Device programming (manufacturing / production)

2006-05-01 by shergtu

This post pertains specifically to the LPC2xx parts with on-chip 
flash & no external bus.

Question: how are you programming the LPC on-chip flash in a 
manufacturing / production environment?

During development, I'm primarily using the JTAG interface to load 
the flash.  On rare occasions I'll go the ISP / serial interface 
route.  But production is a whole different story.

For example, are there dedicated device-programming stations for the 
Philips chips before they're placed on the board?

Production quantity in this case is probably around 20k a year.  I 
mention this because certain economies of scale kick in at different 
quantities (i.e. if this was a garage-shop operation, manually 
connecting a stuffed board to a serial port or an emulator might make 
sense).

Thanks.
