Simplifying in-system programming: evolving standards for ISP
Bryon Moyer · 2003
Traditional single-chip programming techniques for Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) have rapidly been replaced by the in-system programming (ISP) of chains of devices. Handling chains consisting of devices from multiple chip vendors can be a significant challenge, whether for the designer debugging a board or for production managers. The introduction of standards into the ISP arena will make possible the practical development of automation tools in all areas of ISP.
