Abstract
A digital processor is coupled to a processor programmer through a single programming connection (e.g., terminal, pin, etc.) coupled to the single conductor programming bus. The processor programmer comprises an instruction encoder/decoder, a Manchester encoder, a Manchester decoder, a bus receiver and a bus transmitter. The digital processor comprises an instruction encoder/decoder, a Manchester encoder, a Manchester decoder, a bus receiver, a bus transmitter, a central processing unit (CPU), and a program memory. The instruction encoder/decoder is coupled to the CPU and the program memory. The bus receivers and bus transmitters are coupled to the single conductor programming bus which is coupled to a connection, e.g., terminal, pin, ball, etc., on an integrated circuit package containing the digital processor. The instruction encoder/decoder is coupled to a programming console, e.g., a personal computer, workstation, etc.
