🟣 Produce with SEGGER

Bring Approved Embedded Software into Production

PRODUCE brings approved embedded software onto the final hardware using reliable and reproducible programming processes. Production programmers automate the transfer of firmware to target systems, integrate device-specific production and security data, and verify and document the programming result.

This creates a controlled and traceable process — from the first production units to high-volume manufacturing.

What SEGGER Production Programmers Deliver

When firmware moves from development into production, the focus shifts from debugging and testing to fast, secure and reproducible programming of every device.

SEGGER Production Programmers — particularly the Flasher family — turn a qualified programming setup into an automated production process. Once configured and validated, the same process can be repeated consistently for every unit without requiring development tools or manual intervention on the production line.

A Typical Production Programming Workflow

1️⃣

Prepare Production Firmware

Select the approved firmware version
Define production data and configurations
Create a flash image for mass production
Ensure that only approved software is programmed

2️⃣

Configure the Programming Process

Configure the target microcontroller and flash memory
Specify the programming interface, e.g., JTAG or SWD
Define erase, program, and verification steps
Optimize production parameters for the programming process

3️⃣

Integrate Production Data

Program serial numbers or unique device IDs
Load MAC addresses, calibration data, or device configurations
Manage individual data for each device produced
Ensure traceability between the device, firmware, and production data

4️⃣

Configure Security

Securely provision keys, certificates, or other security data
Activate the microcontroller’s protection mechanisms
Disable debug or programming interfaces as needed
Help protect firmware against unauthorized access or modification

5️⃣

Program Firmware

Connect the target to the production programmer
Automatically transfer firmware to flash memory
Optimize programming for high volumes and short cycle times
Program multiple targets in parallel as needed

6️⃣

Verify Programming

Verify programmed flash content
Perform checksums or other integrity checks
Unambiguously confirm successful programming
Detect defective devices and remove them from the production process

7️⃣

Log Production Data

Document programming results
Record the serial number, firmware version, and other relevant data
Save the timestamp and production status
Enable traceability for quality assurance and service

8️⃣

Monitor and Optimize Mass Production

Analyze programming times and error rates
Identify production issues
Implement firmware updates into production in a controlled manner
Scale the programming process for higher production volumes
