SEGGER announces Top-Speed Guarantee for Flasher in-system programmers

SEGGER now guarantees that Flasher is the fastest in-system programmer on the market.

Flashers are guaranteed to have the fastest programming time in the industry, being very close to the theoretical maximum speed achievable for the given hardware. 

This guarantee applies across the entire Flasher product line, including Flasher Pro, Flasher Compact, Flasher Portable PLUS, and Flasher ATE2, and extends to all supported microcontrollers and their connected external memories, such as QSPI flash devices.

“We call this the Top-Speed Guarantee,” says Rolf Segger, founder of SEGGER. “Our goal is, and has always been, to get as close as possible to the theoretical limit imposed by the hardware being programmed. High programming speed is a key success factor at scale, significantly reducing production cycle times and becoming increasingly important as software complexity and code size continue to rise. Production throughput depends upon programming speed, and when programming millions of devices, even one second makes a difference. We have benchmarked other programmers on the market, and our Flashers leave them in the dust every time. We decided it was time to tell the market by giving this guarantee.”

Flashers are designed from the ground up with maximum performance and near-instantaneous response times in mind. The hardware is based on an SoC with FPGA logic and dedicated interface processors, optimized for speed. A highly efficient virtual CPU (based on emApps) provides the flexibility for any possible use case. In combination with advanced flash loaders and Turbo Mode, SEGGER continues to set the benchmark for in-system programming solutions.

SEGGER Flashers support the majority of popular microcontrollers and extend the supported device list of the market-leading debug probe J-Link. 

Their flexible design eliminates virtually all limitations and enables maximum compatibility and speed across modern and legacy devices.
