So new uC's could be programmed in difficult environments without neccesarily having a computer to hand A certain vending machine manufacturer used to provide a small box into which you could load a machine update, then a technician could just take the box to do machine updates. So, yes - the idea could be useful. Nowadays (the above was ~10 years ago), I'm not sure that it'd be worth making custom hardware - I'd look into using some sort of PDA or similar, first. Maybe even a (smart) phone. Rather than program a microcontroller's own internal Flash, I think a removable storage device might be easier; then the microcontroller would simply implement the programming protocol, and read the Hexfile (or whatever) from the storage device... |
