Putting code onto it

In-System Programming (ISP)

    the act of programming a microcontroller while it is already mounted on the board Contrary to Pre-Programming. You program the contro

    CMSIS-DAP Devices are all devices that can write programs into a microcontroller's memory using JTAG or SWD. ler before soldering it somewhere.

    Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

      A standard synchronous serial communication interface used for short-distance communication between a main device and one or more peripheral devices. synchronous (needs clock signal), serial communication multiple secondary devices are possible full-duplex pins:
        MOSI (main out secondary in) MISO (main in secondary out) SCK (clock) SS (secondary select): select which secondary device to communicate with

        Serial Peripheral Data Interface (SPDI)

          do not find any source for it

          Joint Test Action Group (JTAG)

            eletronics manufacturers committee they developed a protocol with the same name mostly used for programming ARM cores pins
              TMS: mode select TCLK: clock TDO: data out TDI: data in nRESET: reset (optional)

              Serial Wire Debug (SWD)

                two-pin variant of the JTAG protocol most common on newer ARM chips pins:
                  swdio: in/out swclk: clock

                  Unified Program and Debug Interface (UPDI)

                    proprietary single-wire, bi-directional, half-duplex asynchronous can use off-the shelf UART adapters used to program AVR microcontrollers released since 2016, ATTINY412, ATTINY164. more detailed blog article debugging is hidden behind a proprietary interface, but even though you can snoop on the protocol with just a serial adapter and even though the large scale structure of the protocol is known too even more detailed article i did not find out what part of the protocol actually is proprietary and what not.
