PLT-300A: The new standard in factory programming and test automation.

Programmable Power Supply
1.8V, 3.3V, 5V, variable up to 24V to your device under test.

Secure Connection
Encrypted connection between production line and your backend via PLTcloud.

Program Linux & 32 Bit Devices
Use JTAG, SWD, UART, USB or directly flash microSD cards, verified support for loads of MCU targets.

Aircraft-Grade Aluminum
Tough, lightweight, and highly recyclable enclosure.

Digital Multimeter (DMM)
Measure voltage current, resistance, and capacitance with code.

Hardened Linux
PLT-OS is purpose built for the production line.

How It Works.

Program your device with the desktop PLT in debug mode before production.

Send the firmware directly to your CM using PLTcloud.
