Market leading production tools
Flasher
SEGGER's in-circuit flash programmers are fast, robust, reliable, and easy to use. Whether the focus is on size, flexibility, portability, security, or mass production, the SEGGER Flasher Family has the perfect programmer for the task at hand.
Overview
SEGGER Flashers are a family of professional in-circuit programmers, designed to be used in service environments, prototype programming, and for mass production. They program the flash (non-volatile) memory of microcontrollers and Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) as well as attached SPI-style flashes with single, quad, octa, and hexadeca data transfer buses.
Flashers work with a PC or in stand-alone mode, connect via USB and/or Ethernet (Flasher PRO, Flasher PRO XL, Flasher Portable PLUS and Flasher ARM), and are multi-platform for Linux, macOS and Windows.
Flashers PRO, Compact, and ARM, have a standard internal memory of 128 megabytes to store firmware images and programming configurations. They are designed to handle any flash programming requirements. Where larger images need to be programmed, the Flasher PRO XL comes into play. With its huge memory capacity, it can also program target systems running large footprint OSes such as Android, Linux, Windows IoT. For integration into space-limited production environments, like production rigs or automated test equipment (ATE), the Flasher Compact is ideal.
Key features
- Includes software and firmware updates
- Includes use on all supported target devices
- No additional licenses required. No hidden costs. No future costs.
Supported devices
SEGGER Flashers support writing to a wide range of flash memories using either the programming interface or the debug interface of the CPU. The list of supported manufacturers, families and devices and SoCs includes support for tens of thousands of devices in hundreds of device families with billions of devices programmed.

Models
Flasher PRO
The “almost-anything” flash programmer
The Flasher PRO is SEGGER’s full-featured, in-circuit, universal flash programmer for microcontrollers and SoCs as well as (Q)SPI flashes.
Flasher PRO XL
The universal flash programmer for huge images
The Flasher PRO XL is a Flasher PRO with extra-large memory capacity, designed to program huge images for use during the production programming process.
Flasher Compact
The space-efficient programmer
The Flasher Compact is a space-efficient twin to the Flasher PRO, primarily designed for installation into production rigs or automated test equipment (ATE) where no ethernet connection is required.
Flasher ARM
The flash programmer for microcontrollers on ARM core
The Flasher ARM is SEGGER’s full-featured, in-circuit, flash programmer specifically limited to ARM-based microcontrollers.
Flasher Portable PLUS
The battery-powered portable service programmer
The Flasher Portable PLUS is a handheld, battery-driven, stand alone flash programmer, designed to meet the need for an extremely portable, production-grade flash programmer for in-field firmware updates.
Flasher Secure
The secure flash programmer
The Flasher Secure is a mass production programming system, capable of protecting the vendor’s IP regardless of the production site.
Flasher ATE
The Modular System for Parallel Programming
The Flasher ATE uses a communication main board that distributes the commands received from an ATE, ICT or a similar automated production handler system to the attached programming modules.
Flasher Hub-12
High-volume gang programming at maximum speed
The Flasher Hub-12 is a highly scalable solution for gang programming. It allows connection of up to 12 Flasher Compacts.
