FlashRunner:

FlashRunner is a universal, production In-System Programmer. It is the result of many years of experience in developing programming and debugging solutions for microcontrollers.
FlashRunner has been carefully designed to be:

• Universal – Supports multiple device manufacturers
• Fast – Reduced programming time means reduced production costs
• Flexible – Can be applied to any programming configuration
• Reliable – Features ensuring data integrity and uninterrupted production flow

In-System Programming:

The programming of devices In-Circuit or In-System (ISP) eliminates limitations associated
with traditional programmable devices (On-Socket or Pre-Programmed). ISP delivers benefits
to In-Board and System Level design, manufacturing and programming processes.

• ISP makes manufacturing easier and cheaper
• ISP devices can be programmed while the devices are already soldered to the PCB
• ISP makes firmware updates possible without additional costs
• Lower manufacturing costs, enables flexible in-circuit testing, and delivers faster time-to-market

The Flash Runner Series

A – The top panel protects the main hardware and replicates status LEDs. CAn be easily removed if space is an issue when integrating in your programming/testing system.
B – A built-in timekeeper/calendar allows for detailed, timestamped logs. Production problems can thus be traced back to the exact moment they happened.
C – Flashrunner uses a standard, removable Secure Digital card (up to 2GB) to store binary image files, projects and log files.
D – Mounts easily inside ATE and test fixtures. Compatible with Agilent, Teradyne, SPEA, Genrad and other systems.
E – The connection layer provides connectors to interface to your programming/testing system. Includes optoisolation circuity and an Ethernet connector to interface to a host system.
F – The programming engine layer (common to all Flashrunner Series instruments) contains all of the Flashrunner electronics in a compact footprint.
