Hello,

I am considering buying GQ-4X burner, for a CPLD project, where I am thinking to use a 'IS39LV010-70VCE' memory (1Mb, 128k x 8) . It comes in
32-TFSOP and 32-PLCC packages.

First a couple of general questions..
1a) Can I safely burn these chips first and then solder them later, without any risk of data loss/corruption? It would be a pain to desolder a chip, due to these issues.
1b) I imagine the SW, that comes with this programmer, allows a reliable verification of written data?

2) Considering my mentioned requirement, is the cost (~$125 + ~$20 for adapter) reasonable, or I am better off with an alternative programmer?

Now a specific one..
3) Does the accompanying SW allows to import a text file, e.g. a memory initializing file (with Hex, Binary data) to be written to the memory? If not, does the SW at-least allow to save a manually entered data, in case of multiple burns?

Many thanks :-) !

Actually an accompanying question..

Are there programmers, which would do 'in circuit programming' to eliminate the risk of data loss, post soldering?

Even if available, how would one do such programming, considering this is a Parallel flash and has 32 pins...? By creating an extra 32 pin header on the pcb ?
