2 Embedded Programming Schemes

Several schemes can leverage full image programming over the UART, as follows.

  • Embedded programming in production line – there are setups on the production line that do not include the PC. Instead, programmable devices such as the MCU, DSP, or FPGA are used.
  • Main external processor (other than the CC3220 MCU) – in many cases, CC3120 and CC3220 devices are just another component in the device enabling network communication. Such devices have main processors that usually control and schedule everything in the system. These cores must have the ability to upgrade and program CC3120 or CC3220 peripherals.
