The Flash Center™ Software is a software package that allows engineers to quickly erase, program, and verify I2C- and SPI-based EEPROM and Flash memory chips that are interfaced through Total Phase's Promira™ Serial Platform, Aardvark™ I2C/SPI Host Adapter, and Cheetah™ SPI Host Adapter.

Detailed technical information about the Flash Center Software can be found in the User Manual.

Please click on the appropriate software version for your operating system.  Login is required for software downloads.  If you don't have an account, you will be prompted to create an account before your download commences.

Fast Programming Speeds

The Flash Center Software takes advantage of Total Phase's high performance host adapters to maximize programming speed. Unlike other programmers which can take minutes to program a memory device, the Flash Center Software can program the same device in seconds. There are no images to download to an external programmer - the bytes are sent directly into your target device from the host computer.

Since the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter is capable of signaling at over 40 MHz, the main speed limitation is the flash memory's page commit time. The Cheetah adapter is able to erase, program, and verify a typical 1 Megabyte flash memory in only 23 seconds.

Gang Programming Support

Gang programming is easy with the Flash Center Software. By connecting multiple Aardvark I2C/SPI and/or Cheetah SPI Host Adapter to your computer, you can use any or all of the devices to program your target devices in parallel.

Device Support

Users do not need to wait for the next release to have support for their memory chips to be added to the Flash Center Software. The Flash Center Software was designed with an XML-based memory device library. By adding or modifying the XML descriptions of target memory devices, developers can instantly support almost any I2C- or SPI-based EEPROM or Flash memory.

 
Main Window
The Flash Center is a graphical application that allows developers to quickly erase, program, and verify I2C- and SPI-based EEPROM and Flash memory chips. In this screenshot, three Cheetah SPI Host Adapters are being used to gang program three SPI Flash memory chips in parallel. An Aardvark I2C/SPI has been connected, but is not being used.
Adding Adapters
The Flash Center supports the use of multiple host adapters in parallel. It can use any number of Aardvark I2C/SPI and Cheetah SPI Host Adapter at one time.
 
Transaction Log
Every action performed by the Flash Center is logged in the Transaction log for good visibility.
Memory Device Support
The Flash Center supports a large number of memory devices and the library can be expanding by loading new XML-based part descriptor files.



This is a list of the I2C and SPI memories in the Flash Center Software built-in library. If you don't see your memory part on this list, our software allows users to add memory devices to the parts library. Details on how to add additional memory devices can be found in the Flash Center Software User Manual under Section 4. If you have any further questions, please contact sales@totalphase.com.

System Requirements
Windows

The software is officially supported on 32-bit and 64-bit distributions of Windows 10, 11

Linux

The software has been designed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 with kernel 2.6, SuSE, Ubuntu, and Fedora. Please be aware that there may be significant differences and idiosyncrasies in the way that different distributions of Linux operate. As such, Total Phase may not be able to support your particular distribution of Linux. Support will be offered on a case-by-case basis.

64-bit Support

The graphical software will run on 64-bit Windows and Linux systems as a 32-bit application. However, separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the API libraries are provided to allow custom applications to be built for either architecture.

The latest firmware for the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter and Cheetah SPI Host Adapter can be downloaded from the Downloads section of the website.
