This application note contains a reference design consisting of HDL IP and Xilinx AdvancedConfiguration Environment (ACE) software utilities that give designers great flexibility increating in-system programming (ISp) solutions. In-system programming support allowsdesigners to revise existing designs, package the new bitstream programming files with theprovided software utilities, and update the remote system through the JTAG interface using theEmbedded JTAG ACE Player.
On the LPC13xx, programming, erasure and re-programming of the on-chip flash can be performed using In-System Programming (ISp) via the UART serial port, and also, can be performed using In-Application Programming (IAP) calls directed by the end-user code. For In-System Programming (ISp) via the UART serial port, the ISp command handler (resides in the bootloader) allows erasure of one or more sector (s) of the on-chip flash memory.
