™ NuMicro NuGang Programmer User Manual 1 Introduction The “NuGang Programmer” provides the four-chip gang programming functionality, which is designed especially for mass-production in the customer site. After online downloading the programming data into the programmer, user may start the off-line gang programming by pressing the AUTO-key on the programmer. The Picture of “NuGang Programmer”...
2.2 Installing the Application Program Doubly-click the setup file included in the folder [(2) Application Program] to install the application program. After the installation is completed successfully, a new item “Nuvoton Tools \ Nuvoton NuGang Programmer, v?.??” will appear in the Windows START-menu.
™ NuMicro NuGang Programmer User Manual 3 Starting to Use the NuGang Programmer The NuGang Programmer always functions as an ‘ICP Gang Programmer’ for the NuMicro family products. 3.1 Example-1: NUC140VE3AN To do the ICP gang programming for NUC140VE3AN, please follow the steps below: Step 1: Set the programmer type as ‘ICP Gang Programmer’...
™ NuMicro NuGang Programmer User Manual 3.2 Example-2: M0516LBN To do the ICP gang programming for M0516LBN, please follow the steps below: Step 1: Set the programmer type as ‘ICP Gang Programmer’ (set as default). Step 2: Select the wanted part number (e.g. M0516LBN). Step 3: Load the programming data into APROM/DataFlash/LDROM buffers by clicking ‘...
™ NuMicro NuGang Programmer User Manual 3.3 Verifying Single Chip Although the gang programming operation (by pressing the AUTO-key) includes verifying a chip, user may verify the chip again. To verify a single chip, please follow the steps below: Step 1: Set the programmer type as ‘ICP Gang Programmer’ (set as default). Step 2: Select the wanted part number.
™ NuMicro NuGang Programmer User Manual 3.4 Verifying All Chips In NuGang Programmer v6.02, a special mode, Verify mode, can be used to verify all chips placed in the sockets simultaneously. To enter Verify mode, please follow the steps below: Step 1: Right-click the window header and invoke the Advanced Functions command for further settings.
™ NuMicro NuGang Programmer User Manual 3.5 Reading Chip To dump the chip’s contents, please follow the steps below: Step 1: Set the programmer type as ‘ICP Gang Programmer’ (set as default). Step 2: Select the wanted part number. Step 3: Read the chip. Note: The chip can be dumped only when it was not locked.
™ NuMicro NuGang Programmer User Manual 3.6 Updating Chips In addition to off-line gang programming (by pressing the AUTO-key on the programmer), you can also do online gang programming by clicking the Update Chips button on the GUI, as shown below. Note: Before starting online operation, ‘Download Programmer’...
™ NuMicro NuGang Programmer User Manual 3.7 Automatic Detection of ‘Chip-Removed-then-Placed’ Every time the gang programming is finished, the green/red LEDs on the adapter board will keep showing the last programming result until pressing the AUTO-key next. Sometimes the operator might forget to press the AUTO-key after placing new chips into the sockets, thus the new chips are un-programmed and regarded as programmed ‘PASS’.
™ NuMicro NuGang Programmer User Manual 4 Tool Project File (TPJ) All the GUI settings can be saved into a Tool Project (TPJ) file and retrieved by loading the previously saved TPJ file. A variety of programming data can be managed by the ‘project’ type. The GUI settings or the contents of the TPJ file include: (1) Programmer type (2) Part number...
