Model name : BBF-D8W

The Dual SO8W Backup Boot Flash is an ingenious tool that forces the application controller to work automatically on the two backup SPI Flash inserted in the SO8W sockets of the BBF tools and not on the two Main Serial Flash soldered on board. When connected the BBF tool will automatically disable the two Main Serial Flash devices. The devices don’t need to be unsoldered.

The BBF Dual SO8W tool allows working on two Backup Serial Flash providing that they are controlled by the same SPI bus and two different Chip select in the application board.

The BBF tool can be connected to the application with:

• BBF cable (included) to the application 2X5 2.54mm pin header
• 2.54mm to 1.27mm cable adaptor-Dual Header( to be purchased separately) to our SMT 1.27mm Pin Headers (to be purchased separately) soldered in place of the Two Main Serial flash footprint for a better stability.
• Dual SO8 Test Clip (to be purchased separately) with one SO8 Test Clip to be connected on the First Serial flash package soldered on board  and two individual test clips to be connected on the Chip select and Hold pin of the second serial Flash soldered on board (no need of connectors).

The two memories can be easily changed manually thanks to the two SO8W sockets or even updated by connecting our SF100 programmer that can update both SPI Flash independently. The SF100 programmer is completely transparent for the application and will offer to developer high flexibility for code trials or update. The BBF tool is frequently used to boot failing computers and use the Flash Utility tools to update the corrupted Bios memories.
