not sure why, need more testing.
If possible, please send a testing chip to support@mcumall.com, then we can find out why and fix it for you.

Try overwrite EPROM . Not all bits 1 in chip are converted to 0. Erase not required.
Measure voltage on EPROM pins 1 (Vpp) and 32 (Vcc) during programming.
Reduced voltage on mentioned pins cause programming failure.
Apply external power supply.
Another attempt, modify line in devices.txt
Name="TMS27C020",ID="9732",Class="27C020",Category="EPROM",MFG="TI",WVCC="6.5V";
Come back with results.





Where is this option in the 5.0 software to overrite?

Also adding that line yields the same results

I am also having problems with verification of TMS 27C020-15 EEPROMs using my GQ-4X. Two reported verification errors but seem to work fine. I've tried to program two others and both give errors during verification. I haven't tested them to see if they work, but so far all four I've tried give errors during verification. I have hooked up my GQ-4X to an external power supply and I still get errors during verification.

No ideas or replies? I'm willing to ship a chip for testing purposes. I'd like to see this figured out.

Any update on this? I mailed the chip on Nov. 12 and sent a detailed note along with my email address. I've heard nothing. I don't care about getting the chip back, I'd just like to know if anyone has looked at this issue and if there will be a possible software update to fix it.

Found the problem.

The device is required the VPP pin stay in Hi when doing read/verification. So, the device line needs one parameter: RVPP="5V"

Use following line in devices.txt instead the old line:

Name="TMS27C020",ID="9732",Class="27C020",Category="EPROM",MFG="TI",RVpp="5V";
