Flashing the Microchip ATSAMG5 family of microcontrollers requires additional hardware in the Pogo Pin Cassette. Generally we incorporate Raspberry Pi Pico in the cassette.
Flashing of the Nordic nRF91 cellular module has two elements: Application Firmware and Modem Firmware. The Application Firmware can be flashed directly by the PLT-300A. In order to flash the Modem Firmware, a special package from Nordic is required. We facilitate the running of this package by including a single-board computer inside the pogo pin cassette.
Flashing nRFxx wireless SoCs can benefit from hardware brought close to the device. This implementation allows you to use Nordic-developed software to flash your device.
Utilizing additional hardware in the Pogo Pin Cassette, you can flash a variety of microcontrollers in the PIC16 and PIC18 families. Please confirm your exact target before ordering.
Utilizing an additional single-board computer and a compact flasher, you can automatically flash a variety of microcontrollers in the PIC32 family. This includes the PIC32MZ EF product line.
Flashing the devices in the STMicroelectronics STM32 family generally benefits from additional hardware in the Pogo Pin Cassette. Generally we incorporate either an STLINK or MCU-LINK for improved signal integrity.
Flashing the devices in the STMicroelectronics STM8 family generally benefit from additional hardware in or near the Pogo Pin Cassette. Generally we incorporate a single-board computer and an STLINK for improved signal integrity. This add-on supports the SWIM protocol.
The Getting Started Kit is the ideal place to start familiarizing yourself with the capabilities of the PLT. It allows you to develop and refine test plans for your hardware before your board is ready for mass production. Simply connect the 3 cables to the PLT Breakout Board and use jumper wires to connect to your hardware. This gives you confidence in your design of the pogo pin cassette when you are ready to lock down your hardware design for production.
This kit contains the following:
PLT-300A
PLT Breakout Board
PLT Cable Pack (8-Wire Power Cable, HD78 Cable, USB-C Cable)
