That's pretty common terminology in PLC's though. You also download to Koyo PLC's from Automation Direct.

- MC995 1y agoSame with Rockwell (Allen-Bradley) PLCs. You download a program to the PLC, and upload a program from a PLC. I always assumed the naming confusion for those was just a matter of perspective; if you are thinking about a "download" from the perspective of the PLC receiving the file or the user sending the file.
- userbinator 1y agoAlso in embedded systems development, one downloads the application to the target device.
- sokoloff 1y agoI more commonly see that called “upload” (Arduino, platform.io, avrdude, esptool) rather than “download”.
- userbinator 1y agoThat is likely, for lack of a better word, an Arduino-ism. Compare a search for "ISP downloader" vs "ISP uploader"; the latter yields exclusively Arduino results, while the former has results for not only Arduino but other MCUs and even FPGAs and CPLDs' programming devices as well as JTAG.
