4. Impostazione

4.1. Contenuto della confezione

• Programmer Host (1 unit)
• Cavo USB (1 unità)
• Quick Operation Guide (1 unit)
• Power Adapter (1 unit - Included only with SP328/SP328P for offline burning. SP325 does not include a power adapter as it lacks offline burning functionality.)

Note: Burning seats (adapters) are optional accessories and must be purchased separately based on the specific chip package you intend to program.

4.2. Installazione del software

1. Download the latest SP32 series programmer software from the official websito: SFLY Software Download Page
2. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. The software supports Windows XP, VISTA, Win7, Win8, and Win10 (32-bit/64-bit).

4.3. Connessione hardware

1. Connect the programmer to your computer using the provided USB 2.0 cable. The USB 2.0 interface provides high-speed data transfer (480Mbps).
2. For SP328/SP328P models, if performing offline burning, connect the DC5V/1.5A power adapter to the programmer and a power outlet.
3. Ensure the correct adapter module (burning seat) is selected and securely inserted into the programmer's dedicated interface for the chip package you are using.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1. Online Programming (USB Connected)

1. Launch the SFLY programmer software on your computer.
2. Select the appropriate chip model from the software's device list.
3. Load your engineering data file (e.g., .bin, .hex).
4. Configure burning settings, including IO mode (Standard, DUAL, QUAD for SPI FLASH) and clock frequency, as needed.
5. Insert the target chip into the adapter module. The programmer will perform a pin contact check.
6. Initiate the programming process (Erase, Program, Verify) through the software.
7. The software supports project file management, allowing you to save all burning parameters for future use. Project files can be locked or set to read-only to prevent accidental modification.
8. For automatic serial number generation, configure the auto-increment or file mode within the software.

5.2. Offline Programming (SP328/SP328P Only)

Offline programming allows the device to operate independently of a computer.

1. Prepare Project File: Create and save your project file (including chip model, data, and settings) using the PC software. Transfer this file to a U disk.
2. Carica progetto File: Insert the U disk into the programmer's U disk interface. Use the navigation keyboard and LCD screen to select and load the desired project file into the programmer's internal memory.
3. Accensione: Ensure the power adapter is connected.
4. Insert Chip: Place the target chip into the adapter module. The programmer will detect the chip.
5. Inizia la programmazione:
   • Chip Insertion Start: The programmer can automatically detect chip insertion/removal and initiate the burning process without manual button presses.
   • Button Start: Press the dedicated START button on the programmer to begin the burning cycle for each chip.
6. Indicatori di stato: Monitor the BSY (Busy), OK (Success), and FAIL (Failure) LEDs on the programmer for real-time status.
7. For SP328P, offline automatic serial number generation can be configured via the device's menu.

5.3. Intelligent Erase Function

The programmer features intelligent erase technology to optimize programming time:

• If the chip is completely empty, the erase operation is automatically skipped.
• If only certain areas of the chip contain data, only those areas are erased.
• This significantly reduces programming time compared to conventional full-chip erasing.

5.4. ATE Control Interface (SP328/SP328P Only)

The ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) control interface allows integration with automatic burning machines or manipulators. It provides precise control signals (START, BUSY, OK, NG) for automated production lines, ensuring stable and efficient operation.

6. Manutenzione
