2.6 Standalone Mode
2.6.1 Overview
In 'Standalone Mode', the programmer is not connected to the PC and is controlled via the <YES>
and <NO> push buttons on the front panel instead. This is ideal for both field and production ISP
requirements as the programming data is held locally in FLASH memory on the programmer so a PC
is not required.
The LED Status Indicators are used to display the current status of the programmer. A single
'Programming Project' must be uploaded to the programmer using the EQTools 'Upload Wizard'
before the programmer can be operated in Standalone Mode.
2.6.2 Steps required before operating the programmer in Standalone Mode
Before operating the programmer in Standalone Mode, you will need to:
•
Create a Development Mode Project in EDS
•
Use EDS to test that all the project parameters are correct by attempting to program the
FLASH, EEPROM, Fuses and Security Options of the Target Chip
•
Once you are happy that the EDS project is working correctly, you then need to export
your EDS project to Project Builder.
•
Compile the Project in Project Builder
•
Add the Project to a Project Collection using Project Manager
•
Upload the Project Collection to the attached programmer using Upload Wizard.
