IMSProg
IMSProg - Linux IMSProg - I2C, MicroWire and SPI EEPROM/Flash chip programmer for CH341a devices. The IMSProm is a free I2C EEPROM programmer tool for CH341A device based on QhexEdit2 and modify SNANDer programmer.
This is a GUI program used widget QhexEditor. For setting the SPI chip parameters you can use the Detect button for reading chip parameters (JEDEC information reading) or manually setting it. The I2C and MicroWire EEPROM only manually selected.
The chip database format is clone with EZP2019, EZP2020, EZP2023, Minpro I, XP866+ programmers. You can edit the database use the EZP Chip data Editor
How to use:
Connecting
- Insert the chip into the appropriate slot of the CH341a programmer. The
24xxx
and25xxx
series chips must be inserted directly, according to the markings on the PCB of the CH341a programmer. The93xxx
series chips must be inserted into the93xxx adapter
and the adapter into the marking25xxx
programmer slot.
- If the chip supply voltage is 1.8 volt he must be insreted in
1.8 volt adapter
and the adapter into needed programmer slot.
- Plug the CH341a programmer into the USB socket your computer and running the
IMSProg
. - You can plug and unplug the programmer device (CH341a) to the USB port at any time when basic operations (reading, checking, and programming) are not in progress.
Chip type selecting
Select the type of chip used from the Type
pop-up menu: SPI FLASH
when using SPI NOR FLASH chips of the 25xxx
series, 24_EEPROM
when using i2c EEPROM of the 24xxx
series, 93_EEPROM
when using MicroWire EEPROM of the 93xxx
series.
When using 25xxx
series SPI NOR FLASH chips, the Detect button will be available. When the Detect button or or
<Ctrl+D>
is pressed, the JEDEC information is read from the chip and all parameters of that chip are loaded from the chip database. Any parameter (size
, page size
, block size
, VCC voltage
, and 4-bit address length
) can be changed manually. You can manually enter the Manufacture
and Name
pop-up menu data - all other parameters will be automatically loaded from the chip database.
When using 24xxx
or 93xxx
series chips, it is necessary to manually enter the Manufacture
and Name
pop-up menu data - all other parameters will be automatically loaded from the chip database.
Basic programmer operations
-
Pressing
Read
oror
<Ctrl+R>
to read data from the chip into the computer buffer. -
Pressing
or
<Ctrl+W>
to write data from the computer buffer into the chip. -
Pressing
or
<Ctrl+E>
will erase all data in the chip. -
Pressing the
or
<Ctrl+T>
button causes the data in the chip and in the computer buffer to be compared.
The progress bar shows the progress of the read, erase, and verify operations.
-
The Auto button is used to perform erase, write and verify operations in sequence. If one of these operations is not needed, you can uncheck the checkbox for that operation.
-
The
or
<Ctrl+I>
key is used to force interruption of chip read/write/erase/verify operations. -
The
i
key show the connection chip to CH341a device image form. -
The
Main menu -> Programmer -> Chip info
or<Ctrl+P>
item shows the Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) register and the status registers of the SPI NOR flash memory chips.
If the SPI NOR FLASH chip is detected normally, but is not read (gives the message Error reading sector 0
), then in the Chip info
window you can change bits BP4
and BP3
to zero and press the Write registers button. Then repeat the chip reading operation.
File operations
-
The
or
<Ctrl+S>
button is used to save the computer buffer to a file. -
The
or
<Ctrl+O>
button is used to save the file in the computer buffer. -
The
or
<Ctrl+Shift-S>
button is used to save a part of the computer buffer to a file (the start address and length of the part must be entered). This operation can be used when splitting a binary data image into parts. -
The
or
<Ctrl+Shift-S>
button is used to load a small file to a certain address in the buffer. The data fragment in the buffer will be replaced with new data from the file. -
The
or
<Ctrl+Q>
button is used to invoke the chip database editor. -
The menu item `File / Import from Intel HEX` used to save the Intel HEX file in the computer buffer.
-
The menu item `File / Export to Intel HEX` is used to save the computer buffer to a file in Intex HEX format.
Buffer (Hex editor) operations
The hexadecimal chip editor (right side of the screen) is used to display and modify buffer data.
It contains the following controls: undo,
redo, and the
search/replace. The
<Ctrl+A>
key used to update the CRC24 checksum.
