5.2.2 SSD Utility
To support the AR-B1375/AR-B1376 solid-state disk’s operations, the following files have been provided on the
enclosed diskette’s directory <SSD>.
(A) PGM137x.EXE
PGM137x.EXE PGM137x.EXE is used to program the 12V FLASH EPROM after the ROM pattern files are
generated by RFG.EXE. The PGM137x.EXE can also program the correctness of the ROM
pattern files onto 5V FLASH EPROM (start from MEM1) or SRAM for testing the ROM pattern
files.
To execute PGM137x.EXE, the main menu will be displayed on your screen. There are 8 options on the main
menu.
Quit to DOS
Quits and exits to the DOS.
OS Shell
Exits from PGM137x temporarily to the DOS prompt. Type EXIT to return to PGM137x main menu.
Load ROM File
If this option is used, the PGM137x will prompt you for the ROM pattern file name. This option is useful if
you have not previously entered a ROM pattern file name or if you wish to use a different ROM pattern file.
The PGM137x will check and display the ROM file name, ROM file size, (FLASH) memory capacity and the
number of ROM pattern files that will be loaded and copied onto the (FLASH) memory chips.
Verify Memory
If ROM pattern files were loaded without error, this option instructs PGM137x to verify the contents of
(FLASH) memory chips with the current ROM pattern files.
Program Memory
If there are no mistakes in your ROM pattern file, then this menu option will erase (FLASH) memory, write
the current ROM pattern files onto (FLASH) memory and verify data that was just written to (FLASH)
memory, using the ROM pattern files.
Memory Type/Mfr.
Before you program the (FLASH) memory chips, make sure that the FLASH’s type and manufactory match
the one shown on the main menu. Otherwise, you can use this option to select the proper type and
manufacture and instruct the program to use a right programming algorithm.
Select PGM Chips
Normally the PGM137x will program all ROM pattern files onto the FLASH memories with the ROM pattern
files just loaded. But you can use this option to select which memory chips that you want to program and
which memory chips need to be skipped. The PGM137x will only program the selected chips when writing
data to the FLASH memory. This is very useful when some of the memory chip were verified and
programmed previously.
Select FLASH PLSCNTs
If the 12V FLASHs have been programmed several times, please select the <Slowest> FLASH PLSCNT
mode instead of <Standard> mode. In the <Slower> or <Slowest> mode, PGM137x.EXE will retry more
times to program data onto the 12V FLASHs correctly. The default setting is <Slowest> mode.
(B) WD137x.EXE
WD137x.EXE This program demonstrates how to enable and trigger the watchdog timer. It allows you to
test the <TIMES-OUT & RESET> function when the watchdog timer is enabled.
