Overview
Zilog’s Smart Flash Programmer (SFP) version 2.2
is a software tool used to program Flash devices that
supports all Zilog’s Flash based microcontroller
products. SFP supports low-volume production
programming and field service upgrades.
SFP is compatible with Microsoft Windows operat-
ing system and supports Ethernet Smart Cable, USB
Smart Cable, Serial Smart Cable, and ZPAK II with
CAT5 Ethernet Cable. It is a cost-effective tool used
to program both internal and external Flash memory
devices for Zilog microcontrollers.
SFP software is available for free download at

Smart Flash Programmer
Features
SFP is designed to support hex files generated using
Zilog Developer Studio II (ZDS II) Integrated Devel-
opment Environment (IDE). ZDS II supports code
editing, assembler/C-compiler/linker features,
source-level debugging, and project managing
facilities for quick and efficient development of
embedded applications. ZDS II is available for free
download at
www.zilog.com
and is also included
with all Zilog
®
Flash based devices.
The general features of SFP include:
•Single step programming
•Windows®-based Flash programming tool
•Two end-user configurations:
–Setup configuration provides options to
configure all communication and memory
settings specific to target board
–Production configuration provides
minimal interfaces to Program, Verify, and
Erase the Flash
•Supports multiple hex file programming
•Programs multiple targets attached
sequentially over Ethernet or USB Smart
Cables
•Provides interface to calculate hex file and
Flash checksum
•Supports following types of serialization for
assigning a unique ID to the target:
–Autoincrement serialization
–Hex, Decimal, Date and Time, IP, and
MAC serialization values
•Provides programming support to various
external Flash devices: Atmel, Micron,
STMicro, Intel, and AMD
•Provides scripting commands to automate the
execution
Debug Tool Requirements
Use one of the following cables to connect the PC to
the target board:
•Serial Smart Cable
•USB Opto-isolated Smart Cable
•USB Smart Cable
•Ethernet Smart Cable
•
ZPAK II with CAT 5 Ethernet
Cable (eZ80Acclaim!)
