Algorithm code Flash programming algorithm code. This code runs in the target system and it
must support used Flash type and phone hw. The prommer box can contain
several algorithm codes; each code supports one or more different Flash
devices. E.g. u_intel.fia supports a number of Intel flash chips.
Application code Software which FPS-8 prommer box MCU runs.
Asic-Boot See Bootstrap code
Bootstrap code Code that resides in target hardware, usually in ASIC ROM or in MCU internal
ROM. Bootstrap code loads secondary bootstrap code into target RAM.
DCT3 Third generation Digital Core Technology.
DCT4 Fourth generation Digital Core Technology.

Secondary bootstrap Second bootstrap code, loads algorithm code into target RAM. Executed in
target hardware. E.g. u_2nd.fia
SRAM Random access memory, data is lost when power is lost. FPS-8
prommer box can have 64 MB of SRAM (See picture of FPS-8
