3.5 Development Mode (EDS)
3.5.1 Overview
In ‘Development Mode’, the programmer is controlled from the EQTools – EDS (Equinox
Development Suite) running on a PC. The Development utility is called Equinox Development Suite or
EDS for short. In this mode it is NOT necessary to upload the ‘Programming Project’ to the
programmer as the EDS utility co-ordinates all programming operations.
In EDS Mode, you can perform the following actions under PC control:
•
Write data directly to a Target Device from the PC e.g. a HEX file
•
Read data from a Target Device to a file on the PC
•
Write / Read the Configuration Fuses of a Target Device
•
Write / Read the Security Fuses of a Target Device
•
Read the Target Vcc Voltage
