1 Overview
1.1 What is FR3070A?
FR3070A is an optional daughter board that can be mounted on Agilent
Medalist In-circuit Board Test System Utility Card.
With the Agilent Medalist In-Circuit Board Test System Utility Card, the
integration of implementation of the general MCUs, Flash and EEPROM
programming or any other functional testing can be easily achieved
multiples of plug-in cards support
Dedicated 12 signal pins to DUT - (no MUX)
It provides plug-in slots for common programming protocols for MCUs, Flash
and EEPROM used in Automotive and other electronic industries.
The plug-in card should come with the necessary software and drivers that
can be integrated into the Agilent Medalist Window XP environment to
improve the user experience in developing and debugging production tests.

1.3 Package Checklist
The FR3070A package includes the following items:
FR3070A unit including pre-installed uSD cards with the programming
algorithm(s) specified at the time of purchase
FlashRunner “System Software” CD-ROM, containing the FlashRunner
Programmer’s Manual in PDF format;
User’s manual
Registration card
1.4 Hardware Overview
FR3070A is composed of one board assembly witch can be connected
through a 2 X 28 pins connectors to the Agilent Medalist In-circuit Board
Utility card
1.4.1 Power Supply
FR3070A is powered through a 12V DC power supply.
1.4.2 LAN Connection
i
Note: No magnetic is used. Isolation is done using a 0.01uF
capacitor (this is a intended to be use as a transformerless
Ethernet). Possible connection is to use similar biasing on
the plug-in side to achieve proper communication
1.4.3 ISP lines
12 specific fully configurable lines are available.

1.5 Programming Algorithms and Licenses
FR3070A 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: FR3070A 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).
1.5.1 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 FR3070A 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 (for each programming module):
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.

FR 3070 A User’s Manual
15
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 FR3070A commands, see the FlashRunner
Programmer’s Manual).
1.6 Upgrading the Firmware
The FR3070A firmware can be easily upgraded, for more information, please
refer to the FlashRunner Programmer’s Manual.

2.3 Programming example
Here below a typical example of FR3070A software interfacing:
xdload "FR3070A1"
xdconnect "FR3070A1"
xdcall "FR3070A1","send_command",Var,Rtn$; "run SCRIPT.FRS"
xdcall "FR3070A1","get_answer",Var,Rtn$; "20000"
if Rtn$ = ">" then
print "Programming Passed"
else
print "Programming Failed, The error code is "; Rtn$
end if
xddisconnect "FR3070A1"
xdunload "FR3070A1"
