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.

Bipolar PROM | A |

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 | |
