Youmile USB Programmer Series Burner Chip 24 EEPROM BIOS Writer 25 SPI Flash + Sop8 Test Clip

Product Information

I have no clue if by switching something on the board will copy\delete or damage the content of B_BIOS If your system has lower capacity SPI flash, you can upgrade. On most systems, SPI flash is memory mapped and the maximum (in practise) that you can use is a 16MiB chip. For example, KGPE-D16 and KCMA-D8 mainboards in libreboot have 2MiB flash by default, but you can easily upgrade these. Another example is the ThinkPad X200S, X200 Tablet and T400S, all of which have WSON8 where the best course of action is to replace it with a SOIC8 flash chip. EDIT2: at the end I tried to mount the 1.8v adapter and it worked, the BIOS was flashed and verified correctly! If you are trying to flash your board with an SPI, there’s a good chance you already know the basics of Linux. Even if you don’t, though, I’ll still go over it.

Similarly, the SPI flash chip has a minimum voltage it will accept as a high logic value. This is commonly 0.7*VCC for SPI flash, which is 2.31V for 3.3V chips. If the drive strength is too low, the voltage at the pins of the flash chip may fall below this minimum voltage, causing it to register as a low logic value instead of the high value that was sent. La soluzione e' quella di sollevare il pin di alimentazione del CH341A (pin 28) e saldare un filo da questo pin al condensatore C4 (sul lato collegato al pin 9 del CH341A) e poi da qui, all'output del regolatore da 3.3v (pin 2). Quindi il cavo fara' questo percorso: Pin28 CH341 -> Pin9 CH341A (C4) -> Pin2 LM1117 (Regolatore 3.3v). Volendo, invece di sollevare il pin del chip, e' possibile tagliare la pista di alimentazione sulla PCB e saldare un filo dal pin 28 all'output del regolatore da 3.3v. Please do not buy the ch341a! It is incorrectly engineered for the purpose of ROM flashing on systems with 3.3v SPI (which is most coreboot systems). DO NOT USE IT! This issue still isn’t fixed by the manufacturer, and it doesn’t look like they will ever fix it. CH341EVT.ZIP - some source code and tools written to be used with an evaluation board (may be useful for programming software that can access this device) Ch341a is a Mini USB Programmer, which helps to flash the firmware in the flash IC. There are lots of different types and different series of flash IC available in the market. but this low cast Ch341a USB mini programmer is designed to support 24 Eeprom and 25 SPI flash 8 pins and 16 pins SPI flash. It has installed the ch341a chip, which can recognize the EEPROM 24 and SPI flash with an indicator Green light to show that modules are working. The ch341a programmer is very User friendly and it is also Supported the USB to TTL Conversation. Ch341a Programmer Software For Android.Hi, reading chinese datasheet for CH341 and at end of chapter 5.2 硬件说明 (Hardware description) is stated: By reading the datasheet, we can see that the manufacturer recommended to connect a 0.47 uF capacitor between RSTI (pin 2) and VCC for improved stability. There is none on this board. If the software announces that the programmer is connected, then press the Read button. Normally the buffer should fill on the interface and the solid lines of FF should be replaced in large part by codes in hexadecimal. If all the lines only have FF codes, then it means that the software could not read the Bios properly. It is unlikely that the chip is completely empty. Why didn’t it work ? because the programmer must be able to send enough energy in at least half of the motherboard to actually read the Bios. It will easily read the Bios in small motherboards, such as tablet, laptop, micro ATX. On the other hand in motherboards of desktop, it will have to power this last one. If the software could not read correctly the Bios, then disconnect the clamp. Reconnect the PC power supply to the motherboard (with both pins), reconnect the power supply to the mains. Reconnect the clamp. Press the Read button. This time the software should read the chip correctly. That’s what worked for me with a motherboard MSI Z77A-G43. If this is still not the case, refer to the help at the end of this article. Since the Windows tool has severe issues with some chips and doesn’t have an auto-verification system, your best bet is to do the flash from a Linux computer. If you don’t have one, you can use the instructions in the following paragraphs to set up a Live USB with Linux (a Live USB is one which contains an OS you can boot from and use as a normal computer). If you do have a Linux system already, you can skip to the next part of the guide.

CH341PAR.EXE– self installing archive with multiprotocol interface driver ( this one is for the programmer mode) Next, run this command (RPi): sudo ./flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0,spispeed=32768 -w /path/to/libreboot.rom The CH341A is a USB-based IC for interfacing with SPI devices. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to install the CH341A drivers and use the CH341A programmer to flash an SPI BIOS chip. Note that the device works as a programmer only if ACT# pin is connected to ground via a resistor. That's why you should put a jumper across pins 1 and 2 of the UART connector. Otherwise the device will be recognized as a standard USB to serial converter. Drivers and toolsWhile blasting the chip with hot air, hold the chip with tweezers but do not use any real force. Do not try to forcefully pry off the chip. Simply hold the chip with your tweezers, gently nudging it until it feels like the chip can move freely. While in this state, the solder is fully melted and the chip can be lifted off with ease.
