To achieve this speed or to allow Mainboard FLASH programming, it must be
possible to access Mainboard FPGA I/O peripherals, so the CPU external bus
must be available (if you still need the P0-P3 ports for your application, you
should use the Simulated ports instead). If the CPU external bus access is not
possible, the communication will run only on 9600Bd (10 times slower) and
only CPU internal FLASH can be programmed.
Note: none of the PE tools uses the CPU internal FLASH for its internal
processing - we decided to reserve this memory just for an user.

Currently, there are three versions of Flashtool: 1.0, which was distributed
with the PE 2.32, Flashtool 1.1, which was in the beta version of PE 2.34
and Flashtool 1.2. From the Flashtool version 1.2 and higher, the version
number is displayed in the flashtool window title bar. With the previous
versions, the version number can be found by displaying the properties of
the Flashtool.exe file (in the Windows Explorer, press right mouse button on
the Flashtool.exe file and select Properties).

The FLASH programming tool (Flashtool) is installed during Processor Expert
installation. User can even choose not to install the PE but the FLASH tool only.
In such a case, only files and directories necessary for using Flashtool with
Devkit16 is installed (including both Fujitsu debug monitor and PE debug kernel
ABI files).
The latest update for Flashtool can also be downloaded from the PE web site –

From within the Processor Expert environment, application can be easily
burned into the FLASH - just click on the
Tools | Fujitsu DevKit16 Flash
Programming.
The FLASH Programming Tool will be run in an non-
interactive mode, with PE setting all the necessary parameters automatically.
But, if you do not want to use PE environment for programming the
FLASH, FLASH tool can be run in standalone mode. If you want to do this,
go to the PE folder in the Windows Start menu and choose FlashTool.

External bus free ? –
If the external bus is free (no device is connected to it) the
internal and external FLASH can be programmed (with communication speed
115200Bd). If not, only internal FLASH can be programmed with
communication speed 9600Bd.
