Description
The Backup Boot Flash Kit (Dual SO8W) is used as a Serial Flash Emulator for easy code development to reduce your time to market. Our Backup Boot Flash tool (included) can be connected to the application by 3 different methods:
- On the Two Main Serial flash packages soldered on board by using our Dedicated BBF Test Clip (included).
- On our Two SMT 1.27mm Pin Headers (included) soldered in place of the Two Main Serial flash footprints for better stability by using the appropriate 2.54mm to 1.27mm cable adaptor-dual header (included)
- On your application 2.54mm (2X5) BBF connector (if the application is designed with) by using the appropriate BBF cable (included).
Your application will work automatically on the Two Backup SPI Flash inserted in our tool SO8W sockets that can be changed easily or even updated easily for new trials with our SF100 programmer (included). Our Kit is completely transparent for the application and will offer to developer high flexibility for code trials or updates. The Kit is frequently used to boot failing computers and use the Flash Utility tools to update the corrupted Bios memories.
Please note that the BBF modules only support 3.3V/2.5V IC.
For offline programming demand only, it is recommended to use a socket adaptor.
Features
- Dual Serial Flash emulator transparent for the application
- Compatible with most of the applications (no hardware modification needed)
- Disable automatically the Two main serial flash soldered on board (no need to remove them)
- Image download speed at 1Mbits/s to SPI flash and read at 2Mbits/s
- USB Interface
- Signal conflict protections
Application Hardware Requirement
- Pull up resistor between Hold Pin and Vcc if serial flash on the application is not removed (schematics available under request).
- The two application serial flash must use the same SPI bus been driven by two different chip selects.
