In-system programming: History & Applications

In-system programming (ISP), or also called in-circuit serial programming (ICSP), is the ability of a programmable logic device, microcontroller, chipset, or other embedded device to be programmed while installed in a complete system, rather than requiring the chip to be programmed before installing. It also allows firmware updates to be delivered to the…
