8000x allows numerous advantages, including:

Faster time-to-market: If a change is made to the flash memory image, the change can be sent
directly to the manufacturing line, speeding production revision time.

Improved reliability: When the processor is programmed during production, it is assured that
only the most up-to-date version of the firmware will be shipped. In addition, the time and
resources needed to track units to be reworked is eliminated.

Supply chain simplification: Traditionally, manufacturing operations track both programmed
and unprogrammed units, whereas with onboard programming, only unprogrammed flash units
are inventoried.
