Device Programmers


Galep 5

GALEP-5, the smallest offspring of Conitec's fifth generation programmer series, is powered by the same advanced technology as its bigger brothers. It's mainly used for development, service, and mobile component programming. However, through its short programming cycles GALEP 5 can also be used as a production programmer. Price GBP 459.

This device is particularly useful with a USB connection, and it supports in-system and and JTAG programming using SVF-Script in XSVF (Xilinx) format and JAM byte code player (ALTERA). This makes it suitable for motorsport use with modern vehicles. See Conitech's Device on Demand service.


Hilo All-100

Far from being the cheapest programmer available, the ALL-100 scores because of the technical support from Hilo, which has consistently been fast, with the changes appearing in the next software release. Price at May 2011 - GBP 799.

The ALL-100 family supports device programming for variety types of device covering EPROM, EEPROM, Serial PROM, FLASH, PLD/CPLD/FPGA, MPU/MCU, etc. Most of programmable devices in DIP, SDIP, SOP, SSOP, TSOP, PLCC, QFP, or BGA package types can be programmed on a DIP-48 Programming Module directly or through an appropriate ADAPTER/CONVERTER.

ALL-100 family features high-tech pin drivers to provide excellent programming capabilities at high speed, high reliability and high expansion flexibility. All pin drivers of ALL-100 family are fully programmable to meet modern programming /testing needs including newly released low voltage devices in the market. A high speed USB port is provided to connect to the majority of notebook or desktop PC running on Windows.


Flash/EPROM Emulators

Flash/EPROM emulators offer a fast and simple method of loading software developed on a PC into a target system and debugging it. Most models provide virtual UART and breakpoint on address facilities with no extra hardware on the target.

Because of the low volumes it is no longer worth our while to supply these items. A couple of suggestions are:

  • The Grammar Engine device is not cheap, but does what you need.
  • The PROMJet is an alternative with a huge number of variations.

Cross Compilers

MPE also provide cross compilers for a range of embedded targets. For more information, visit our pages for the Windows-based Forth 7 cross compilers.
