RAPID-PGMR VMCGR

Overview

RapID-PGMR VMCGR is a JTAG programming tool manufactured by Innovasic, Inc., designed for configuring and programming flash chips on RapID Platform Network Interface modules. It connects to the host PC via USB and interfaces with the target module using a ribbon cable attached to a dedicated connector. The device supports loading .elf files for components such as the Boot Loader, Unified Interface, and Network Configuration Data. It enables programming of blank flash devices without requiring external power grounding of the BOOTLOADER_EN_N signal.
