4.2 UTILITY DISKETTE
To support the AR-B1474 solid state disk’ s operations, the following programs or files has been provided on the
accompanying utility diskette:
(1) PGM1474.EXE
PGM1474.EXE PGM1474.EXE is used to program the 12V FLASH EPROM after the ROM pattern files are
generated by RFG.EXE The PGM1474.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 PGM1474.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 PGM1474 temporarily to the DOS prompt. Type EXIT to return to PGM1474 main menu.
Load ROM File
If this option is used, the PGM1474 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 PGM1474 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 PGM1474 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 PGM1474 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 PGM1474 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, PGM1474.EXE will retry more
times to program data onto the 12V FLASHs correctly.
The default setting is <Slowest> mode.
