Hitex Development Tools has launched a special programming solution addressing users who will start the production of their XC800-based products. The XC800 family is the new line of 8-bit microcontrollers from Infineon, combining a high performance 8051 core with on-chip Flash and ROM memory as well as a powerful mix of peripherals such as an enhanced CAN, LIN and 10-bit ADC.

The XC800-ProdPro is a production programmer supporting all XC800 derivatives. The XC800-ProdPro package includes a XC800 Flash Target Probe that allows storing the application program image file into the device. It then can be set up to be used in two ways, either for standalone operation, i.e. it automatically starts programming the stored image when it is connected to the target. The other way is to use the included DLL to control the device via a PC or production line computer. The DLL offers the functions: Start, Stop, Verify, Erase and Setup (load image file and settings).

To build a production environment with up to 8 units for parallel programming, additional XC800 Flash Target Probes can be added to the XC800-ProdPro.
