Hardware Configuration
The name of each writer’s hardware section is shown below.

The adapter “e-Socket: ESK16NSOPC” is used with the e-WriterPro writer, as shown below

Quick Start

Preparation before programming

Before programming the chip, you must first confirm that the chip has been programmed with the program produced by RF Workshop (the Manufacturer Code and Serial Number of the program must be 0x00) and chip is not locked.

If the e-WriterPro connection fails, the program button will be highlighted and cannot be used. Please check whether the USB connection and hardware wiring are normal. The normal connection is as shown below.

After confirmation, follow the steps below to easily complete the programming.

Select IC package

To choose the connection method between e-WriterPro and the chip, there are two main ways to use e-Socket (ESKT16NSOPC) and ICP(e-CON12C), as shown in the figure below.

1. e-Socket (ESKT16NSOPC) Hardware connection method
   Place the e-Socket (ESKT16NSOPC) at the intersection of the e-WriterPro’s programming adapter and place the chip to be programmed, as shown below.

2. ICP(e-CON12C)
   Please refer to Appendix A for the e-WriterPro ICP programming pin diagram.

Parameter configuration

Fill in the parameters Manufacturer Code and Serial Number, and check whether the serial number automatically increases after successful programming, as shown below.

Program & update Writer F/W

Press the program button. If the Writer needs to update F/W, a prompt will pop up. Press OK to update F/W and program.

Program successfully

• When the programming is successful, Success count +1, the green light and the words, execute success, will appear.
• (Note: Successful program will lock the chip. If modification is needed, HOPE3000 should be used to re-burn the complete program and then modify it again.)

Toolbar
The toolbar has four menus: File, Language, Settings, Help. After clicking the menu, the toolbar will expand, as shown below.

• File (F):
  Open, save, and save as the configuration file. The configuration file includes Parameter Settings and UI Interface Settings, and its file extension is “.b2p”.

• Language (L):
  Language supports Traditional Chinese/Simplified Chinese/English.

• Setting (S):
  Select IC package: Select the connection method between e-WriterPro and the chip.

  • 16NSOP-A: Using e-Socket, ESKT16NSOPC
  • ICP(e-CON12C): Using ICP programming pins, e-WriterPro ICP programming pin diagram Buzzer: Set e-WriterPro buzzer action

• Help(H):

  • Tool manual & PDF
    About: Platform version information

Parameter configuration and status display

• Manufacturer: It is a 64-bit value determined by the user, usually classified by different brands. This value will be generated randomly every time you open the software. If there is a custom value, please note that it must be entered manually.
• Serial Number: It is a 28-bit value specified by the user. It is mostly used to identify different transmitting devices. You can check “Auto-increment”. After successful programming, the serial number will automatically +1, so that different devices can be distinguished during production.
• Auto-increment: After checking “Auto-increment”, the “Serial Number” will automatically +1 after successful programming, so that different devices can be distinguished during production.
• Counter: To record the number of successful or failed programs, you can use the reset button to reset the count. The successful programming counter value operates independently and will not change as the file is read.
• Reset: Reset the number of counters.
• Programming status: Brief description of the programming result, success or failure (simple reason), success is a green light, and failure is a red light.
• Program button: When this button is pressed, the Manufacturer Code and Serial Number will be written into the corresponding positions, and the chip will be locked after completion.
