Burning code to Cortex-M3 MCUs

[Jeffin90620]

I have a project that could benefit from the LabVIEW Embedded development system for the ARM Cortex-M3.  There isn't enough money in the project to justify buying the development system, so we would have to rent it.

However, I haven't been able to locate any information here on burning code to MCU chips as they roll off the production line in the future.  I have considered using the JTAG port, but 3rd party programmers are in the $3,000 range.

What low-cost solutions do you recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Hello jeff,

                 Without JATG programmer also we can download code in our kit by serial or USB communication.

Thanks for your quick reply.

However, I am puzzled.  It seems you are referring to a development board that can be loaded with code in at least 3 different ways.  I already know which development board I want to use.  My problem is that I haven't found a low-cost means of loading program code into an MCU in a production environment.

I want rent the Cortex-M3 development system and develop the code.  Then, I want to be able to download that code into Cortex-M3 MCUs at any time, even after the rental period has expired.

What I am asking for is advice on how to do this without unnecessary expense.  I am trying to find the information on the net, but am apparently not using the correct search terms because I keep getting presented with extraneous information.

Hi Jeff,

One my colleagues has a Microchip PICkit, which works like a flash drive for storing the Microchip code and downloading the code to any chip with the push of a button. It was about $40, and it really seems like what you're looking for. Since you're using the Cortex-M3, I suggest that you contact Texas Instruments, who manufacture that chip, to see if they have anything similar for their hardware.

Good luck!

LaRisa,

Thanks.  Should have thought of that.
