Talk:In-system programming

Microchip free publicity

Shouldn't references to Microchip products be avoided? This looks like free publicity.

Merge with In-circuit serial programming

In-circuit serial programming and In-system programming seems both talk of the same topic from a slightly different point of view. IMO the former should be merged in the more generic In-system programming which already has references to other ISP protocols (JTAG).

Or In-system programming should concentrate on the concept of ISP whereas In-circuit serial programming should focus only on the use of SPI to program in-site AVR micro-controllers?

And, for what it's worth, it appears all three cited references are now dead (squatted on or empty):

I do not think so. ISP and ICSP may not be the same. I searched the Atmel.com, there are a lot of things about ICP and something about ICSP. I think they are too similar and we often make mistakes.

ICSP was trademarked by Micro C Technologies, but it was abandoned as a Trademark in 2002. IMO, ICSP is one particular method/protcol for ISP. However, from what I see in industry, the two terms are interchangeable. I do not think they should be merged due to the technicality I mentioned in my opinion statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.221.240.193 (talk) 17:10, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
