Test & Development Features

In addition to production programming, Elprotronic programmers provide several advanced features that simplify hardware validation, firmware development, and power consumption analysis during the design and debugging stages of embedded systems.

These features enable engineers to use the programmer not only as a production programming tool, but also as a versatile development platform for evaluating target hardware and firmware behavior.

The current development features include:

  • Power Monitor – Measures the target supply voltage and current consumption directly through the programmer with high resolution and sensitivity. This feature is particularly useful for analyzing power consumption, verifying low-power operating modes, optimizing battery-powered applications, and monitoring target power during firmware execution.

  • CMSIS-DAP 2.0 Debugger – Allows the programmer to operate as a standard CMSIS-DAP v2 hardware debugger, providing seamless integration with popular IDEs such as Keil MDK, IAR Embedded Workbench, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, and other development environments supporting the CMSIS-DAP protocol. It enables source-level debugging, breakpoints, memory inspection, register access, and real-time firmware development using the same hardware employed for production programming.

Together, these features extend the capabilities of Elprotronic programmers beyond production programming, providing a complete solution that supports the entire embedded product lifecycle—from firmware development and hardware validation to high-volume manufacturing.
