What is exact part number?
It may be a SOIC8 chip, but need to make sure it is 150mil OR 200mil body width. |

i guess it is the one, not sure, all i can give you is dimensions, i have measured the chip and it's 5mm long, 4mm wide
i have just ordered this adaptor from you on ebay: SOIC8 150mil SOP8 Adaptor Willem & Generic Programmer
is that the right one?
it takes two weeks to receive the goods so can you please advice me if i should buy more useful/necessary adaptors and tools, like the rework station...
thanks

Thank you so much for your help;
is that testing clip to read/programm the chip without removing the chip from the board?
if so i will be interested because i would rather not remove chips.
and yes you are right, the chip pins are damaged, good idea to solder extension wires, but what kind of wires, any? like the ones i find in the car wiring loom??
thanks again |

That is depending on your circuit design. If the chip is not designed for programming in circuit, then you need to try to find some connection.
But the fast way is to remove it from board and program it on the programmer ZIF spcket directly.
The wire can be any wires, as long as you can solder it. |

Hi, ok forget this chip, its damaged...
i am using another radio, i dessoldered the chip and again damaged the board
but thats ok, i am trying to learn and obviously i will lose money and time before i can learn everything!
this chip i have removed is the same chip shape size...but different reference number, this one is 25160 ATMEL, i have used the adapter you suggested ADP-004, so here are my questions:
when i click on ID, it says "function not supported on this device"
when i click on blank check before erasing it says:Blank checking... Code
Elapsed time: 0.33 seconds.
Chip is blank
does this mean this chip is empty ???
also, if i want to read, where do i see the dump/results ?
Thanks |

Hi, i have connected the tool to the chip and adapter to the programmer..
when i select the device, i click on read, it says read completed..
when i select blank check, it says : Device blank check failed at address: 00x000000, read= 0x11.
what does this mean?
also, when i read the chip, where does the info go, where can i view it?
Also, when i click on ID, it says "function not supported on this device"

What is your chip on board?
Which part number you selected in software?
If it is "95160", then it has no ID on this chip.
The "Device blank check failed " means the chip is not a blank chip, there are some data in the chip.
Try to power up the board and do not connect pin 8 Vcc pin. All other pins are pin to pin connect to programmer socket. |

Hi, it seems i'm doing something right then!
the chip on board is Atmel 902, 25160N
on software, i have selected, atmel, AT25160
ID check not supported it says,
Ok, so thats what "blank check failed" means, it means the chip is not blank, thats right it would not be blank, it is still fitted on the radio and hasnt been erased.
i'm just trying to read it and post the dump on a website where i can get the radio code....
on the software interface, i can see what is read, but when i save the file to my desktop, i cant open it afterwards, so my question is, which software should i use to open the file from the desktop ??
To be honest though, the other adapter i bought, not sure what its for?? |

You can save data as .bin file. It should be able to open it by same software.
However, it is not knowing if you read data is 100% correct. You need to find a way to test the data. The only way to test data is: write the data into another balnk chip and then test that chip see if it works.
What is your another adapter part number? |

hi, the other adapter is the second one you recommended, this one:
ADP-056 JTAG/SPI in circuit programming adapter
but i cant see how i can use it with this chip, but i am hoping i can use it with other chips, do you know which ones?
Also, another question please about the same chip:
once i erase it, and i do a blank check, it is showing: "chip blank", but how do i re-write the file into it?
Thanks |

| Once the chip is blank, then you can load your data file and click on Write button to wrtie the data into chip. |
