859 16
Introduction 859 is extremely fast universal 4x 48-pindrive concurrent multiprogramming system designed for high volume production programming with minimal operator effort. The chips are programmed at near theoretical maximum programming speed. 859 consists of four independent isolated universal programming modules, based on the 866B programmer hardware. Therefore the sockets can run asynchronously (concurrent programming mode).
859 performs on each programming module device insertion test (wrong or backward position) and contact check (poor contact pin-to-socket) before it programs each device. These capabilities, supported by overcurrent protection and signature-byte check help prevent chip damage due to operator error. 859 has the selftest capability, which allows run diagnostic part of software to thoroughly check the health of the each programming module.
VME files are interpreted by VME Player. VME file is a compressed binary variation of SVF file and contains high-level IEEE 1149.1 bus operations. VME files are generated by design software which is provided by manufacturer of respective programmable device. Chips are programmer in-ZIF or through ISP connector (IEEE 1149.1 Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface). Multiple devices are possible to program and test via JTAG chain: JTAG chain (ISP-Jam) or JTAG chain (ISP-VME).
Manipulation with the programmed device After selection of desired device for your work, you can insert it into the open ZIF socket (the lever is up) and close socket (the lever is down). The correct orientation of the programmed device in ZIF socket is shown on the picture near ZIF socket on the programmer's cover. The programmed device is necessary to insert into the socket also to remove from the socket when LED BUSY light off.

(It means split of serial number to buffer at every second Byte) The correct serial number is set tightly before device programming operation starts. The buffer content of serial number when programming the first device is: Address 0000040 Data 34CD 34AB 3434 3412 xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx That’s it.
Note: Address for Serialization is always assigned to actual device organization and buffer organization that control program is using for current device. If the buffer organization is byte org. (x8), the Serialization Address will be byte address. If the buffer organization is wider than byte, e.g. 16 bit words (x16), the Serialization Address will be word address.
; Comment meaning is: basic part Basic part defines buffer address and array of bytes to write to buffer. Basic part must be always defined after label in line. optional part Optional part defines the second array of bytes and buffer address to write to buffer. One optional part can be defined after basic part of data. label1, labeln - labels Labels are identifiers for each line of input file. They are used for addressing each line of file. The labels should be unique.
Be careful to set correct addresses. Address must be defined inside device start and device end address range. In case of address out of range, warning window appears and serialization is set to disabled (None). Address for Serialization is always assigned to actual device organization and buffer organization that control program is using for current device. If the buffer organization is byte org. (x8), the Serialization Address will be byte address. If the buffer organization is wider than byte, e.g.
procedure to Pg4uw buffer. File format can be binary or Hex file (Intel Hex etc.). The autorecognition system recognizes proper file format and forces load of file in the right file format. Data filename is relative to parent (playlist) serialization file. Example of playlist serialization file: ;---- following file header is required ----------------FILETYPE=PG4UW SERIALIZATION PLAYLIST FILE ;----- references to serialization data files [nav1] file1.dat [nav2] file2.dat [nav3] file3.dat ...
There are also example .exe and C/C++ source files available.
zero. The serialization program should return error record T06 in the serialization .dat file, if the current serial number is greater than ending serial number. For details look at section Serialization .dat file format. Serialization .dat file format Serialization .dat file generated by serialization generator must meet following text format. Serialization .dat file consists of records and serial data section. Record is line which begin with one of Txx prefixes as described bellow.
T11: This record causes the serialization is stopped and warning or error message is displayed in Pg4uw software. The reason of turning serialization off is the current serial number is greater then allowed maximum ending serial number. This record can be used when -E command line parameter is specified, it means no zero Last serial value in dialog Serialization is specified. Less important warning or message. The serialization will not be interrupted.
erase read If device operation is finished with error(s) it is not successful operation. When new device type is selected, all statistics values are set to zero and Count down is set to Disabled. Reset button in Statistics panel reset statistics values. Reload Count down button in Statistics panel reloads initial value to Count down. Device / Device options / Associated file This command is used for setting associated file with current device.
Device / Verify This command compares the programmed data of the all device or its part with data in buffer. The control program reports a result of this action by a write of an error message to INFO window. The menu command Device / Device options / Operation options allows to set another working area as the standard. By the setting in the menu Options / Display errors the command lets to write the found errors on the display or write the found errors to VERIFY.ERR file.
The Jam™ Standard Test and Programming Language (STAPL), JEDEC standard JESD-71, is a standard file format for ISP (In-System Programming) purposes. Jam STAPL is a freely licensable open standard. It supports programming or configuration of programmable devices and testing of electronic systems, using the IEEE 1149.1 Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface. Device can be programmed or verified, but Jam STAPL does not generally allow other functions such as reading a device.
