www.dediprog.com 14
3.5 Configuration Window Description

This feature allows users to configure advanced settings
3.5.1 Batch Operation Option
A. Update a Whole file with Blank check

When user clicks “Batch”, the following operations will be automatically executed:
1) Read the memory content
2) Blank check (check if Chip is erased)
3) Erase the whole memory if not blank
4) Program the whole memory with the file
5) Verify if the memory content is identical with the programmed file.
www.dediprog.com 15
B. Update a Whole file without Blank check
When the user clicks on Batch button, the following operations will be automatically
executed:
1) Erase the whole memory
2) Program the whole memory with the file
3) Verify if the memory content is identical with the programmed file.
C. Update memory only on sector locations with contents difference or Smart
update
User can select the sector locations to have the file programmed.
- Update start from address (Hex):
To program a whole file starting from address 0 of a chip.
- Update up to address (Hex):
To program a whole file, ending at the last address of a chip. The default ending
address will automatically calculated by the software according to memory size.
executed:
1) Read the memory content
2) Compare the memory content from the given address with the file at the 64KB
sector base
3) Erase only the 64KB sectors with some differences
4) Program only the erased sectors with the file data of the corresponding address
5) Verify the data on the updated 64KB sectors
Smart Update can be used in the following cases:

- A small file can be programmed or updated at a given address without any
change on the rest of the memory (local update).
- A file with only minor change compare to the memory content can be quickly
updated. The sectors without difference are kept unchanged.
Note:
The file data which are identical with the target memory but with an address shift
(after compilation) will be interpreted as different and will not benefit of the Smart
update advantages.
www.dediprog.com 16
D. Update memory and keep one protected area unchanged
executed:
1) Read the memory content from the given address for the given length
2) Insert the read memory contents into the file buffer
3) Erase the whole chip
4) Program the whole chip with the updated file in step 2
5) Verify the programmed data
E. Update memory according to Region configuration

Sometimes user only wants to update some part of the data in SPI Flash. User can use
this function to update the data in the assigned region. This function saves time when
debugging.
1) Assign the Region and set start & end address of the Region.
2) Select working region
F. Enable Freescale EzPort MCU & Send the DIV value (Hex)
If the box is checked, the programmer will automatically enable EzPort. Details please see
the « Help EzPort User Manual»
www.dediprog.com 17
G. Send Specific Data
If the box is checked, the software will load and send the engineering SPI sequence defined
and saved in the “Engineering Mode” Configuration window. This option allows user to create
his/her own SPI instruction.
H. Identify Chip
If the box is checked, the software will identify before operation starts.
I. Reload file each time

If the box is checked, the software will load the same file from the source destination each
time before the batch operations (refresh). This option is helpful when another software
update the file in parallel (like compiler).
J. Require Verification after completion

If this box is checked, the software will verify the contents between the source file and the
programmed Serial Flash contents after the batch operations.

3.5.2 Program Configurations
A. Program a whole file starting from address 0 of a chip

B. Program from specific address of a chip: To program a whole file starting from address
0 of a chip.
C. Program up to specific address of a chip: To program a whole file, ending at the last
address of a chip. The default ending address will automatically calculated by the
software according to memory size.
If the file is smaller than the target Serial Flash, user can define how to fill the rest of the SPI
Flash. By default FFh or 00h if selected in the interface.
www.dediprog.com 22
3.5.3 Engineering Mode
This function allows users to define their own SPI command and send it directly to the target
SPI flash. This option is powerful as all the not standard SPI commands can be generated even
if not supported by our programmer.
Users can define the data bytes to be sent from the programmer to the SPI Flash and the
number of bytes to be returned. Users can also define if the status register WIP bit has to be
polled to check if the SPI Flash is busy or ready.
Users can save the stream data for future use by click on the “Save” button.
For example:
User wants to write “01 02 03” data bytes at the address “00 00 00” and verify.
First: programmer needs to set the WEL bit by sending the WREN (06h) command to the
SPI Flash as described below:
www.dediprog.com 23
Second: programmer needs to send the programming instruction “02h” followed by the
address “00 00 00” and the data “01 02 03” and monitor the Status register WIP bit as
described below:
Third: The programmer need to verify the SPI Flash content by sending the Read
instruction “03h” and the address “00 00 00” then read the return bytes from the SPI
Flash (we read 8 bytes in the following example):
The return bytes from the SPI Flash are displayed in the “from SPI Flash” window:
“01 02 03 FF FF FF FF FF”.
The engineering mode can be used to send any instruction to the SPI Flash.
www.dediprog.com 24
3.5.4 Modify Status Register
This function allows users to modify or read the status register(s) value of the target serial
flash.
Please note each chip has their own command to write status registers.
For chip only has one status register:

