5. Programming Flow

In the Programmer window, you are introduced to a selection of actions. Specifically for QSPI flash programming, the related actions are:
  • Program/Configure
  • Verify
  • Blank Check
  • Examine
  • Erase
Figure 10. Action Options in Programmer
During any of the Programmer actions above, the Programmer carries out:
  • Initialization: To initialize the QSPI flash settings before the Programmer action starts.
  • Termination: To revert the QSPI flash settings after the Programmer action is completed.

With the Generic Flash Programmer, you can modify and preserve the programming flows for Initialization, Program, Erase, Verify/Blank-Check/Examine, and Termination operations for a flash memory device for supported devices.

For each operation, you can drag and drop Actions (such as Read Register) into locations in the programming flow to match the programming requirements of your flash memory device.

Modifying the programming flow of a newly defined flash memory device affects all .jic files generated based on the device.
