20

User's Manual U13502EJ2V0UM00

CHAPTER 2 CONFIGURATION

DC JACK

•

This is the power supply input jack of the PG-FP3. To supply power to the PG-FP3, use the AC adapter supplied
as an accessory.

POWER SWITCH

•

This switch turns power to the PG-FP3 on or off. Before turning power on, make sure that all required parts are
connected correctly.

RS-232C CONNECTOR

CHAPTER 2 CONFIGURATION

2.3 CONNECTIONS OF PARTS

This section explains how to connect the various parts of the PG-FP3.

The PG-FP3 can be used in two ways. It can be connected to a host machine and controlled by application
software or it can be used in stand-alone mode without being connected to a host machine. When using the PG-FP3
without being connected to the host machine (i.e., in stand-alone mode), you may skip the description on connection
with the host machine.

Photo 2-1. Connections (Host, PG-FP3, and Target)

Remark

22

When the PG-FP3 is used in stand-alone mode, interfacing with the target must be specified in advance.
To do so, select the device to be used and the communication mode using the application software on
the host machine. The setting information is recorded in the PG-FP3. In stand-alone mode, the PG-FP3
interfaces with the target based on this information.

User's Manual U13502EJ2V0UM00

CHAPTER 2 CONFIGURATION

[Connecting a host machine]

Connection of the host interface cable is illustrated below. Select the host interface before turning on power to
the PG-FP3. The selected host interface cannot be changed after power has been turned on.

Connecting the printer interface cable

•

Set the interface select switch to the printer interface position. Connect the host machine with the printer
interface cable supplied as an accessory. Use the appropriate interface cable for the type of host machine (PC­9800 or PC/AT).
The printer interface cable cannot be used unless the host machine supports bidirectional parallel
communication. Before using this cable, therefore, confirm that the host machine supports bidirectional
communication, compatible mode, and ECP mode.

Photo 2-2. Connecting the Printer Interface Cable (I/F SELECT Switch Set to PRINTER I/F Position)

Connecting the RS-232C interface

•

Set the interface select switch to the RS-232C position, and connect the appropriate RS-232C straight cable to
the RS-232C connector.

User's Manual U13502EJ2V0UM00

CHAPTER 3 STARTING AND STOPPING

If FLASHPRO3 does not start correctly

•

FLASHPRO3 will not start correctly if the communication settings are wrong or if installation has not been
performed correctly.
When FLASHPRO3 starts, connection with the PG-FP3 is checked. If communication is not being performed
normally, the following dialog is displayed.

This dialog is displayed because:

1. The cables are not correctly connected.
Correctly connect the cables. Especially, connect the RS-232C cable correctly because it is a straight
cable.

2. The selected interface is wrong.
Check to see if the setting of the I/F SELECT switch matches the interface used.

3. Setting of Connection Port is wrong.
If the setting of the Port is different from the Port actually being used for the host, set the correct port.

4. A wrong communication rate is set.
The PG-FP3 operates at a communication (baud) rate of 9600 bps on starting if the RS-232C interface is
selected. If a wrong baud rate is set, correct the setting.
There is also a possibility that the communication settings for the RS-232C port are wrong. Also check the
RS-232C port. The correct communication setting is Data: 8 bits, Stop bit: 2 bits, Parity: None, Flow control:
None.

5. Other cases
If all the above are okay but FLASHPRO3 will still not start, either FLASHPRO3 is not correctly installed or
the PG-FP3 is damaged. If FLASHPRO3 will not start after it is installed again, notify NEC.

3.3 INITIALIZATION AND NOTES ON CORRECT USE

Before a target can be accessed with FLASHPRO3, several settings must be perfor med for FLASHPRO3. If these

settings are not done correctly, communication may not be executed correctly or the target may be damaged.

Loading parameter file

•

The parameter file is loaded with the [Setting..Device] command. If the file is not loaded when FLASHPRO3
starts, settings for the target will not be correctly performed. Consequently, communication may fail or the target
may be damaged.

User's Manual U13502EJ2V0UM00

CHAPTER 3 STARTING AND STOPPING

In the TYPE setting dialog box, device-specific information is automatically set when the parameter file has been
loaded, and the text box is grayed out. The parameters that can be changed by the user in this dialog box are as
follows:

1. COMM PORT

Selects the communication mode with the target. The communication modes that can be selected depend
on the device. For details, refer to the manual for the device.
The communication rate can be also changed. The communication rate also depends on the function and
the device operating clock. For details, refer to the manual for the device.

