FlashRunner 2.0 Technology now supporting TI’s Arm® Cortex® M0+ MCU portfolio

SMH Technologies is pleased to announce support of Texas Instruments (TI) MSPM0 Arm® Cortex®-M0+ microcontrollers (MCU) on our new FlashRunner 2.0 platform. 

TI’s Arm Cortex-M0+ MCU portfolio is designed for a wide range of industrial, medical and automotive applications with low-cost devices that have very low power consumption. 

Whether you are selecting an MCU to solve a new design challenge, determining the best scalable MCU family to use on a new product platform, or redesigning an existing system to improve continuity of supply and reduce cost, the MSPM0 portfolio of Arm Cortex-M0+ MCUs is more than just the MCU itself.

Through the Serial Wire Debug (SWD) protocol, SMH Technologies supports the all-memory programming functions present in MSPM0 devices, such as flash memory and non-main memory.

In addition, various ways of device unlocking are available, such as factory reset and chip mass erase through SWD and secondary Cortex debugging access port (AP) buses.

Unlocking procedures with passwords and programming external memories through MSPM0 are also already available. For example, the ability to program an external electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) connected to the MSPM0 device through the I²C peripheral is already available.

With more than 100 MCUs, TI’s MSPM0 portfolio simplifies the hard work of cost optimization, future-proofing and platform porting to allow you to focus on differentiating your products, not understanding your MCUs.

MSPM0 MCUs come in various families, such as MSPM0L, MSPM0G and MSPM0C, offering an important alternative to other MCUs on the market, allowing you to reduce costs at both the component and system level without compromising performance and flexibility.

MSPM0 low-cost MCUs will be increasingly present in the market in the years to come. Support for the family is highly strategic in the world of low-cost projects.

SMH Technologies’ collaboration with TI enables us to support all existing MSPM0 MCUs and new devices as TI’s portfolio expands.
