#103476 - Now this sounds really silly... Responding to: ???'s previous message |

SiLabs does not support STAPL/JAM nor SVF files. But they did document the JTAG commands needed for programming the flash. So in theory one can create a hex -> svf converter. Now this sounds really silly. For who wrote the flash programming routines it is very easy to create the svf file (which is a file conforming to the STAPL specification) and with moderate effort also the JAM file (which seems to be defined better, being even an IEEE standard if I recall it right). The extra effort could be perhaps spent in a different way - capturing the JTAG signals by a logic analyser and writing an analysing software to convert it into svf. This is at least partially manufacturer-independent and can be reused in the future... I think it is silly to pretend that standards don't exist - but obviously it is a quite common practice today (the best example being a really huge SW company...) Jan Waclawek |
