4.2 ASIX

ASIX s.r.o. founded in 1991 has entered the development tools business in the mid-'90s. Since 2004, ASIX has been offering an In-System USB Programmer, PRESTO, which supports many Microchip devices including AVR, ’51, and ARM7TDMI MCUs, as well as Serial EEPROM and Flash memories. In 2012, ASIX introduced a FORTE programmer, which offers more features and higher speed. Both programmers are primarily intended for development and service purposes, but many of them are also used for small and medium volume production (up to a couple of thousand units/day), typically with multiple programmers working in production lines. User-friendly and highly configurable software, called UP, supports production programming (serial number generator, remote control from command-line, Windows® messages, DLL library, etc.). Updates of UP and other software tools for PRESTO and FORTE are freely available. ASIX offers fast and effective technical support including new device implementation at customer request.
