1. Introduction

The NanoBeacon IN100 MP Command tool is used to burn and test the IN100 using the command
line mode. The IN100 device supports a host controller interface, as shown in Figure 1, and this
document will describe how to burn the device with a host controller through this interface.

Figure 1: NanoBeacon device in host controller mode

The MP Command Tool is used with NanoBeacon Config Tool to facilitate the user to do the device
programming and test during mass production.

The process is as follows.

1. First debug the prototype with NanoBeaconConfigTool according to the application
requirements. Then save the configuration to a file.
2. Use the config file saved in step 1 as input and start the executable file
beacon_mp_cmd.exe of MP Command Tool via command line to burn it into the device.
3. The operation flow of the MP Command Tool is as follows
