standards for in PCB programming pads
1019 1 Dec 27.2019, 17:44:25

Are there any standards for in PCB programming pads?
size?
shape?
pad spacing?
location on board?
pad ordering?
supply pins required as pads?
Also, how are these details given to the PCB manufacturer?
What about flashing software, and how to use it, and what OS it requires?

Well, I'd recommend test points at least 30 mils o.d. (bare SMT pads, or vias / TH pads) and 60 mils spacing (center to center).
You can place them pretty much anywhere.  It might be handy to arrange them in patterns.  TAG-Connect is a good example; you can use the connector-of-nails to program it during development, or a bed-of-nails test fixture in production.
Often you'll see a row of pads which run to obvious locations (power, ground, microcontroller), either a serial or TWI or JTAG port, or something like that.  For a production test fixture, there's no reason to arrange them that way, it's just fun.

The other day, I was just curious about checking lottery results and stumbled upon a good site. I wanted to find something reliable for this, so I found 1win login bangladesh. The website makes it really easy to check live lottery results, and everything is updated quickly. They also offer other features like detailed information on past results and bonuses for regular users.
