Figure 6-11 Programmer Properties
Device Protection
This allows the user to select either automatic protection (Automatic) or interactive protection (Interactive) to
protect the FLASH device from accidental over-erasure and over-programming. Automatic protection will
erase blocks from the device prior to programming, as necessary. Interactive protection will ask the user before
an erase occurs. FDT can be forced to write to a block containing data. In addition, None can be selected to
disable device protection.
Whilst connected to a device FDT keeps track of the state of the FLASH blocks and is able to determine when
a programming operation will over-program a region of FLASH memory.
Note If device protection is disabled the user is responsible for erasing the device prior to programming.
Message Level
The user can select either Standard or Advanced message levels. A standard message level generates general
FDT/target device status messages regarding high-level communications details. An Advanced message level
generates more detailed information regarding lower level communications details.
Readback Verification
After programming, FDT can verify the data was programmed successfully by performing a read-back
verification. Use this option to specify whether you would like to perform read-back verification, always, after
confirmation, or never.
Reset on Disconnect
When disconnecting from the device when used in combination with a UPB or FDM, FDT can be used to reset
the target hardware. Use this option to specify whether you would like to reset the device, always, after
confirmation, or never.
