Sample Projects

Here are some of the projects that we accomplished in the past.

Serial Bootloaders

• Footprint that is small enough to fit into the OTP
• Communication over RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and TCP/IP
• Servicing of external watchdog during entire reflashing process

CAN Bootloaders

• Based on ISO 14229 (Unified Diagnostics Services)
• Communication according to the ISO 157650-2 CAN Network Layer
• Reflashing can be initiated via CAN command
• Backdoor mechanism to recover from corrupt application code

Bootloaders with encrypted communication

• Firmware is encrypted during compile process
• Only encrypted hex files are distributed
• Decryption occurs in target before flash is programmed
• Flash CSM remains locked at all times

Multi-Core Loaders

• Supports reflashing of multiple cores in one session
• Verifies integrity of software executing on all cores
