Overview
FlashRunner I series (patent pending) is
a range of high-performance, standalone In-System
Programmers specific for Flash-based microcontrollers
and serial memories. FlashRunner I series is
targeted at production environments and can
work either in full standalone mode or controlled
by a host system.
- 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 (depending on the model);
- 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).
All of the models of the FlashRunner I series
have been designed for maximum performance and
reliability.
Hardware Features
FlashRunner Core
FlashRunner features state-of-the-art electronics
to provide you with high integration flexibility
in a compact footprint.
- 9 to 24V DC power supply input (110/220V
AC for the FR01PRO model);
- Five digital I/O lines;
- Two digital I/O or analog output lines;
- Two programmable output voltages (0 to 15V,
0.25A and 0 to 5V, 0.5A);
- One analog input line;
- One programmable clock output;
- 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);
- Optoisolated RS-232/Ethernet channel.
FlashRunner's open architecture makes its
firmware easily upgradable to support both new
devices and new features.
Software Features
FlashRunner Control Panel
FlashRunner 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.
