Three FlashRunner Matrix Inside a Fixture

FlashRunner FR01M01 is a member of the FlashRunner I Series of universal, standalone in-system programmers. It is targeted at production environments, easily and seamlessly integrates on test fixtures and can work either in full standalone mode or controlled by a host system. FlashRunner FR01M01 provides connections for programming up to eight ISP sites thanks to the built-in ISP lines multiplexing.
  • Eight ISP sites (multiplexed);
  • Fastest programming algorithms (as fast as target device's memory technology limit), approved by silicon manufacturers;
  • Easy ATE integration;
  • Standalone operations (projects and code images stored on a memory card);
  • Also controllable by any host system via RS-232 or Ethernet;
  • Supports most ISP protocols (BDM, JTAG, SPI, I2C, MON, ICC, SCI, etc.);
  • Flexible, fully configurable;
  • Compact and robust design for production environments;
  • Data integrity guaranteed (every data transfer to/from the host system or Secure Digital card is CRC tagged).

FlashRunner Matrix

FlashRunner features state-of-the-art electronics to provide you with high integration flexibility in a compact footprint.

  • 9 to 24V power supply input;
  • Five digital I/O lines per ISP site;
  • Two digital I/O or analog output lines per ISP site;
  • Two programmable output voltages (0 to 14.5V, 250mA and 0 to 5.5V, 500mA) per ISP site;
  • One programmable clock output per ISP site;
  • Secure Digital memory card (up to 2 GB);
  • 512 bytes on-board dynamic memory;
  • On-board timekeeper and calendar;
  • I/O protection;
  • Optoisolated inputs for project selection;
  • Two optoisolated command inputs (START and STOP);
  • Three optoisolated status outputs (FAIL, PASS, BUSY);
  • One optoisolated RS-232 channel;
  • One optoisolated Ethernet channel.

FlashRunner's open architecture makes its firmware easily upgradable to support both new devices and new features.

FlashRunner Control Panel

FlashRunner Matrix is set up and controlled via ASCII-based commands. FlashRunner can receive and execute commands in two ways:

  • Over the RS-232 or Ethernet connection (Host mode);
  • Via "scripts" stored in its SD card (Standalone mode).

In the first case, FlashRunner is controlled by a host system (e.g. Windows HyperTerminal); in the latter case, FlashRunner works in standalone mode and is fully autonomous.

  • Fully autonomous standalone mode thanks to its SD memory card (FAT16);
  • Controllable by any host system through a terminal utility and simple ASCII protocol;
  • Unlimited projects (scripts);
  • Log files;
  • Erase, blank check, program, read, verify, oscillator trimming, etc.

FlashRunner comes with a Windows utility that allows you to communicate with the instrument and perform the most common operations: send commands, manage SD card files, update the instrument's firmware, etc.
