A Revolutionary,
Universal, Production In-System Programmer
FlashRunner Programmer Solutions
FlashRunner is a revolutionary,
universal, production In-System Programmer.
FlashRunner is the outcome of many years of
experience in developing programming and
debugging solutions for the most popular
microcontrollers. FlashRunner has been carefully
designed to be:
- Used in a
production environment
- Extremely
fast
- Completely
configurable and updatable without requiring
any additional external component
- Safe (data
integrity guaranteed)
The
Advantage of 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
- ISP
devices can be programmed while the devices
are already soldered to the PCB
- Lower
manufacturing costs, enables flexible
in-circuit testing, and delivers faster
time-to-market

Built for Speed
FlashRunner has been built for speed.
Both the hardware and firmware have been
engineered to work together in such an
efficient way as to eliminate
communication bottlenecks. On top of
this, fast Programming Algorithms have
been developed that reach the memory
technology speed limit of the target
device. This makes FlashRunner one of
the fastest universal In-System
Programmers on the market, enabling you
to significantly cut production costs. |
 |
Extensive Device Coverage
FlashRunner's fully reconfigurable and
flexible hardware is capable of
programming a vast amount of Flash-based
microcontrollers and serial memories.
Currently supporting more than 3000
devices, FlashRunner's device list is
continuously increasing at a fast pace.
Thanks to special partnerships with the
most important Silicon Manufacturers,
our engineers are constantly updated
with first-hand technical information,
which results in prompt and
comprehensive device support. |
 |
Compact and Robust
FlashRunner features state-of-the-art
electronics to provide you with high
integration flexibility in a compact
footprint. Every component of the system
has been engineered to withstand the
harshest production environments.
Optoisolation, ESD protection, CRC on
data transfers and detailed reports make
FlashRunner the perfect choice when
certainty of the programming flow is of
the utmost importance. |
 |
Easy ATE and Fixture Integration
Its simple and versatile interface
system allows FlashRunner to be easily
and seamlessly integrated into Automatic
Test Equipment (ATE) systems.
FlashRunner is compatible with Agilent,
Teradyne, SPEA, Genrad, and other
systems and test fixtures. FlashRunner
works either in standalone mode or
driven by a host system, through
Ethernet or RS-232 connections. |
 |
Data Protection System
FlashRunner implements an optional data
protection system that makes the
contents of the binary file to be
programmed to the target device not
readable (and not duplicable) by
non-authorized people. Moreover, the
protection system extends to the
programming cycle, preventing production
personnel from tampering with the
programming flow. |
 |
Paneled PCB Programming
FlashRunner supports programming of
paneled PCBs. Multiple ISP outputs are
provided, which allow multiple device
programming whether on a single board or
distributed across multiple boards in a
panel assembly. |
 |
Technical Support and Services
Purchasing a product is only part of
solving your programming needs. We know
that you must count on professional help
should the need arise. FlashRunner is
sold and supported by a worldwide
network of resellers and system
integrators, comes with a three-year
warranty and is backed up by
knowledgeable and fast technical
support. Additionally, our engineers are
available for custom designs and
validation reports, to help you start up
your projects and providing you with
accurate programming flow
certifications. |
