I'm looking for a free AND fast flash-tool for flashing a board with C167 and AMD29040F over serial port. By now I'm using Bootload/Win .. but at 57,8kBaud it takes about 12 minutes or flashing a 220k H86-File (approx. 100k binary). Is this normal time? Thanks for any tips! Torsten
If you have a bit of time, take a look at the Infineon Memtool: it is not too difficult to write a new driver to support your flash memory. The procedure is not documented, but, if you take a look at existing drivers, you will easily understand what to do; we wrote the 29F800 driver in just a couple of days and we use Memtool even in automated test programs, thanks to its well documented open interface. It is free and it is very well designed. It already contains "Generic Drivers" for systems based on C16x and 29F010, 29F200 and 29F400 flash memories; starting from one of those targets (by doing a bit of reverse engineering) you will easily implement the target you need.

It is still available, you can download it from this page. http://www.infineon.com/cgi/ecrm.dll/ecrm/scripts/promotion_downloads.jsp?oid=53087 Bruno
Do you know any web-sources, where I can get memtool? It seems it isn't available on infineon.com anymore.
Thanks a lot, Bruno! Why doesn't a search on "memtool" on infineon's website bring up any result?
