2. Pre-Programmed Devices
Pre-programmed devices are useful for end systems that do not provide access to the configuration pins on the device. Devices are
programmed before being installed in the end system. Pre-programming options include using a ToolStick programming socket, using a
third-party programmer, or using Silicon Labs’ in-house programming service.
2.1 Using a ToolStick Socket
The ToolStick sockets are available from
http://www.silabs.com/toolstick
. The ToolStick socket that's compatible with the CPT007B and
CPT112S TouchXpress devices is the
ToolStick990MPP
.