- For write: “06h” to set the Write Enable and “01h” and user data” to write the status
register
- For Read: “05h” to read the status register
For chip has two status registers:

- Please refer to the device specification for parameter setting.
www.dediprog.com 25
3.5.5 Miscellaneous Settings
A. Vpp Option
This setting allows user to enable the Vpp option so the High voltage is applied on the
SPI Flash Wp pin to reduce the programming and erasing time.
This option can only be enabled on Serial Flash supporting the Vpp feature.
B. Vcc Option
SF series programmers support 3.5V, 2.5V, and 1.8V Vcc. Default of 3.5V Vcc is applied
after the software installation. User is able to change the Vcc configuration here and
the Vcc setting will be changed and saved until next modification.
www.dediprog.com 26
C. SPI Clock Setting
The SPI clock frequency can be adjusted by user to fit the application requirements or
SPI Flash performance. Notice that the SPI Flash frequency is defined in the supplier
specification for a maximum capacitance usually of 30pf or 15pF max. The application
is therefore designed to not exceed this maximum capacitance. In circuit programming
does not fulfill anymore this original design as additional capacitance will be added
according to the cable length and programmer. Therefore, user cannot expect to
program the on board SPI flash according to the maximum frequency of the datasheet
as the SPI flash will not be able to drive such capacitance at such high frequency.
In order to comply with the different capacitance and SPI flash driving capability,
DediProg provides frequency adjustment of the programmer. Frequency needs to be
reduced if the data timings do not comply with the specification.
D. Tool Bar ICON Configuration

Users can hide some tool bar icons if they unselect the icon items in the “tool bar icon
configuration setting”. For example, if the engineer only wants the operators to use
batch icon, he/she can leaves only batch icon selected and save the setting. The
operators will only see the batch icon on the tool bar.
www.dediprog.com 27
3.5.6 Flash Option
There’re three kinds of options.
A. Unprotect block automatically when block(s) protected.
B. Enable automatically unprotect Individual WP mode
C. Translate program address to page+offset in standard DataFlash page size.

For example: AT45DB642D program address 0x8000 translate to 0xF820 (page+offset)
www.dediprog.com 28
3.6 Supported Devices, Software Version, Firmware Version
User can check the Serial flash support list in our web site. This support list is valid for the
latest software and firmware so user will have to check the current software and
firmware version he is using and update it if necessary.
www.dediprog.com 29
IV. DediProg SF Software Production GUI

DediProg SF software production GUI is only available after the software version 5.x.x. The
production GUI allows users to plug in and operate multiple SF100/SF600/SF600Plus in the
same time.
The new software will remove the old USB driver when it detects such driver during the
installation. New USB driver is required in order to run the software and the driver will come
together with the software CD ROM or it can be downloaded from DediProg website.
In order to run more than one SF programmer in the same time reliably, USB hub with
individual power supply is highly recommended.
Multi-Programmers Capability for SF series programmers
www.dediprog.com 30
In order to run production GUI, USB plug in of all the intended programmers is required prior
to opening the software. It is not recommended to add (plug in) or reduce (unplug) any
number of programmers when the software is already opened.
The production software does not provide auto chip detect feature and therefore
“programmer search” and “chip select” are required prior to any other operations.
The production GUI manual will only illustrate the items not covered by the engineering GUI.
Therefore function explanations such as Program, Erase, Blank check, etc will not be repeated
here.
Status window Programmer Site Status bar Log Window
www.dediprog.com 31
4.1 Search and Select
When click on “search”, the software will show programmer type. The default of programmer
type is SF100. Please select the programmer you are using and click Rescan.
Search Programmer:
The found programmers will be listed along with site number. The site number is given by the
Window OS randomly and therefore users can use the “blink”, “up” and “down” button to
adjust the real sequence of the connected programmer. When click on “blink”, the connected
programmer will blink on its green LED once. Users can use this feature to locate the
programmer associated with its site number. For programmers with firmware version after
5.x.x, DediProg will write a serial number in the hardware before shipping out and the serial
number will be displayed in the following screen snapshot.
www.dediprog.com 32
Select Memory Type:
The production software does not provide auto chip detect feature users will need to select
the target memory manually.
Select a Manufacturer Manually selected chip type
After the search step and the to-be-programmed chip is selected, the main GUI will have
updated information on the Programmer SITE Status bar, the status window and the log
window.
www.dediprog.com 33
4.2 Batch Config
By clicking on the “Config” icon, users can access to configure the batch setting.
Users may click on the option “Send Specific Data” for sending the stream data before
reading/writing the device. This customized SPI sequence can be created in the “engineering
interface”.
Users may click on the “Add” or “Remove” for Batch Operation Options directly.
4.3 Single Site programming

