2 Overview 2.1 What is FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation? FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation is a compact high-integration in-system gang programmer, based on the new and innovative FlashRunner 2.0 cutting-edge technology. FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation is designed for programming multi- PCB panel assemblies, with microcontroller, eMMC and NAND memories.
FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation is composed of a carrier board that hosts up to 4 programming channels. The engine board on top of it is a System on Module enclosing FlashRunner 2.0 core technology in a compact and easy to integrate format.
2.1.1 General features ▪ Fastest programming algorithms (as fast as target device’s memory technology limit), approved by silicon manufacturers; ▪ Up to 4 parallel and independent channels ▪ Easy ATE integration; ▪ Standalone operations ▪ Controllable by ATE through optoisolated LAN and USB, or parallel control lines; ▪...
▪ Erase, blank check, program, read, verify, oscillator trimming, etc. 2.2 Package Checklist FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation comes in packaging variants: Open-Frame and Closed-Case. The relative packages include the following items: Table 1: FlashRunner 2.0 NXG Open Frame Package Checklist Qty.

2.3 Hardware Overview 2.3.1 Power Supply FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation is powered through a 15V power supply connected to a DC plug connector. 2.3.2 ATE Control Connector ATE Control DIN Connectors are used by an ATE system to control FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation instead of communicating with the instrument through the USB or...
LAN Connector LAN Connector is used to communicate with Host PC system. Use provided cross cable to connect FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation with your PC. For more information check chapter 2.3.3 and check related documentation on FlashRunner 2.0 Programmer's Manual to correctly set up your host PC system 2.3.4...
DAC and ADC for the measurement of VPROG currents and voltages has been successful. If the test passes, the STATUS_LED stays on. If the test fails, the STATUS_LED blinks. If the STATUS_LED remains off there is something wrong. Figure 4: FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation Top Panel...
You can purchase additional licenses at any future moment. Programming drivers and license files are stored inside FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation storage memory (see the FlashRunner 2.0 Programmer’s Manual for more information).
FR2.0A16, you could purchase a Channel Upgrade License. Please ask our Sales Team (sales@smh-tech.com). 2.6 Upgrading the Firmware FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation firmware can be easily upgraded using the FlashRunner 2.0 WorkBench software. For more information, please refer to the FlashRunner 2.0 Programmer’s Manual.
This chapter will explain how to set up FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation for the first time. The new FR2.0 WorkBench project Wizard allows an easy and fast system setup.
▪ Interface FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation with your test/programming equipment; ▪ Connect FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation to host PC system (if you use it in Host Mode); ▪ Power up FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation; ▪ Set up LAN settings (if you use the Ethernet connection);...
Note on DIN41612 connectors: The use of these connectors implies that the pin assignment of a possible type C/2 female connector will be mirrored over the rows with respect to the pin assignment of the R/2 male onboard. Therefore, pin A1 of the R/2 male will correspond to A16 on the C/2 female, B1 will correspond to B16 and so forth.
4.3 ATE Control Connector ATE Control Connector is used to communicate with the host system and for integration with automatic programming/testing equipment (ATE). Note: all control signals are referenced to GND_I, separate from GND. This allows a host system to safely communicate with FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation even when the target boards have different ground reference compared to the host system’s (and it’s not possible to connect them together).
You can use the provided expansion board to connect to the control interface’s signals which are indicated on the board’s silkscreen. Figure 8: Control Interface expansion board 4.4 USB Connector The USB-B connector can be used to communicate with the ATE system. Note: USB signals are referenced to GND_USB, separate from GND, and GND_I.
It can be upgraded to a 4 channels version according to your needs. Please contact your sales representative for further information. Figure 9: FRLAN2P0NXGRB two channels relay barrier Relay barrier is self-powered when plugged into FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation.
The driving signals for the relays are given by the FlashRunner through the dedicated pins.
