24/07/2023 by Hasan Dullaj
We've got some exciting news to share with you. We are thrilled to introduce the latest edition of our software tool for storage devices: The Swissbit Device Manager (SBDM). This powerful management tool is designed to make your life easier when it comes to monitoring and controlling your Swissbit storage solutions. Let's dive into the details!
SBDM is a game-changer for Swissbit customers, especially those in the design-in stages. It offers complete flexibility for extensive testing and customization, empowering you to optimize our storage solutions to meet your specific needs. With its user-friendly app, SBDM becomes your go-to interface for all Swissbit storage products, providing you with comprehensive insights and control.
One of the most exciting features of the latest SBDM version is the ability to initiate firmware updates. No more waiting for manufacturers to roll out updates – now you can easily install and test product-specific firmware adjustments yourself. This feature is particularly handy during the design-in stage, allowing you to collaborate more effectively with our FAE team and make necessary updates on the fly.
But that's not all! SBDM is the next evolution of our successful Swissbit Lifetime Monitoring Tool, with expanded features and enhanced ease of use. It encompasses all the benefits of a complete monitoring and system tool, including standard S.M.A.R.T. parameters (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) and the utilization of individual flash blocks. With SBDM, important telemetry data, general device information such as the serial number and firmware version, and utilization statistics like NAND flash erase cycles and ECC/CRC counters are all visually represented. Moreover, SBDM records the history of these values for each memory device, offering valuable insights for analysis and troubleshooting.
Worried about compatibility? No need to be! SBDM supports a wide range of Swissbit product lines, including CompactFlash, SSD SATA, CFast, CFexpress, USB, SD, microSD, e.MMC, and NVMe. Regardless of which Swissbit storage solution you're using, SBDM has got you covered.
We understand that some of you may want to integrate SBDM features into your own tools or software programs. That's why we're excited to offer the Swissbit Device Manager Library/API as a free download. This allows you to customize and enhance your existing applications with SBDM's powerful functionalities, providing you with even greater control and flexibility.
