Abstract

See full text

In a microcomputer comprising internal buses, a serial communication interface, a flash memory, a RAM, a ROM for storing a writing program, an input/output port, a CPU, and a mode control unit for setting various operation modes and test modes in the microcomputer, a switching circuit is connected between the ROM and the internal buses and between the input/output port and the internal buses. The mode control unit operates the switching circuit in an emulation test mode so that the ROM is deactivated and the input/output port is activated. Then, the CPU reads a program from the serial communication interface and writes the program into the flash memory in accordance with a writing program from the input/output port.
