2022.08.11 14 Rev 2.04

 ICP Programmer Manual

 Device
When creating a new project, it allows the user to only download the target MCU of a specific
model of certain series. However, if AT32F413-Universal is selected, it means that all the MCUs of
AT32F413 series are allowed to download.

 Add/Delete
When creating a new project, add and delete the code file to be downloaded. The format can be
bin/hex/srec/s19/benc/henc/senc. Multi -section code file configuration is supported. The address of
multi-section code files cannot be on the same Flash sector. The maximum length of file name is 32
bytes.

 Erase option
Configure as required. Support various erase operations before download.

 Bluetooth module erase options（AT32WB415CCU7-7）

Erase options can be configured as required to enable an erase operation before download.
Note: If “Erase the sectors of file size” is configured, the last sector of the Main code cannot be
erased.

 Enable BLE FAP after download（AT32WB415CCU7-7）

Enable BLE module access protection after download.

 Download interface
Select SWD or ISP interface when downloading the project offline.

 Download times
If this option checked, the total number of downloads will be limited in the range of 1-4000000.
Both success and failure are included in the total [Link] the total number is exceeded, no more
downloads are allowed.

 Reset and run

After the project download is completed, it will reset and run. This option and enable FAP after
download option cannot be enabled at the same time

 Encryption transmit
The download process works with the Hex Encryption function of Artery MCU to implement
encryption transmit to ensure the security of data during the transmission.

 Verify
Verify whether the data is correct after download, and a hardware verify method will be used during
encryption transmit to ensure data security.

 Enable FAP after download

Enable this option when the download is completed. For AT32F415/F421/F425/WB415/L021, users
can choose to enable access protection and high level access protection (access protection and

2022.08.11 15 Rev 2.04

 ICP Programmer Manual
user system data erase protection). (AT32F425/L021 high level access protection is irreversible. Once
enabled, it will never be unlocked, with its debugging interface permanently disabled. Please use with
caution.)

 Boot memory AP mode (AT32F415/F421/F425/WB415/L021)

Configure the boot memory as AP mode. Some MCUs can configure the boot memory as an
extended user code area for user code storage.
Note: this mode setting is irreversible and can only be modified once.

 Write user system data

Users can select to download user system data file at the same time. The format can only be bin or
hex.

 Write software serial number

32-bit data. The address can be customized. The address and code address cannot be on the
same flash sector. Serial number value = initial serial number + number of successful downloads x
each increment value, if overflow occurs, the high bit will be cleared and the low 32 bit will be
reserved.

 SPIM settings (AT32F403/F413/F403A/F407)

If there are files with the address range in SPIM (including code or serial number), users need to
select the corresponding external Flash model, IO mapping, and external encryption programming
range and other information.

 sLib settings (AT32F403 does not support)

Configure sLib-related parameters, including disabling the existing sLib before download and
enabling a new sLib during download, and users need to set sLib password and sLib range.

 Save parameters (valid only for new projects)

When creating a new project, users can save various parameters of project configuration to a file. It
is convenient for users to configure multi-projects with the same or similar parameters next time.

 Load parameters (valid only for new projects)

When creating a new project, user can load the stored parameter files so as to configure project
conveniently and quickly (Save and load function only refer to the parameters, rather than save or
load the downloaded documents).

 Save project file

After all the above files and parameters configuration are completed, they can be packaged to
generate an encrypted project file in the format of * .atcp for remote transmission or local storage.
When saving project file, the following settings can be made: (As shown in Figure 6)

2022.08.11 16 Rev 2.04

 ICP Programmer Manual
Figure 6. Project file settings

― This project is only used at the specified AT-Link:

This project is bound to AT-Link and can only be used in the specified AT-Link. The AT-Link serial
number must be set.

― This project is only used once:

This project can only be used once, and is used in conjunction with “This project is only used at the
specified AT-Link”, and AT-Link SN and AIN is required.

 Open project:
Open an existing project file in * .atcp format and load its configuration into the software for viewing.

 Save project to AT-Link

Save the configured project or opened project in the AT-Link through a dynamic encryption
algorithm for offline download.

3.3.3 AT-Link offline download

activated project will be selected for downloading. If the current active project is deleted, select it
again. Click on "Save and activate" to take effect.

 Download interface

download progress. If failed, error message will be displayed.

 Start/Cancel button free download

This feature means that there is no need to operate the ICP interface, only need to replace the
target board MCU according to the prompt message to complete the automatic continuous
download.
This option allows the switching of Start/Cancel only when AT-Link is in idle state.
Note: other operations are not allowed in button free mode. Users must cancel the button free
mode before operation.

3.18 SPIM encryption download
SPIM encryption principle:
When SPIM encrypted download is required, users must first configure the SPIM FLASH_DA and
SPIM encryption key (Key is set in the user system data) before download. In this case, the MCU
will encrypt the downloaded original data according to the SPIM FLASH_DA and encryption key as
well as the algorithm set in the MCU, then write the encrypted data to SPIM.

When need to read the encrypted data of the SPIM, users also need to configure the SPIM
FLASH_DA and encryption key. Based on the SPIM FLASH_DA and encryption key, MCU uses the
MCU's internal algorithm to decrypt the encrypted data and restore it to the correct original data.

When downloading files to SPIM, the following steps can be set to encrypt the downloaded
content. (AT32F403/F413/F403A/F407)

Step 1: set the FLASH_DA of the SPIM. (As shown in Figure 46)

Figure 46. SPIM encryption range config

Users can set the range to be encrypted starting from 0x08400000.

If encryption is not required, set to 0.

Step 2: set the SPIM encryption key through the "user system data" page. (As shown in Figure 47)

Figure 47. SPIM encryption key config

2022.08.11 42 Rev 2.04

 ICP Programmer Manual
This is the encryption / decryption key for downloading and reading data in the encrypted range of
the SPIM. When the access protection is disabled, the key is also erased.

Step 3: Download the file to SPIM normally to implement encrypted download.
