The SHIPCrane application is a batch programmer and container creation tool. Either command line or GUI-driven, SHIPCrane reprograms the bootloader & SHIPEngine firmware and GUIs en mass on HMI modules (SIMs), as well as bootloaders and applications on Comms/Control modules (SCMs).

• It supports multiple devices in parallel, so you can insert as many devices as you have USB ports and install your desired firmware and application combination for your production needs. SHIPCrane will program all connected devices with the imported firmware.
• It allows for modification of firmware bundles and exporting your own container file (zipped file containing SHIPPaddle, SHIPTug, SHIPEngine firmware, and a installation instruction .xml file) so you can load your preferred setup the next time you want to update boards.
• Supports both SIMs and SCMs
