INTRODUCTION TO ISP

INTRODUCTION TO ISP( In System Programming)

In a simple way, ISP can be defined as a programming concept where the controller is programmed without removing it from the board and without using any external programming device.
ISP needs an UART for programming the controller.


In older systems and 8 bit controllers the user had to carefully remove the controller from the target device and mount it on a separate device called “programmer”, use custom software for the programmer to copy the hex file to the flash of the controller.
In this kind of programming all the external peripheral devices will be non functional at the time of programming the controller.

After the programming is done the controller is reset so that it communicates with the external devices.
