[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-8 In this embodiment: a two-in-one plug-in universal adapter board card opener includes a card opener body 1, one end of the card opener body 1 is provided with an interface end 2, the interior of the card opener body 1 is provided with an adapter board body 3, the interior of the adapter board body 3 is provided with an operating system 4, one side of the operating system 4 is provided with an SSD module 5, one side of the SSD module 5 is provided with an FTL module 6, one side of the FTL module 6 is provided with a NAND interface 7, one side of the NAND interface 7 is provided with a flash memory module 8, and the surface of the card opener body 1 is provided with a switching power supply 9.

[0026] In this embodiment, the interface end 2 is fixedly installed with the card opener body 1, and the adapter board body 3 is fixedly installed inside the card opener body 1, so the interface end 2 is fixedly connected with the adapter board body 3; the operating system 4 includes a file system 401 and a bottom-level driver 402, and the bottom-level driver 402 drives the file system 401 to run and process data and commands; the SSD module 5 includes an SSD interface 501, the SSD interface 501 is fixedly installed with the SSD module 5, and the SSD module 5 is fixedly installed with the adapter board body 3; the FTL module 6 includes a bad block management module 601, a garbage collection module 602, an address conversion module 603 and a wear leveling module 604, and the FTL module 6 is fixedly installed between the SSD module 5 and the NAND interface 7, and the bad block management module 601, the garbage collection module 602, the address conversion module 603 and the wear leveling module 604 are fixedly installed inside the FTL module 6; the flash memory module 8 is provided with four groups, and the flash memory module 8 is fixedly installed with the adapter board body 3; the adapter board body 3 is connected with the SSD module 5 and the computer.

[0027] The working principle and use process of the present invention: the operator inserts the adapter board and connects it to the computer. After decompression, run "UTHSB_MPtool_Lite.exe" and confirm the version number, select the configure corresponding to the box, click "update Device" in the upper left corner, wait for the progress bar to turn green at 100%, and it will be successful if it shows pass. The whole process can complete the adapter board burning in about 1 minute. First connect the M.2NVMe / SATA SSD and the adapter card that has passed the burning, insert the computer to select the corresponding software and issue instructions. After receiving the command, the card opening tool will send a command to let the main control read the NAND ID of the particle. After reading the NAND ID, the card opening tool will compare the read NAND ID with all NANDIDs in the database of the card opening tool, and infer the particle number, capacity, number of channels, flash memory type and other information for user setting. Starting from the host PC, the user sends a request to the SSD from the operating system application layer. The file system converts the read and write requests into corresponding read and write and other commands that comply with the protocol through the driver. The SSD receives the command, performs the corresponding operation, and then outputs the result. The input and output of each command are standardized by the protocol standard organization. This is a standard thing, which is no different from the HDD, except that the HDD is replaced by the SSD hardware to store data, and the object of access becomes the SSD. The input of the SSD is the command, and the output is the data and command status. The SSD front end receives the user's command request, and after internal calculation and processing logic, it outputs the data or status required by the user. After the user sets the basic information of the SSD, the final card opening operation will be officially carried out. The card opening software will generate a customized firmware specifically for the SSD to be opened based on the basic information of the SSD, NAND ID, cache chip, etc. set by the user, and write the firmware to the ROM of the main control, and at the same time, the firmware will be verified and tested. If everything goes well when loading the firmware, an SSD is successfully opened and burned.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
