- Manage a steady 5V or adjustable VCC (1.8 V-3.6 V) power supply.
- Operate the adapter’s power supply using software controls.
- Retrieve data from partially damaged, formatted, or erased SD and MicroSD cards, functioning effectively as a Card Adapter.
How to Recover Data from Monolithic Devices?
The process of recovering data from monolithic devices in our company starts with creating a memory dump. We use a tool called PC3000-Flash, which gives us direct access to the device’s NAND chips.
This is done through the PC3000 Spider Board adapter. This adapter doesn’t require soldering and uses 25 movable needles to connect to the NAND Flash chip easily.
If NAND Flash chips are stored for a long time without power, there’s a higher chance of electrical charges moving between the memory cells. This problem can also occur when we remove the chip’s protective shield with a soldering station, which is necessary to protect it from electromagnetic pulses.
This movement of charges can lead to errors in the data bits, and how often these errors occur depends mostly on the type of flash memory and its design.
Using the PC-3000 Package for Dump Analysis
We use the PC-3000 package for analyzing data dumps. This involves using a data extractor program from the PC3000-Flash suite to find partition offsets, detect file system types, and identify any encryption or compression.
Further analysis of the dumps is done using the Binwalk firmware analysis tool and our custom software. We also use the widely popular 7-Zip archiver, which can efficiently extract data from various file systems and compiled libraries.
This approach eliminates the need for specialized unpackers for each file format, which saves a significant amount of time for both our clients and engineers. After analyzing the dumps, our technicians perform the necessary modifications to the data.
Conclusion
The Spider Board Adapter is a powerful tool that makes data recovery from monolithic devices simple and efficient. It doesn’t require soldering, saving time and reducing risks. With movable needle contacts and software controls, it’s easy to use for both beginners and professionals.
It works with microscopes and can recover data from damaged or erased SD cards. A clever and dependable answer to data recovery problems is the Spider Board Adapter.
