Used in combination with either the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter or the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter, Flash Center enables users to quickly and easily program their I2C- or SPI-based flash memories or EEPROMs.
Last quarter we added native support for Spansion and Micron serial NOR Flash memory, and we’ve just included built-in support for many SPI Flash SST memories. Now customers working these memories can simply select their part from the pre-loaded library and hit program. Users working with a part not in our library are still able to enjoy the ease of the Flash Center Software. Our software has a user extensible library allowing one to load his part into the system. For instructions on how to add your own part file, visit our online manual.
Additional features included in this release are:
| • |
Support for Auto Address Increment (AAI) Programming, which provides faster performance for certain memory chips. |
| • |
Full support for 3 or 4 byte addressing. This facilitates the programming of large memories of 256 MB or greater. |
| • |
The ability to issue user-defined commands, allowing support for memories with command structures outside of the Flash Center Software. |
