Chip programming industry leader-ACROVIEW Technology recently released the latest programming software update and a list of newly supported chip models. Among them, NXP NXP's Bulk regulator and controller with voltage monitor and watchdog are automotive-grade System Basis Chip (SBC) FS5600 has been supported by Oncor's universal programming platform AP8000.

The ESP8285 provides a highly integrated WiFi chip solution to meet the continuous demands of users for efficient power usage, compact design and reliable performance in the IoT industry. With complete and independent WiFi network capabilities, the ESP8285 can execute as a standalone application or as a slave device to a host MCU.

ESP8285 is actually an upgraded version of ESP8266, both can share the same set of SDK, but ESP8285 integrates 1MB Flash, SPI Mode is set to DOUT, while ESP8266 needs external Flash and is in Din mode. In addition, ESP8285 has additional GPIO9 and GPIO10 for users to use than ESP8266. The packet loss phenomenon of this chip is not serious.

The AP8000 universal writer independently developed by Angke Technology includes three parts: the host, the bottom plate, and the adapter seat. The host supports USB and NET connections, allowing multiple programmers to be networked to achieve the purpose of simultaneously controlling multiple programmers and burning at the same time. The built-in chip safety protection circuit ensures that even if the chip is reversed or short-circuited due to other reasons, it can be detected immediately and power off to ensure the safety of the chip and the programmer. Embedded high-speed FPGA greatly accelerates data transmission and processing. There is an SD card slot on the back of the host. Put the project file created by the PC software in the root directory of the SD card and insert it into the card slot. Through the buttons on the programmer, the project file can be selected, loaded, and burned, etc. Command, in order to achieve the purpose of being able to operate without the PC, which greatly reduces the cost of PC hardware configuration, and is convenient and quick to match the working environment.

AP8000 makes the host more expandable by adding an adapter board to the base plate. At present, it has supported devices produced by all mainstream semiconductor manufacturers, including TI, ST, MicroChip, Atmel, Hynix, Macronix, Micron, Samsung, Toshiba, etc. The supported device types are NAND, NOR, MCU, CPLD, FPGA, EMMC, etc., and file formats including Intel Hex, Motorola S, Binary, POF, etc. are supported.
