0.1 Important Notice to Users
While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of all information in
this document, SMH Technologies assumes no liability to any party for any
loss or damage caused by errors or omissions or by statements of any kind
in this document, its updates, supplements, or special editions, whether such
errors are omissions or statements resulting from negligence, accidents, or
any other cause.
0.2 Safety
FlashRunner is a low-voltage device. However, when integrating it inside an
automatic test equipment or when interfacing it with other systems, take all
precautions in order to avoid electrical shocks due to, for example, different
ground references.
Make all connections to the target system before applying power to the
instrument.
To protect FlashRunner against electrostatic discharge (ESD), always
connect yourself to ground (e.g. via wrist straps) when handling the
instrument.
Always store FlashRunner inside an antistatic bag when not in use.

1.2 Package Checklist
The FlashRunner FR01LAN package includes the following items:
FlashRunner FR01LAN unit, including an SD card already pre-installed
with the programming algorithm(s) you specified at the time of
purchase;
An Ethernet cross cable;
A serial cable;
FlashRunner “System Software” CD-ROM, containing the FlashRunner
Control Panel utility and the FlashRunner Programmer’s Manual in PDF
format;
This user’s manual;
A registration card.
1.3 Hardware Overview
FlashRunner FR01LAN is composed of three layers. From bottom to top:
Connection Layer. Provides D-Sub connectors to interface to your
programming/testing system. Includes optoisolation circuitry and a LAN
and RS-232 connectors to interface to a host system.
Programming Engine Layer. Contains the FlashRunner programming
engine, the core of the instrument.
Cover Layer. The cover layer has the function of protecting the
underlying layers and replicating the programming engine’s status
LEDs. If space is an issue when integrating FlashRunner in your
programming/testing system, the cover layer can be easily removed.

Overview
1.3.4 Target Connectors
The “ISP” and “CONTROL” D-Sub connectors are used to interface to an
external target system/programming equipment.
i Note: for the pinout of the “ISP” and “CONTROL” connector,
see “Connectors” on page 29.
1.3.5 Start Push-Button
The “START” push-button is directly connected to the FlashRunner START
line in the “CONTROL” D-Sub connector.
1.3.6 Optoisolation
All signals in the “CONTROL”, “LAN” and “RS-232” connectors are
optoisolated. See “Connectors” on page 29 for more information.
1.4 Programming Algorithms and Licenses
FlashRunner FR01LAN includes programming algorithms for several
devices. In order to program a specific device, however, a specific license
file for that device must be purchased.
i Note: FlashRunner FR01LAN comes already preinstalled
with the license(s) you specified at the moment of purchase.
You can purchase additional licenses at any future moment.
Programming algorithms and license files are stored in the SD card (see the
FlashRunner Programmer’s Manual for more information).

FR01LAN User's Manual
1.4.1 Installing New Licenses
When you buy an additional license for a specific device, you will get:
An algorithm file (.alg);
A license file (.lic);
A device-specific script example (.frs).
The .alg file contains the actual programming algorithm for the requested
device (and several other devices of the same family).
The .lic file contains an unlocking code that will let you use the programming
algorithm. A license file enables the use of a specific programming algorithm
on a specific FlashRunner instrument (licenses are serial number specific).
The script file contains an example of script to use as a starting point for your
specific programming needs (for more information on scripts, see the
FlashRunner Programmer’s Manual).
To install the new license, do the following:
1. Copy the .alg file into the \ALGOS directory of the SD card (if an
.alg file with the same name already exists, overwrite it);
2. Copy the .lic file into the \LICENSES directory of the SD card.
To copy files on the SD card, use either a standard card reader connected to
a PC or transfer the files using the FlashRunner FSSENDFILE command
(for more information on FlashRunner commands, see the FlashRunner
Programmer’s Manual).
Alternatively, you can use the FlashRunner Control Panel utility to install new
programming algorithms and licenses. For more information on the
FlashRunner Control Panel please refer to the FlashRunner Programmer’s
Manual.
1.5 Upgrading the Firmware
The FlashRunner firmware can be easily upgraded using the provided
Control Panel utility. For more information, please refer to the FlashRunner
Programmer’s Manual.
