CrossStudio for ARM supports FLASH programming (and subsequent debugging) by loading a program into the RAM of the target and transmitting it the data to be programmed.

The use of a target loader is determined by the value of the Loader File Path project property defined for the appropriate configuration of the project. The Loader File Path property specifies the location of the loader executable to use, if this is defined the loader executable will be downloaded onto the target an run prior to download of the main application.

In addition to the Loader File Path property, the Loader File Type project property must be specified. This tells CrossStudio how to communicate with the loader program. The various communication mechanisms available are explained in more detail later. The Load File Type property may be set to one of the following:

To write your own loader programs you should use the LIBMEM loader library.
