Segger

Segger programmers deliver fast, stable device programming across a wide range of microcontrollers. Forwessun integrates Segger support directly into
ICT workflows to ensure reliable, repeatable programming during production test.

ST-Link V2/V3

ST‑LINK interfaces provide efficient flashing and debugging for STM32 devices. Our ICT solutions incorporate full ST‑LINK compatibility, enabling dependable in‑circuit programming for high‑volume manufacturing.

Lattice

Lattice programmers offer robust configuration capabilities for CPLDs and FPGAs. Forwessun systems support seamless integration with Lattice tools, ensuring accurate device programming within automated test routines.

Xilinx

Xilinx programming interfaces support advanced FPGA and CPLD architectures. Our ICT platforms maintain stable, controlled programming performance using Xilinx‑compatible workflows across complex assemblies.

SMH Technologies (Flashrunner)

SMH Technologies programmers enable high‑speed, parallel programming for sophisticated semiconductor devices. Forwessun fixtures utilise SMH support to maintain efficient throughput and precise device configuration.

MPLAB

MPLAB programmers are widely used for Microchip microcontrollers across many applications. Our ICT solutions integrate MPLAB support to deliver consistent, repeatable programming during both development and production test.

Dediprog

Dediprog tools provide fast, reliable programming for SPI flash and other memory devices. Forwessun incorporates Dediprog compatibility to streamline device updates within automated ICT processes.

PEmicro

PEmicro programmers support a broad range of microcontroller families with dependable performance. Our ICT platforms use PEmicro interfaces to ensure stable, controlled programming across varied product builds.

Byte Blaster

Byte Blaster programmers enable straightforward configuration of legacy Altera devices. Forwessun maintains full Byte Blaster support to ensure continued programming capability for long‑lifecycle products.

Kanda

Kanda programmers offer flexible device support for embedded applications. Our ICT systems integrate Kanda interfaces to provide consistent, reliable programming performance throughout automated test operations.

Test Vectors and Protocols

Programming can be achieved using test vectors for fixed dynamic data or specific programmers. We support various protocols, such as:

U

I2C

I2C is commonly used for configuration, monitoring, and small data transfers. Its multi‑device addressing makes it ideal for boards with several peripherals that need lightweight, coordinated communication.

SPI

SPI is widely used for programming flash memory, sensors, and high‑performance ICs. Its Dual and Quad modes increase bandwidth significantly, making it ideal for fast device programming during ICT.

Our team can generate test vectors to program and verify SPI flash in both Dual and Quad mode, ensuring precise, faster and accurate programming for your applications.

Dedicated Programming Stations

 Forwessun offers dedicated programming stations that can be integrated into your testing environment. Our programming solutions can also be part of the overall ICT setup, with programmers fitted inside the test fixtures. This allows seamless integration with tools such as ST-LINK, MPLAB, PEmicro Cyclone, and Segger for fast and efficient programming. You can visit our fixture gallery to see some examples of our Test Fixtures

Stable and Fast Programming

Our custom test fixture hardware ensures that programming signals are isolated from tester interference, providing a stable and reliable environment for device programming. This guarantees fast programming speeds and ensures the integrity of the data being programmed. In combination with our expert software engineers, our test software solutions can be customised to suit your needs.