2. ROM TYPE

TM

Usually, only FLASH is set. If the device used has an on-chip EEPROM

, however, the internal data of the

EEPROM can be read to the PG-FP3 by selecting EEPROM.

3. CPU CLOCK

Selects the CPU operating clock. When the FA adapter is used, select In Flashpro to choose a clock from
Flashpro Clock. When the user target board is used, select On target board and enter the clock frequency
of the target board in the text box.
Some devices have a multiply circuit. In this case, enter a multiple for Multiple Rate.

Voltage setting

•

Set the operating voltage of the target. When the [Setting..Voltage] command is executed, the following dialog
box opens.

PP

This dialog box is used to set the operating voltage of the target and the V

voltage. If the parameter file has
been loaded, the default voltages are set automatically. Because some devices allow you to select an operating
voltage, set the voltage according to target conditions.

User's Manual U13502EJ2V0UM00

35

CHAPTER 3 STARTING AND STOPPING

Option setting

•

The Options dialog box is used for detailed setting of the target and is displayed when the [Setting..Option]
command is executed.
This dialog box is used to set the erase time, write time, and convergence time. These parameters are
automatically set to the default values when the parameter file is loaded.
The new values become valid only when the check box is checked before the [Setting..Option] command is
executed.
Do not change these parameter settings unless it is necessary. Changing any of these parameters may damage
the device.

Because the above settings are necessary for correct interfacing with the target, be sure to perform them when
starting FLASHPRO3. The infor mation set is recorded in the PG-FP3 and is used to interface with the target
when the PG-FP3 is used in stand-alone mode. Any setting that is changed can be saved with the [File..Type
Save] command. To perform setting again, use the [File..Load] command.

Caution Load the parameter file each time FLASHPRO3 is started, even though the file was loaded the

previous time FLASHPRO3 was used. The PG-FP3 updates its settings to prevent a wrong
target from being selected by reloading the parameter file each time FLASHPRO3 has been
started. This is done because the target may be damaged if it is accessed with wrong setting
of the parameter file.

3.4 TERMINATING THE APPLICATION

To terminate the application, execute the [File..Exit] command.
After terminating the application, turn off power to the PG-FP3.

Caution The target may be damaged if power to the PG-FP3 is turned off or if the target is disconnected

while a command is being executed. To end operation of the PG-FP3 while a command is being
executed, execute the [Procedure..Cancel] command to cancel the current processing, then
terminate the application and turn off power to the PG-FP3.

CHAPTER 5 COMMAND REFERENCE

Entering a clock frequency in 3-wire or pseudo 3-wire mode (SIO CLOCK)

•

If 3-wire or pseudo 3-wire mode is selected with the serial port, enter a communication rate as a decimal
number. The valid range for communication rates is from 100 Hz to 2.0000 MHz. Be sure to enter the unit also.
Up to six digits can be entered.

Example

100 Hz = 0.1 kHz = 0.0001 MHz
1 MHz = 1000 kHz (1000000 Hz is not recognized because it has 7 digits.)

Caution Generally, high-speed communication cannot be performed in pseudo 3-wire mode. Check the

operation at several hundred Hz and then increase the communication frequency within the
range at which correct operation can be performed. The reason is that it takes a long time to
write or verify programs at a low communication rate.
Some devices do not operate even at the communication rates that can be set for the PG-FP3.
Check the specifications of the device.

Entering a slave address for IIC (SIO CLOCK)

•

If IIC is selected for the serial port, enter a slave address as a hexadecimal number. The valid range is 8 to 77H.
Do not, however, enter the unit. This slave address can take any value within the range, but must not overlap
with the slave address of other devices on IIC.

Entering RAM SIZE

•

This value sets the packet size for communication with the target device and is determined by the parameter
definition information.

Entering the CPU clock source (CPU CLOCK)

•

Selects whether the clock for the target microcontroller is supplied from the PG-FP3.

On target board.......Uses the clock of the target system.

•

The clock is not supplied from the PG-FP3. Open the CLK pin of the target connector.

