BlackcatUSB Flash Memory Programmer

The cost-effective way to read and program thousands of flash memory devices. This device can program all CFI compatible flash devices over JTAG and can also program SPI high-density serial flash devices. Hardware support can be added using a easy to use device script feature. Solderless SPI sockets are available here for SOIC-16, SOIC-8 and DIP-8.

 

Last updated: May 2, 2012

Support for extra high density devices, as well as other improvements have been made to the software. The following devices have been added: MXIC MX25L256, Spansion S25FL256, and the Micron ST N25Q series of chips: N25Q128, N25Q256, N25Q512, N25Q00A. In addition, write speed for many legacy devices (usually in the 1-8mbit range) has been increased by 25%. Updated: also added support for the entire line of PCT rebranded SST NOR SPI Flash devices.

Support for the Nordic nRF24LE1 microcontroller has been added. You can now use the updated software and SPI firmware to program the 16KB of flash memory of the device over USB. (See picture in action)
Full SVF (and XSVF) file format support has been added. This allows programming of many FPGA and CPLD devices, such as the Xilinx Coolrunner chips (XC2C64A etc). In addition, the new JTAG firmware allows you to enable a VCC pin (adjacent to TMS) that can be used to power an additional device, such as the chip you are trying to program (5v or 3.3v, up to 100ma).

The full source code (with personal use license) is now available for the software. The software can be compiled using Visual Studio.net (and the free express version can be used too).

Software has been updated to support Atmel's AT45D series of SPI memory chips. In addition, the software is now multi-language and supports English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish.
