3.1.9：Add Firmware Method

In the PowerWriter® software:

  • Select Chip.
  • In "Program Memory", "Add Firmware" and "Apply Firmware".
  • Click Full Function Auto programming.
  • After the programming test is normal, you can save this project, and next time you can re-open it to programming directly.

3：Multi-zone firmware​

The file belongs to the multi-segment firmware, this situation is normal, need to be added, multi-segment firmware, the first section on-demand loading, because: developers in the project using the definition of the section, or sct file, the definition of the segment information, the PowerWriter® will automatically recognize the inside of the Segment (section information) Due to this segmentation of the firmware, the inside of the section, there will be Because of this kind of segmented firmware, there will be dummy byte (padding byte, default is 0xff), PowerWriter® will remove the default padding when loading, and only take out the effective length of the firmware (this can speed up the programming speed, avoid writing dummy byte when programming), and other blocks such as boot code, vector table, bootloader code, application/user data/option byte, etc. to show the user which blocks need to be loaded to programming, the user can choose according to the need, or load multiple times.

tip

Segmented firmware can be added at once using the merge function. PowerWriter® will merge all segments by default, but please note that if the firmware contains segments that exceed the Flash space, it will indicate that the capacity is exceeded and cannot be added.
