    NAND Manufacturing Utility Operation Overview The NX2LP NAND Programming Utility is an application designed to download vendor configuration parameters to an NX2LP NAND memory device and automatically initialize it with FAT32 formatting. The utility can be used to program previously un-programmed (that is, "raw") NAND flash or to reprogram preconfigured NAND flash devices and enumerate as Windows Mass Storage Class devices.

  • Page 48: Vendor Parameters

    NAND Manufacturing Utility After Windows finds the driver for the NX2LP device, NandMfg identifies the flash parts which populate the device and displays information about them in the NAND Device box. However, if “Add New Part" pops up, follow the instructions given in section 5.7. Figure 5-2.

  • Page 54: Reprogramming Devices

    Device. Because the NX2LP NAND Programming Utility can only program NAND flashes mounted on Cypress NX2LP devices, it needs a method to discern NX2LP storage devices from other (non- NX2LP) devices. This distinction is made based on the device's VID/PID.

New NAND Part When you click Save, the parameters are saved in a second lookup table called OtherParts.xml, located at <install directory>\CY3686 NX2LP-FLEX DVK\<ver>\MfgTool. This table is always searched before NandParts.xml when the utility tries to identify a part. OtherParts.xml is not distributed with the NX2LP Programming Utility because it does not yet exist and is created by the utility when a new part's parameters need to be saved.

Place the SOP component into the socket. The lids must be closed simultaneously to assure proper seating of the SOP component. If this is not observed, the component shifts to the center of the socket resulting in an unsatisfactory electrical connection.

  • Page 64: Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions Q1: What is the maximum size of the hex file that can be programmed on to the NAND flash using the NX2LP programming utility? A1: The NX2LP programming utility can only handle hex code files upto 16 KB in size (0x0000 - 0x3FFF), which is the internal RAM boundary of the NX2.
  • Page 65 Flex Development Kit. If the particular NAND flash part is present in the file, it shows up on the NX2LP programming utility. If a part that cannot be found in the lookup table is detected, the "Add New Nand Part" dialog box pops up. For the NAND parts to function properly with the NX2LP, it is crucial to set the parameters in the dialog accurately.
  • Page 66 we can calculate the logical reported size of the disk for a 512-MB NAND with 2K page size (assumption is 64 pages per block). NANDMfg.exe calculates the physical size of the device as 2048B (bytes per page) * 64 (pages per block) * 1024 (physical blocks per zone) * 4 (zones) = 512MB (M = 1024 * 1024).
