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.

CH341A black CH341A green

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

CH341A EEPROM programmer

How to use:

Connecting

Insert the chip into the appropriate slot of the CH341a programmer. The 24xxx and 25xxx series chips must be inserted directly, according to the markings on the PCB of the CH341a programmer. The 93xxx series chips must be inserted into the 93xxx adapter and the adapter into the marking 25xxx programmer slot.

Adapter

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.

Adapter

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 Detect 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 or or <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.

SFDP

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 undo, Redo redo, and the Search search/replace. The <Ctrl+A> key used to update the CRC24 checksum.
