#170576 - why splitting hair?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik Malund said:
You say ISP does not mean "open protocol" because ICP is not published

From what I've seen - including other microcontrollers - it appears that ISP is a more generic term, including all forms of serial, few-signal-few-pin programming.

You know that I advocate the SPI-ISP and UART-ISP terms to distinguish between various forms of it, rather that to invent more TLAs :-)

So, what I want to say is, that the fact a microcontroller is serially, in-circuit, in-situ and in-application programmable, does not mean, that the manufacturer publishes the necessary protocol - and, as an example, I brough up the SPI-ISP protocol called by NXP ICP, which is the only way how to program the lower-end LPC9xx-s.

Although, in my personal and arguable opinion, it is a short-sighted policy.
