SEGGER has announced the Flasher Hub-4. With Flasher Compact devices, it forms a space-efficient, cost-effective solution for high-speed, high-volume production programming.
Targets are programmed in parallel, with each target receiving its own image. All images and all targets can be identical or different. Traditional gang programming is easily achieved by sending the same image to all devices. Flasher Hub can do it all.
Four Flasher Compact units can be connected directly to the Hub-4, and up to 24 can be connected and controlled using SEGGER USB hubs.
The device is a compact version of the Flasher Hub-12: It is only 125mm (w) x 78mm (l) x 25mm (h).
"The Flasher Hub-4 is an incredibly space-efficient option," says Dirk Akemann, marketing manager at SEGGER. "It is just a little bigger than a standard deck of cards, making it the most compact and efficient control unit on the market today!"
As a comprehensive management and control system, the device ensures the efficient operation of connected Flasher Compacts. Users can monitor and control the Hub through various interfaces, including handshake lines, RS232, USB, or integrated Telnet, web, and FTP servers. Also, individual programming tasks can be customised with unique serial numbers, patches, and licenses for seamless integration into production environments.
All the company's in-circuit flash programmers are developed to attain top programming speeds, coming very close to the theoretical minimum programming time of the target hardware. The included Flasher software package runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. This future-proof programming solution provides free software and firmware updates with new features and flashloaders for target devices at no extra cost.
