# Overview

FLIP is a flexible PC-application which lets you program and configure Atmel's microcontroller devices in-system. This new major version of FLIP offers the following capabilities :

- perform In-System Programming through RS232, USB or CAN interfaces.

- may be used through its intuitive Graphical User Interface or launched from a DOS window (see the batchisp manual), from an embedded software IDE like KEIL's uVision2, or even from your own application (see the ISP Functions Library manual).

- runs under Windows 9x / Me / NT / 2000 / XP.

- supports Intel MCS-86 Hexadecimal Object, Code 88 file format for data file loading and saving.

- buffer editing capabilities : fill, search, copy, reset, modify, goto address.

- target device memory control : erase, blank check, program, verify, read, security level and special bytes reading and setting.

- parts serialization capability (from batchisp only).

- ISP hardware conditions may be set by software.

- the demo mode emulates ISP operations without any target hardware.
