The revolutionary technology which introduces the concept of production efficiency, evolving from a programming tool to a Programming System

Overview

FlashRunner 2.0 technology is revolutionary not only for its performances in terms of fast programming speed, but also for the technological leap that it represents, introducing the concept of production efficiency. 

SMH is exclusively focused on technology for the programming of microcontrollers and memories: its decennial experience led to the evolution from a simple programming tool to an actual programming system which finalizes and completes FlashRunner’s performance. 

The production environment continuously seeks efficiency, productivity and quality. These necessities are covered from FlashRunner 2.0 family which, thanks to its high flexibility and universality, offers a complete range of products from 1 to 32 independent and parallel channels. 

A complete series of peripheral features allow a deep evolution, which is similar to the changes that have involved the information and communication technology (phone and TV): namely the migration from a simple tool that guarantees its basic function to a complete and interconnected smart system.

The key-concepts that summarize FlashRunner 2.0 technology are:

Control:

  • Production control panel
  • Programming times and statistics
  • Interface libraries
  • Connections pinout

Command:

  • Project wizard
  • File transfer manager
  • Firmware and software updates
  • Windows, Linux and Mac compatible GUI interface

Security:

  • Encrypted FRB files to avoid binary hacking
  • Dump and compare features of all channels
  • LOG file and Production Report file
  • User permission management
  • Tracking of programming cycles number
  • Errors w/ language descriptions
