In-System Programming
1. In-System Programming
In-system programming involves programming devices after installation in the end system, as in the case of the Capacitive Sense Eval-
uation Boards. In this scenario, access to the config pins (Config Clk or Config Data) is provided in the end system to enable connection
to a programming master. This programming master can be a Silicon Labs USB Debug Adapter (UDA) or a ToolStick Base Adapter.
The 8-bit USB Debug Adapter (DEBUGADPTR1-USB, available here: https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBDebug.aspx) or
the ToolStick Debug Adapter (available at http://www.silabs.com/toolstick) can be used to program TouchXpress devices. These adapt-
ers provide a 2 x 5 0.1" header that can be connected to the custom PCB to program the TouchXpress device. If this header is too large
for the application system, three test points can be located on the edge of the PCB for use with an adapter cable.
