Flash Magic is an advanced solution for Windows that enables you to program flash-based microcontrollers from NXP. It is possible to perform all actions using a serial, Ethernet, CAN bus or SWD while connected to the target hardware.

General notes

The software distribution comes equipped with a straightforward and intuitive graphical interface. What is more, there are only five simple steps to erasing and programming a device, as well as setting up important options.

You can also automatically program checksums. Thanks to the supplied calculation routine your firmware is capable of verifying the integrity of a Flash block, ensuring no unauthorized or corrupted code lines will be executed. Alternatively, you may try similar applications, such as Xprog, MProg or PICkit.

Advanced capabilities

When it comes to working with data, you have the ability to read and display the contents of Flash in ASCII and Hexadecimal formats. The utility also allows you to reprogram the Boot Vector and Status Byte with the help of confirmation features that prevent programming incorrect values. Moreover, you can control the DTR and RTS RS232 signals to place the device into BootROM and Execute modes.