Right-click to a specific Programmer Site number, users will have the access of programming
options to the pointed programmer site.
www.dediprog.com 34
V. DediProg Windows Command Line

5.1 Introduction
The window command line has been designed to control our programmer from the other
software. This feature will be convenient to synchronize the two software in development
(For example: program the memory automatically after the code has been compiled) or in
production (for example: Program automatically the Serial Flash via the ICT tester after the
hardware has been checked).
Command result “log.txt” file will be automatically saved under following folders:
Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\DediProg\SF100
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\DediProg\SF100
This .txt file has to be checked to make sure that the operation has been successful. Time
stamp can also be checked to be sure that the result has been updated with a new value.
Below are the error messages in the log.txt file.

FAIL Identify Fail
FAIL Blank Fail

VI. Specific Functions (SF600 and SF600Plus)

6.1 Dual/Quad IO
User can find Dual/Quad IO option in Config/Miscellaneous Settings.
The default of Dual/Quad IO option is “Always Single IO”.
SF600 and SF600Plus support Dual and Quad IO. When using a SPI Flash with Dual/Quad IO
function, user can select Dual or Quad IO mode.
Note: Socket mode only supports Single/Dual IO. When use the socket programming the
Quad IO function will disable.
6.2 Hold Pin Status Setting

SF600 and SF600Plus programmer is available to set HOLD pin status through software.
Please go through Config and change it under engineering mode. Click on HOLD button to
change the status of HIGH or LOW. This function is available at SF600 and SF600Plus.
www.dediprog.com 44
VII. Stand Alone Mode (SF600Plus only)

In addition to the functions provided by SF100 and SF600, SF600Plus further allow users
download project to SF600Plus directly and to program serial flash memories in the
standalone mode.
7.1 Project preparation

Prepare a stand alone programming project.
7.1.1 Open DediProg Engineer software.
7.1.2 Select IC brand and part number.
www.dediprog.com 45
7.1.3 Load the programing file.
7.1.4 Click “Config” Icon to set programming flow.

Important Notice:
“Identify Chip” is necessary for SF600plus stand alone programming.
Be sure to include “Identify Chip” in programming flow.

7.1.5 Choosing Stand Alone start mode
7.1.6 Save dprj file to PC.
www.dediprog.com 47
7.1.7 Press “Download Prj” button to download project to SF600Plus embedded memory
7.1.8 Download project successful
www.dediprog.com 48
7.2 Stand Alone programming
Start Stand Alone programming.
7.2.1 “Start from Programmer Button” mode

Press “Start” button for 2 seconds to run the project in Stand Alone mode.
7.2.2 “Start from COM Port” mode

The Com Port design is for integrating SF600/SF600Plus with customer’s system. All
programmer pin outs (except 5V and NC) are default with Low status. Once
customer/system sends a High signal to trigger START which needs hold for one
second and make the programmer working (i.e. BUSY becomes High status
accordingly), SF600/SF600Plus will also feedback PASS or FAIL result with High signal
after programming.
VIII. Firmware Support for Microsoft Windows

Consider the programming stability with the software and firmware on Windows 8.1.
DediProg modify the way of communication between Windows and SF serial products.