In Flashpro..............Supplies the clock of the PG-FP3 to the target.

•

Connect the CLK pin of the target connector to the CLK pin of the target microcontroller.
For details of connection, refer to the manual for the device.

Entering the clock frequency of the target system (Target board clock)

•

If [On target board] has been selected when a CPU clock source is being entered, enter a frequency as a
decimal number. The valid range is 1 to 99.999 MHz. Be sure to enter the unit also. Although up to six digits
can be entered, only the first three digits are used.

Example

4.19 MHz = 4190 kHz (4190000 Hz is not recognized because it has seven digits.)
If entered, 3.14159 MHz is recognized as 3.14 MHz.

CHAPTER 5 COMMAND REFERENCE

5.3.4 Verify

The [Verify] command sends the written data from the PG-FP3 and verifies the data written in the flash memory
against the sent data.

This command does not check the write level. Use this command to check whether data communication between
the PG-FP3 and the microcontroller with flash memory has been normally performed.

Execute this command by selecting [Ver ify] from the [Procedure] pull-down menu or by clicking the
button on the operation screen.

All the data loaded into the memory of the PG-FP3 is verified against the data of the target device. If an area is
specified, the data is verified in area units.

This command is usually used to check to see if data has been correctly written after programming.

While verification is being executed, the progress is displayed in the log window, and the Verify LED on the PG-FP3
blinks.

The following messages are displayed in the log window during verification.

NP13 V erifying 10%
NP13 V erifying 20%

CHAPTER 5 COMMAND REFERENCE

5.3.5 E.P.V.

The [E.P.V.] command makes a blank check. If the result is OK, the [Program] command is executed. If the check

finds an error, the [Erase] command and [Program] command are executed in that order.

When writing a delivered device for a second or subsequent time, use this command.
If the user does not know whether the device has been erased, use this command to write the device.

Execute this command by selecting [E.P.V.] from the [Procedure] pull-down menu or by clicking the

button on the operation screen.

While the command is being executed, the progress is displayed in the log window. At the same time, the Erase,
Program, and Verify LEDs on the PG-FP3 light and the LED corresponding the command currently being executed
blinks.

The display in the log window is the same as that for each individual command.

The address range during command execution depends on the currently set mode (Chip, Block, or Area) and the
range setting condition. In CHIP mode, all space on the target is erased, programmed, or verified. In BLOCK and
AREA modes, only the specified address range is erased, programmed, or verified. When executing [E.P.V.] in a mode
other than CHIP, therefore, you must specify an address range.

Caution Avoid using this command for the device erased by the [Erase] command. The blank check level

of the [E.P.V.] command is the same as that of the [Erase] command. Even if the device has been
erased, the blank check by this command would detect an error, owing to voltage fluctuations in
operation. If this occurs, the device would be erased again.

5.3.6 Chip set/Block set/Area set

[Chip set/Block set/Area set] selects an operating mode. The display for the command changes depending on the
condition of the current mode.

Some devices do not have segment modes such as BLOCK and AREA, or only have one or the other of the
modes. Any mode not available to the device is not displayed.

The following explanation assumes that a device with all of the modes (CHIP, BLOCK, and AREA) is being used.
Execution of a command is always started in CHIP mode, and the mode changes as follows each time a command
has been ex ec uted .

CHIP → BLOCK → AREA → CHIP

…

At the same time, the command display and the button display on the operation screen change.

Before executing the Chip set/Block set/Area set command, load the parameter file. Before executing the
command, check that the target device is connected. When the command is executed, the application addresses the
device according to the parameter file information and device signature information.

If the parameter file is not loaded or if the target device is not connected, correct addressing may not be performed,
resulting in a malfunction.

Execute this command to change the mode by selecting [Chip set/Block set/Area set] from the [Procedure] pull­down menu or by clicking the

, , or button on the operation screen.

The specifications of the RS-232C interface are as follows:

Table 7-4. RS-232C Interface Specifications

Item Specification

Interface connector D-SUB 25-pin (receptacle) standard: RDEF-9S-LNA, m anufacturer:

Communication

settings

Data: 8 bits

Stop bit: 2 bits

Parity bit: None

Flow control: None

If the RS-232C interface is selected when the PG-FP3 starts, the default baud rate of 9600 bps is set. Unless the
baud rate of the application is also 9600 bps on startup, the PG-FP3 cannot connect to the host, possibly causing the
Connection Port error dialog box to open. If this happens, correct the setting.

