Automatic serial number generation in the MCU

AN2614

8/12

●

Prompt for new programming cycle: If the same programming procedure needs to be

repeated for several microcontrollers, a dialog box appears at the end of each

programming cycle and asks if the same programming cycle is to be restarted.

To program an MCU repeatedly, the following boxes should be ticked:

●

Verify after programming

●

Display a popup window when an error occurs

●

Prompt for new programming cycle (optional)

The above assumes that the MCU is blank. If it has to be erased first, the following two

boxes should also be checked:

●

Blank check before programming

●

Erase device memory before programming

If the read-out protection was previously activated, the following box should also be

checked:

●

Unlock protection before a programming cycle

Serial number definition

The serial numbering window can automatically generate and write serial numbers into the

memory of the MCU. Automatic serial numbering is defined by specifying:

●

The memory address where it is to be programmed, for example 1000h

●

The length (in bytes), for example 4

●

The starting value: Any value specified by the customer, for example 00000000h

–

This is the serial number to be programmed in the MCU

●

The step increment value: Any value specified by the customer, for example 1122h

Serial number settings are shown in Figure 2: Serial number settings on page 9.
