Introduction
The Silicon Labs ClockBuilderPro™ Field Programmer Kit, also known as CBPROG-DONGLE, is a versatile tool designed to facilitate the programming and configuration of Silicon Labs clock generator devices. This kit works in conjunction with the ClockBuilder Pro (CBPro) software, enabling engineers to efficiently manage device firmware and volatile register settings.
Key Capabilities
The Field Programmer Kit supports several programming models, including:
- In-socket firmware and NVM programming for loose devices.
- In-system firmware and NVM programming for devices mounted on a PCB.
- In-system and in-socket volatile register programming for debugging and configuration updates.
The kit includes the CBPROG-DONGLE, various socket adapter boards for different device packages (e.g., 32-pin, 40-pin, 44-pin, 48-pin, 56-pin, 64-pin QFN), and necessary cables.
Getting Started
To begin using the kit, users need to download and install the ClockBuilder Pro software from Silicon Labs. The software provides the interface for configuring hardware, selecting programming models, and managing device programming tasks. Hardware setup involves connecting the CBPROG-DONGLE to a PC via USB and then connecting the dongle to the target device using the appropriate socket board or a custom PCB interface.