JAM player dialog Jam Player version 1 (see Action and Variables controls) Jam Player version 2 (see Action and Procedures controls) Action Select desired action for executing. Jam file of version 2 consists of actions. Action consists of calling of procedures which are executed. Jam file of version 1 does not know statements 'action' and 'procedure', therefore choice Action is not accessible. Program flow starts to run instructions according to boolean variables with prefix DO_something.
Program flow executes statements from each procedure. Procedures may be optional and recommended. Recommended procedures are marked implicitly. You can enable or disable procedures according to your needs. Jam Player executes only marked procedures. Other procedures are ignored. Number of procedures is different, it depends on Jam file. Variables Jam file of version 1 does not know statements 'action' and 'procedure'.
apostrophe character (') can be used to signify a comment, which is ignored by the interpreter. The language does not specify any limits for line length, statement length, or program size. More information can be found on the website: http://www.altera.com Jam file with extension .jbc is Jam STAPL Byte code format which is not visible.

Device / Device info The command provides additional information about the current device - size of device, organization, programming algorithm and a list of programmers (including auxiliary modules) that supported this device. You can find here package information , part number description and full information for ISP implementation. For example: description of ISP connector pins for currently selected chip, recommended target design around in-circuit programmed chip.
port of your PC (e.g. control program reports a programmer absence, the communication with the programmer is unreliable, etc.). If automatic establishing communication is selected, then control program sets a maximal communication speed. Port - selects a LPT port, which will be scanned for a requested programmer. If All port is selected, the control program scans all LPT ports, which are available on standard addresses. Address for special port - sets address of LPT port, if a Special port is selected.
Programmer / Automatic YES! This command is used for setting Automatic YES! mode. In this mode you just take off the programmed device, then put new device into ZIF socket and a last operation will be repeated automatically. Program automatically detects an insertion of a new device and runs last executed operation without pressing any key or button. An insertion of device into ZIF is displayed on the screen.
Note: When using device socket adapters with some passive or active parts, for example capacitors for bypassing supply voltage, the Automatic YES! function may need to set these pins to Pins with capacitors list. This is necessary to make Automatic YES! function working properly. Otherwise Automatic YES! function will "think" the pins are still connected and it will not allow user to insert new device and start new programming.
Sequence for testing 10 pins ISP connector: 1. Insert Diagnostic POD for ISP connectors into ZIF socket of the programmer. Diagnostic POD for ISP connectors must be inserted as 40 pins device. 2. Interconnect 10 pins connector of Diagnostic POD for ISP connectors with an ISP connector of the programmer with an ISP cable, included in delivery programmer package. Be sure that pins are interconnected properly (i.e. 1-1, 2-2, ..., 10-10). 3.
Options The Options menu contains commands that let you view and change various default settings. Options / General options General options dialog allows user to control following options of program. File options File options page allows you to set file masks, auto-reload of current file and choose file format recognizing for loaded files. File format masks is used for setting file -name masks to use as a filter for file listing in File / Save and File / Load file window for all file formats.
Example: A file contents data by Motorola S - format. A data block started at address FFFF0H. It is a S2 format with length of address array of 3 bytes. For all data reading you can set a value of negative offset to FFFF0H. It means, that the offset will be subtracted from current real addresses and so data will be written from buffer address 0. Warning: The value of negative offset is subtracted from real address and therefore a result of subtraction can be negative number.
The final log file name with added date will look like this (have a date November, 7th, 2006): c:\logs\myfile-2006-nov-07.log If do you wish to have log file name without any prefix before date information, you can specify the log file name as: . - dot is the first in file name Example: User specifies Log file name: c:\logs\.log The final log file name with added date will look like this (have a date November, 7th, 2006): c:\logs\2006-nov-07.
Default TCP communication settings for remote control are: Port: telnet Address: 127.0.0.1 or localhost Address setting applies for Pg4uw (Client) only. Port setting applies for Pg4uw (Client) and also for Server application. Default settings allows to use remote control on one computer (address localhost). Pg4uw (Client) and remote control Server have to be installed on the same computer.
Options / View / Additional toolbar Choose this command to show or hide the Additional toolbar. Options / View / Device options before device operation Choose this command to enable/disable display of Device options before device operation is confirmed. Options / Protected mode Protected mode is special mode of program. When program is in Protected mode, there are disabled program operation and commands that can modify buffer or device settings.
If the option is enabled (checked), the Load project operation button and menu will be allowed in Protected mode. To switch program from Protected mode back to Normal mode, use the menu command Options / Normal mode. The "Password required" dialog appears. User has to enter the same password as the password entered during switch to Protected mode. When Protected mode is active, the label "Protected mode" is visible near the top of Log window of Pg4uwMC main window.
Help / Supported devices This command displays list of all devices supported by at least one type of all supported programmers. It is useful especially when user wants to find any device supported by at least one type of programmers. Prefix ”g_” before name of device means the device is supported by multi-socket programmer. Help / Supported programmers This command displays information about programmers, where supported this program.

