In-system serial programming by BeeHive204
Optimized advanced pindriver deliver programming performance without overshoot or ground
bounce for all device technologies. Pin drivers operate down to 1.8V so you'll be ready to
program the full range of today's advanced low- voltage devices.
The ISP programming solution performs programming verification at the marginal level of
supply voltage, which, obviously, improves programming yield, and guarantees long data
retention.
The ISP programming solution provides also the power supply for the target system.
This ISP programming solution provides very competitive price but excellent hardware design
for reliable programming.
The software provide full information for ISP implementation: Description of ISP connector
pins for currently selected chip, recommended target design around in-circuit programmed
chip and other necessary information.
For general definition, recommendation and direction about ISP see section Common notes
/ ISP please.
Description of ISP connector
As ISP connector is used 20 pins connector 2-1634689-0 from TE connectivity or other
compatible connector.

Comment to above picture:

picture C) Connection of pins 15 and 16 when are configured as logical signal needed for ISP programming

pictures D) E) When pins 15 and 16 are configured as status of LED OK and LED ERROR

picture D) before first action with desired ISP device 
picture E) after first action with desired ISP device

Notes: When LED OK or LED ERROR ON (shine),
this status is presented as logical H, level of H is 1,8V - 5V depend on H level of desired ISP device.

When LED OK or LED ERROR OFF (not shine),
this status is presented as logical L, level of L is 0V - 0,4V.

The above mentioned values are provided to understand (and also to exactly calculate) the
value of resistors, which isolate (separate) the programmed chip and target system.
Specification of ISP connector pins depends on the device, which you want to program. You
can find it in the control SW for programmer (PG4UW), menu Device / Device Info (Ctrl+F1).
Be aware, the ISP programming way of respective device must be selected. It is indicated by
(ISP) suffix after name of selected device.

Recommended target circuit design

Recommended target application design shows typical STM32 circuitry needed for ISP programming via JTAG interface.
If you have correctly implemented JTAG interface in your application (e.g. for debug purposes), you probably don't need any special modifications. ISP connector pin names are derived from standard 20-pin connector commonly used for ARM-core based devices. Connect them in appropriate way. The connectors are not identical! It is highly recommended to connect all ISP connector GND (VSS) pins with target application GND (VSS) line in order to achieve better communication reliability (they screen signal wires). Use appropriate setting on BOOT0 and BOOT1 pin(s) to ensure proper boot mode - SYSTEM MEMORY boot mode is preferred. Booting from FLASH is not recommended if re-programming, since program running from flash might disable JTAG pins (by remapping them to general IO).
Otherwise keep in mind also the following:
- Don't couple JNTRST pin directly to NRST pin - this will make JTAG communication impossible.
- Provide JTDO, JTCK, JTMS, JTDI and JNTRST pins with serial resistors or jumpers. The aim is to isolate target device from the rest of application. Recommended value of resistors R1 - R5 is 1k5 or more (see ISP connector pin circuitry of BeeProg2 programmer at bottom).
- Provide NRST pin with serial resistor or jumper. The aim is to isolate target device from the rest of application. Recommended value of R6 resistor is 10k or more.
Note: The length of ISP connection from ISP connector to programmed chip has not exceed 30cm.

D) E) When pins 15 and 16 are configured as status of LED OK and LED ERROR

E) after first action with desired ISP device

Notes:
When LED OK or LED ERROR ON (shine), this status is presented as logical H, level of H is 1,8V - 5V depend on H level of desired ISP device.
When LED OK or LED ERROR OFF (not shine), this status is presented as logical L, level of L is 0V - 0,4V.
The above mentioned values are provided to understand (and also to exactly calculate) the value of resistors, which isolate (separate) the programmed chip and target system.

Purpose of the R1..R3 resistors is to isolate the programmed chip from rest of target system.
Recommended value of resistors R1..R3 for BeeProg2 programmer is 1k5 or more.
You can also use jumpers instead of the resistors.

Recommended target circuit design

VCC: Power supply voltage of application.
The programmer uses this signal to test, if the target application is powered.
GND: Common ground for programmer and application.

RP1, RP2: Pull-Up resistors for SDA/SCL signals. Values must meet the IIC bus specification.

SDA, SCL: IIC bus communication signals.

WP: Write Protect pin, must be set to inactive level while programming the device.
The programmer uses this signal to test the WP pin level before programming of the chip.

(*1): If you have RP1 and RP2 resistors too low (RP1, RP2 < 500 Ohm),
the programmer is not able to provide the sufficient level L at SDA/SCL pins,
you have to isolate SDA and SCL signals of programmed chip (by jumpers, for example).
In this case, the programmer provides pull-up resistors for SDA/SCL pins.
If you have RP1 and RP2 resistors > 1kOhm, is not necessarily to isolate SDA and SCL signals of programmed chip.
For further information, please refer to ISP Application Notes available at our web site.
Note: The length of ISP connection from ISP connector to programmed chip has not exceed 30cm.
