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.

Sequential and simultaneous manufacturing programming of multiple

Multiple in-system programmable devices are connected in series to a programming controller for simultaneous programming. One embodiment puts all such in-system programmable devices in programming mode, and to receive programming data and programming instruction simultaneously. In that configuration, all devices begins programming and stops programming simultaneously.
