NuProgPlus-U8 Universal Gang Programmer and Duplicator (8 Sites)

What is the NuProgPlus-U8 and what does it replace?

The NuProgPlus-U8 programs up to 8 chips at the same time and runs on its own. Load a project file, then work from the LCD and keypad with no PC on the line. The operator only presses Start, so nobody can pick the wrong image file or part number by mistake.

It is the manual-operation model of DediProg’s NuProgPlus series, built on a newly designed FPGA kernel. It programs EEPROM, flash, MCU, eMMC and UFS devices and duplicates eMMC and UFS parts from a master device. It replaced the ProgMaster-U8, C8 and S8, which DediProg moved to end of life in September 2024.

What are the key features and capabilities of the NuProgPlus-U8?

  • Up to 8 programming sockets, operated manually
  • Copy mode and Program mode
  • UFS, eMMC, SPI NOR, SPI NAND, parallel NOR and NAND, EEPROM, MCU, CPLD and FPGA
  • Built-in SSD for project files, with project download up to 100 MB/s
  • Three start modes: Manual, Auto Detection and Handler
  • A PC can link several NuProgPlus-U8 units and program on all of them at once

Duplication

  • UFS: data, LUN configuration, and descriptors, attributes and flags
  • eMMC: boot area, GPP, user area and ExtCSD
  • A master device is needed as the data source; RPMB is not duplicated

Production Features

  • NAND flash skip-bad-block management and partition files (CSV, DEF, MBN)
  • Project files lock the image and part number for each run
  • Packages including CSP, BGA, QFN, QFP, SOP, TSOP, SSOP, PLCC and DIP

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What devices does the DediProg NuProgPlus-U8 support for programming and duplication?

The NuProgPlus-U8 programs EEPROM, flash, MCU, eMMC, and UFS devices. It also supports SPI NOR, SPI NAND, parallel NOR and NAND, CPLD, and FPGAs. It can duplicate eMMC and UFS parts from a master device.

2 How does the NuProgPlus-U8 operate, and can it be used without a PC?

The NuProgPlus-U8 is a manual-operation model that can run on its own. After loading a project file, operators can use the LCD and keypad to start programming without a connected PC, simplifying the process and reducing potential errors.

3 Which previous DediProg models does the NuProgPlus-U8 replace?

The NuProgPlus-U8 is the current replacement for the DediProg ProgMaster-U8, C8, and S8 models. These previous models were moved to end of life by DediProg in September 2024.

4 Can the NuProgPlus-U8 be integrated into a larger production setup or scaled for higher volume?

Yes, the NuProgPlus-U8 supports three start modes including Manual, Auto Detection, and Handler mode, allowing for integration into various production workflows. Additionally, a PC can link and control several NuProgPlus-U8 units to program on all of them simultaneously for increased throughput.
