Intel Flash Memory Programmer
Product Overview
The Intel Flash Memory Programmer provides
system designers with an extremely fast prototyping tool supporting the full line of Intel
Flash memories.
A significant enhancement to its predecessor,
FlashPRO, the Intel Flash Memory Programmer
adds the ability to:
- Support logic levels below 5V
- Program devices at near theoretical performance
- Support all TSOP lead counts via a single socket module
New devices are supported upon their introduction
via software upgrades posted on
Intel's World Wide Web site.
Socket modules are sold separately; you
buy only what you need. This keeps your
cost down, while providing quick-turn
support for future devices.
Product Description
The Intel Flash Memory Programmer is a
high-performance engineering programmer.
It attaches to a standard parallel port, thereby
reducing cost by using some of the PC's
resources. With this programmer, system
designers can program and erase all Intel
Flash memory devices. User-selectable
block locking/unlocking support is available
for devices having that functionality.
Support for a particular device requires use of
a separately-available socket module (please
see ordering information). Family
module boards come with the base tool and
are another integral part of the system. They
keep costs down by routing power and
ground for different device families via inexpensive
circuit boards with SIMM-like connector
edges.
The included user's manual provides information
on supported file formats, system requirements,
menu commands, status and settings
displays, buffer editor usage, macro file
(FLSHPRO2.INI) usage, troubleshooting,
and technical support contacts.
As well as being very user-friendly, the
FLSHPRO2 graphical interface is similar to
the previous FlashPRO and D,FLASHEVAL
interfaces, reducing the user's learning curve.
On-line help guides users through the
tool's extensive capabilities without requiring
them to access instruction manuals.
Because of its intuitive menu structure
and on-line help, even new users will be
programming quickly.
