Abstract
An in-system programmable (ISP) system, having a plurality of ISP devices, can be programmed by remote access from a host controller. The remote access can be accomplished over a wired data network, a wireless data network such as an infra-red data network and a radio wave data network, or a hybrid network including both a wired data network portion and a wireless data network portion. An access interface connects the host controller to an ISP programmer over the wired or wireless communication link. The ISP programmer programs the ISP system in accordance with ISP programming conventions. The ISP programmer can be provided by an integrated circuit having a microprocessor core.
