Project Description
FlashRunner is a fully-equipped programming system used all over the world in production lines to flash microcontrollers, memories, and other architectures through the ISP programming method, that is to say, when the devices are already mounted on the PCBs.
In this article, SMH Technologies’ Team explains some of the key features that make FlashRunner the optimal choice for integration into production environments. Today our focus will be on FlashRunner’s Scalability, Robustness and In-Field Reliability.
FlashRunner Scalability
FlashRunner portfolio offered to the market is extremely scalable. It suits all of the ISP applications a programmer could be applied for.
Different hardware versions of the same product cover all the requirements a customer would expect from an ISP programmer:
1) FlashRunner NXG reaches up to 4 channels
2) FlashRunner 2.0 single layer reaches up to 8 channels
3) FlashRunner 2.0 double layer reaches up to 16 channels.
Nothing is forcing to use all the channels available in the programming system; it is possible to use just a single channel. Furthermore, the number of channels is upgradable until the maximum is reached on the platform the customer owns.
This is a very powerful feature that could be exploited to capitalize the hardware solution for future projects that could require more parallelism.
FlashRunner Robustness
Not only the aluminium black-anodized appearance gives the impression of a solid and professional programming system, but also the hardware design and what is behind the cover is thought to work 24/7.
FlashRunner is a robust and industrial ISP programmer employed into production lines from the littlest to the biggest ones of the Electronic Manufacturing and Original Equipment Manufacturer, respectively and commonly called EMS/OEM spread in the world.
FlashRunner are high quality products that aim to satisfy at best market and customer needs.
FlashRunner In-Field Reliability
Counting more than 15.000 devices in its ISP targets portfolio, FlashRunner is a reliable solution to count on when looking for an ISP programmer for new projects.
Most likely, the ISP targets of the project are already supported in the device list or could be inserted after an efficient developing activity. For even further reliability of the programming solution, it is also possible to request a Custom Project Startup activity (CPS).
The concept behind this activity is to study the customer’s boards in all their aspects and to provide a detailed guideline on how to flash the ISP targets in the best way using FlashRunner.
The CPS has two main benefits among all the rest:
1) Helps to integrate FlashRunner in the best way to program the ISP targets requested
2) Guarantee and certify that the programming solution is working on the ISP targets requested.
These are just a few of the features that render FlashRunner the ideal product for your business. In the upcoming article focusing on this innovative product, we will delve into its Universality, Flexibility, and Performance.
