Note: Usually, new developers for NAND Flash should have a solution
how to program their devices with NAND Flash semiconductor
engineers and programmer vendor’s software development engineer.
How to READ NAND Flash
There is no global standard file system for NAND Flash programming for
programmer vendors yet. Hence, customer who understands how to program
NAND Flash is not hard to expect that READ (copy) a NAND Flash is very
difficult project unless the customer knows all information how to program the
master NAND Flash. EE Tools support most NAND device with specialized
file systems and simple algorithm with ‘skipping bad blocks’. Please contact
support.eetools.com for further assistance.
10. GLOSSARY
BGA Ball Grid Array. A surface-mount device with solder balls and a high pin
count, similar to PGA.
Bipolar PROM A fuse-link programmable PROM.
Blank Check A test performed by a device programmer to ascertain whether a device has
been programmed (partial or total) or is in a virgin state.
Buffer Data storage unit directly stored on CPU.
Checksum A number that results by adding up every element of a pattern. Typically
either a four or eight digit HEX number, it is a quick way to identify a
pattern, since it is very unlikely that two patterns will have the same
checksum.
Compare Reading a programmable device and displaying any discrepancies from the
desired pattern. Each error is displayed on the screen. This comparison is
slower to perform than verify on the programmer.
Device Microchip or Integrated Circuit chip.
Die The silicon chip that is located within an IC package. It is a small rectangular
flat piece of silicon that has been fabricated with many transistors to
perform a specific function. It is glued into a plastic or ceramic package and
