Introduction

The GEMINI-1 is a state-of-the-art device
programmer supporting the new range of
In-System Programmable (ISP)
microcontrollers from Philips. These
microcontrollers feature serially
downloadable memory allowing both CODE
and DATA (if device features EEPROM) areas
to be updated in-system without physically
removing the target device from the
application board. The serial programming
is through the on-chip UART.
Please Note:
This programmer is designed for development
use only.
