While not as fast as dedicated programmers, its compatibility with universal JTAG tools makes it indispensable for high-mix, low-volume production, or when integrating into existing boundary-scan test suites. Future versions will further optimize speed and file size, making SVF-based programming viable even for large-flash devices.
