I Want to Program the Flash for My A7 or E5 Design Using an External PROM Programmer. Which File Do I Use? In most applications, you can download or program the external Flash connected to your A7 or E5 CSoC using the CSoC’s JTAG port. However, you may prefer to program to program the Flash device using an PROM programmer or PROM burner. For example, during volume manufacturing, you or your Flash supplier can program multiple devices in parallel. FastChip supports external PROM programmers by generating an Intel MCS-86-compatible Hex file. The following steps demonstrate how to create a Hex file suitable for an external PROM programmer.
