I. Introduction
This NuProg-F8 user manual illustrates its hardware specifications, instructions, and
quick software installation guide. NuProg-F8 is a combination of programmer and
duplicator, which is dedicated to support high capacity memory, like UFS and eMMC. For
UFS, it provides the basic LUN/RPMB read and write, Descriptors, Attributes, and the
Flag settings. As for eMMC, it supports User Area, Boot1/2 and RPMB read and write,
also provides ExtCsd settings, as well as GPP1~4 divisions and Enhance setting. With
USB3.0 high speed transmission, Nuprog-F8 is the finest programmer and duplicator for
research and development.

5.1.3 After installation, Dediware and NuProg icons will appear on the desktop. The
Dediware icon is for StarProg and ProgMaster series programmer; NuProg is for
NuProg-E programmer.
There is another icon called DediWare_CLI; it is the Command Line software for StarProg
Series programmers, and it does not support NuProg series.

5.2 Install NuProg-F8 Programmer
5.2.1 Place an IC into a socket adaptor and attach it to the socket site.
5.2.2 Connect NuProg-F8 to the computer (USB 3.0 is recommended).
5.2.3 Once start running the Dediware, it will detect programmer automatically and
available for programming.
5.3 NuProg Installation Guide
This section will only illustrate the Copy Function. More information about the
Engineering mode, please refer to the “NuProg-E User Manual”.
5.3.1 Double click NuProg to start Dediware.

5.3.2 Software Introduction
Engineering mode and Functions: Menu includes general functions, like languages
selection, buffer settings, and firmware updates…etc. And, the function icons are
for the Engineering mode to create the master IC chip.
Programmer Information: It shows whether the programmer and the Dediware are
connected. NuProg-F8 has master device and slave devices, but when the
NuProg-F8 is connected to the PC (USB mode), it can only operate the Master Chip,
since the Copy function only works in Standalone mode. As shown as Fig 5-8, the
Firmware version of the master is 1.7.4; FPGA version is 151. The Firmware version
of the slave is 2.2.26; FPGA version is 153.

5.4 Stand Alone Mode
NuProg-F8 uses standalone mode to achieve Copy functions; standalone mode means it
can be used without connecting to a computer. Please follow the below steps:
Step 1. After turn on NuProg-F8, the main screen will show the Firmware version and
the FPGA version of the master device. When the NuProg Software is not connected to
the programmer, user can use the LCD keypad to enter the standalone mode on
NuProg-F8.
Step 2. Choose UFS or eMMC according to user’s need.

NuProg-F8 User Manual
www.dediprog.com 16
In the Print Programmer Info, the LCD will display Programmer FW/FPGA/SN…etc.
In the Check socket counter, the LCD will display each connected socket counter.
Step 3. After select Copy UFS or Copy eMMC, please set up the Batch Setting according
to user’s need, press enter to continue, and NuProg-F8 will detect the master IC.

Step 4. Set ID check enable or not. Usually it is recommended to Enable ID check. This
is designed for different chips copying, however, please note that it still has some
limitations.
Master chip size need to be smaller than the Copied chips.
Do not mix the chip types, EX: eMMC chips copy to UFS chips.
eMMC extCSD / UFS attributes, and flags have some OTP values, if the copied chips
has already been written those bit (byte), but the master IC has not, then it might
occur copy failure.
Step 5. Click enter to the next page, NuProg-F8 will initialize the master chip, after
finishing the process, the result will appear on the LCD. It shows details information of
the master IC; including the part number, the LUNs, and the partition size.

Step 6. Press enter and it will give the choices of loading the Config file (N) or
re-scanning the master IC (Y).
Step 6-1. If choosing No at Step 6, it will show Image Config, which will be saved
automatically after scanning the master IC. This selection usually will be used in the
below situations:
The users have a large count of IC devices need to copy, and need to shut down the
programmer every day.
The users want to Verify operation.
If users do not want to re-scan the master IC, they can select [No] to reduce scanning
time, but please note that NuProg-F8 only saves one default config, so if re-scan the
master IC, F8 will create another new config file and also cover the old one.

After reviewing the master IC info, press Enter to start initializing and the copy process.
Step 6-2-1. If choosing Yes at Step 6, then it will ask for the size range for scan limit
setting.

Step 6-2-2. Start scanning the master IC and it will display its result.
Step 6-2-3. Next, after reviewing the master IC info, press Enter to start initializing and
the copy process. Please also remember that F8 has already saved a new config.
Therefore, users can load it next time when they want to copy the same master IC.
Step 7. Start copying.