Panels are used to inform about: Programmer Site selected Programmer Site activity current device operation status and/or result Each panel also contains button Run or button YES! used to start device operation. Box Statistics Box Statistics informs about number of programmed devices and number of good and failed devices. Checksum Checksum is showing simple checksum of data loaded from current project file.
Pg4uwMC Settings dialog Pg4uwMC Settings dialog is used to set or display following options: Table containing information / settings for Programmer Sites On the top of Pg4uwMC Control panel is table which contains three columns: column Sites contains checkboxes with Site numbers #1, #2, #3, #4 used to enable/disable using individual Programmer Site with specified Site number column Serial number contains information about serial numbers for Programmer Sites column Project file contains edit lines Projec
Panel Timer refresh rate settings Timer refresh rate defines how often the Pg4uwMC program will request status information from running Programmer Sites. Status information means current device operation type, progress, result and so on. Current status information is displayed in main window of Pg4uwMC. The default timer refresh rate value is 200ms. If you wish faster refresh of status information displayed in Operation panel of Pg4uwMC, select shorter refresh interval.
Checkbox Add date information to Log file name allows user to set date information into Log file name specified by user in Log file name edit box. When the checkbox is checked, program automatically adds current date string into user specified Log file name by the following rules: If user specified log file name has format: . The name with added date will be: <-yyyy-mmm-dd>.
Job Report contains following information: project name project date Protected mode status Pg4uwMC software version programmer type and serial number start time of executing the Job (it means time when Load project operation was performed) end time of executing the Job (time of creating the Jo b Report) device name device type checksum device operation options serialization information statistics information Job Report is generated in following cases: user command Load project is selected clo
job_report__.jrp where is decimal order of the file. If there exist any report files with the same name, then order for new report file is incremented about order of existing files. is project file name of recently used project, and without the project file name extension. Example 1: Let's use the project file c:\myproject.eprj and directory for Job Report set to d:\job_reports\ There are no report files present in the Job Report directory.
Pg4uwMC "Search for Programmers" dialog Dialog allows to scan all connected USB devices for programmers matching selected multiprogramming system. After finishing of scanning operation, dialog offers "Search results" list of found programmers. For some multiprogramming systems user can modify the order of Programmer Sites or delete unwanted Programmer Sites. When at least one programmer was found, button “Accept” is enabled and user can click on it to accept new settings.
If communication with programmers is lost randomly during device operation (for example device programming), please close other programs, especially programs which consumes large amount of system resources (multimedia, CAD, graphic applications and so on). Note: We also recommend to use computer USB ports placed on back side of computer and directly connected to motherboard, because computer USB ports connected to computer motherboard indirectly - via cable, may be unreliable when using high speed USB 2.
Common notes 127
Software Pg4uw is common control program for these B+K PRECISION programmers. Thus, during work with him it is possible to find some items, those refer not to current selected programmer. Some special devices (e.g. Philips Coolrunner family) require external DAT files, that aren’t present in standard Pg4uw SW delivery on CD. If you need to program these devices, look at www.bkprecision.com. You can start control program with different command line parameters.
1. 2. 3. /Program /Program:noquest /Program:noanyquest /Close this parameter has sense together with /Program parameter only, and makes program to close automatically after device programming is finished (no matter if operation was successful or no) /Eprom_Flash_Autoselect[:xx] forces automatic select EPROM or FLASH by ID when program is starting or even if program is already running.
For laptop or other PC that is not connected to common earth point: make hard - wired connection from laptop to common earth point (for example use LPT or COM port D – connector). Any devices connected to target system must be connected to common earth point too. Direction of connect B+K PRECISION ISP programmer to target system: During in-system programming you connect two electrical devices – ISP programmer and target system. Unqualified connection can damage these devices.
If your target board supply differs from mentioned 5V, choose please the Zener diode (D1) voltage according to this supply voltage. We recommend to use resistors R1, R2, (R3) to separate the target device from target system. If pins needed for ISP programming are inputs in target system then separation by resistors is sufficient and resistors make a low pass filter too. If pins are outputs, then use of resistors saves a programming time.
PICmicro® microcontrollers This interface corresponds with Microchip application notes TB013, TB017, TB016: How to Implement ICSP TM Using PIC16CXXX OTP (PIC12C5XX OTP)(PIC16F8X Flash) MCUs . These application notes describes requirement for target system with In-system programming device and ISP programmer. Following signals are use for In-system programming of PICmicro® microcontrollers.
Pg4uw SW can handle all modes of LPT port (full IEEE 1284 support), thus you don't need to configure LPT port for connection of B+K PRECISION programmers. Please don't move Info window during BUSY LED is on - watching circuit can be activate to switch the programmer in safe status as in case communication PC-programmer error. LPT port driver For programmers connected through parallel LPT port, control program requires correctly installed LPT port driver.
