Why MiniProg4 is not suitable for mass production

[KaKo_4074056]

Hi,

Could you explain in detail why we can't use MiniProg4 for mass production? It's inexpensive and easy-to-use programming tool for T2G and PSoC.

AN220118: Getting started with TRAVEO™ T2G family MCUs
3.7 Flash Programming Tools
Infineon MiniProg3/4 programmer is for development purposes. For mass production purposes, JTAG programmer from a third-party is suitable.

Hi KaKo_4074056-san,

Thank you for using Infineon Community.

1. From the beginning of the product definition of MiniProg-3/4, it is not defined/developed for mass production environment. Besides SWD programming/Debugging, at same time, SPI/UART/I2C bridge functions are integrated, which is more suitable for debugging usage.

2. There is no specific extension board for mass production to replace target devices quickly when using MiniProg-3/4.

3.   Generally, a mass production may have the capability to program target devices in parallel/burst mode; for example, programming 4 or more target devices every cycle; but MiniProg-3/4 doesn't support such kind of feature.

So, for mass production purposes, JTAG programmer from a third-party is suitable.

Best Regards,

Ryan