Figure 7-2. Communication Error Dialog Box

If communication is not performed correctly, the Connection Port and communication settings are probably wrong.
Check the settings. For information on performing communication settings, refer to the Windows manual.

The interface connector specifications and interface cable specifications are given on the next page.

CHAPTER 7 HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS

7.4 TARGET INTERFACE SPECIFICATIONS

The target interface has signals such as GND, SI, SO, SCK, CLK, _RESET, VDD, VPP, and HS. These signals are

used to connect the target. For the information on the required signal lines, refer to the user's manual for each device.

The PG-FP3 comes with two types of cables that can be used to connect the target. Use of these cables is

recommended.

The target interface is provided with a protection circuit that protects the PG-FP3 from damage due to input of an
overvoltage from an external source. This protection circuit disconnects from the target a signal line that may cause
damage if a signal line with a voltage higher than the rated voltage is connected to the interface by mistake. The
circuit also informs the user of the abnormal condition. If an abnormal condition is detected, check whether the
interface is correctly connected and whether the target is normal. The overvoltage level each signal line of the
interface can withstand is shown below. If a voltage exceeding this level is applied to a signal line, the PG-FP3 may be
damaged.

CHAPTER 7 HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS

7.4.1 Interface Specifications

Use the target interface connector to interface with the target.
Bear in mind the following points when connecting the target and designing the target board.

Supply voltage and operating clock of target

•

Basically, supply the power and operating clock to the microcontroller from the target board when programming
its flash memory. Power can be also supplied from the PG-FP3, but

entire target cannot be supplied

. In addition, the frequency of the clock that can be supplied from the PG-FP3

a current high enough to operate the

is limited to 16, 8, 4, and 2 MHz.
When supplying power and a clock from the PG-FP3, use a dedicated writing adapter such as the FA adapter
The level of each interface signal is conver ted in the PG-FP3 at the operating voltage (VDD). Therefore, even

DD

when the power supply (V

) on the user target is used, connect the VDD line to the target. With a device using
two supply voltages and requiring interface signals of different levels, output either of the voltage levels from the
PG-FP3, and convert the level of the signal with the different signal level on the target.

Signal conflict

•

If an output from another device is connected to the serial interface pin and reset pin, a signal conflict or
malfunction may occur. If this occurs, either isolate the connection with the other device, or make the output
from the other device high impedance. Exercise care so that the target is not inadvertently reset during
programming.

Connection of serial port

•

When programming flash memory using a UART or SIO, match the input/output of the SI and SO signals when
connecting the SI (RxD) and SO (TxD) signals of the PG-FP3 to the SI (RxD) and SO (TxD) of the target.

Note

When interfacing with IIC, the SI pin of the PG-FP3 serves as a SD (serial data) line. Therefore, connect the
SCK and SI pin.

[Cable specifications]

Two types of target interface cables (IC clip type (TYPE 1) and connector type (TYPE 2)) are supplied. Use the
appropriate cable for the situation.
If the supplied cables cannot be used because of the specifications of the target and the user prepares a cable,
keep the cable length to within 40 cm and use materials with frequency characteristics equivalent to those of the
supplied cables.
Note, however, that an error may occur during communication and operation may not be performed correctly if a
cable other than those supplied is used because communication rate is too high for the communication setting.
The following are the specifications for each cable.

APPENDIX A NOTES ON DESIGNING A TARGET

Design a board using a flash microcontroller if you want to study the possibility of on-board writing.

Pin processing

•

The target may have pins that require special processing when the mode is changed from normal operating
mode to flash memory programming mode, or pins that go to high-impedance during programming. In a mode
in which the operation of the microcontroller is stopped by pin processing, the programming operation cannot be
performed. Therefore, be sure to read the manual for the device before creating the target.

Interface circuit for the PG-FP3

•

Interface circuit examples for a UART (asynchronous communication port) and SIO (3-wire clocked port) are

DD

given below. Because the PG-FP3 senses the voltage on the target even when V
be sure to connect the VDD pin. For information on pin processing of the device, be sure to refer to the manual
for the device used.
