#185980 - IAP don't mean boot loader exists Responding to: ???'s previous message |
IAP is In Application Programming - i.e. that your application have means to modify the flash contents. So your application may use whatever interface the processor have to receive new program content. Be it UART, CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, USB, SD-card, ...
And ISP - In System Programming - just means that you can program a chip without disconnecting it from the board. But that might be done using a UART. Or I2C. Or SPI. Or something else. It probably means that there is a boot loader in there somewhere, but the chip could instead manage by the use of JTAG or similar. |
