Hi there!

Is there any chance this chip going to be added to devices.txt?
I tried using 25Q64 and 25Q64CV but it didn't help. I can read and write it, but the source file's and the readed file's MD5 hash didn't match.

Datasheet: www.winbond.com.tw/NR/rdonlyres/591A37FF-007C-4E99-956C-F7EE4A6D9A8F/0/W25Q64BV.pdf

if you can write and verify the chip, then chip should be correctly written.

No, it's not. The source file's MD5 and after write readed information's MD5 don't match.
This chip has PDIP8 socket but according to 6.32 USBProg I must use ADP-081 or ADP-027....

Is there any difference between writing mode "Binary (.bin)" and "ROM (.rom)"?

The .bin is generic file type for the binary file. The .ROM is application specific binary file.

They can be same type of file too.

The problem has occured again. In this case i've been writing a MX25L1605 chip with the software verison 6.23. When i chose the chip, the program recommended an adapter type: ADP-081 but the chip's socket was PDIP8. I'm using the writer via USB without external power supply. Altough I wrote the same data every time, I read different data out. When i got tired of this, I connected the 12V external adapter to the writer, then I was able to read out the same data from the chip what I wrote into it so it looked like its working. Then I wrote another chip execately tha same type as the previous one with 12V external power supply connected and it wasn't working. Again, the data I wrote in and what I read out didnt match. At read out all the md5 print of the written datas were the same. I wrote and read about 6-7 times when the data finally matched.


Original data I wrote into chip:
www.filedropper.com/maximusiii-extreme-asus-1302" target="_blank">h p://www.filedropper.com/maximusiii-extreme-asus-1302

The data I wrote out about 12 times:
www.filedropper.com/kiolvasott1302" target="_blank">h p://www.filedropper.com/kiolvasott1302


What do I wrong?

Not sure why, but you can restart the software and reconnect the programmer and see if it makes different.

I can't get my Willem to work with this chip. I need to flash the bios, but I can't even get my programmer to read the device id. What is the correct pin orientation? I've searched google, the willem info on the cd, and this forum but all i ever see is people saying "check pin orientation" without ever saying what the orientation is supposed to be. I have version Version 98D12c4 and the hardware test under help detects my programmer.

I looked at the data sheet posted here, but that didn't help much. I aligned the chip to the bottom of the ZIF to line up the "GND" pin as depicted in the datasheet, and in one of the willem PDF's that lists the pin info of the ZIF socket. The problem is I don't know how to tell which pin is which since they are not labeled on the chip. When I do a chip read, the buffer shows all F's so I'm assuming the chip is installed incorrectly.

How do I figure out how each individual chip is supposed to be installed into the ZIF socket?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don't have the True USB, I have the willem parallel port programmer, v50b. Completely missed the USB one on the site when I bought it :\ oh well.

Is there any chance to create a new Device for Winbond 25Q64BVAIG? It's PDIP and here is its datasheet:

For the parallel Willem programmer software, all devices are pre-defind in the software. You have no way to add your own devices. Only True USB Willem GQ-4X has capability to add new devices by user.

Yes, I know. I meant to add this device to the GQ-4X device list. Is it possible?

The latest software should included this chip, if not, add following line into devices.txt:

Name="W25Q64CV",ID="EF4017",Class="W25X10",Category="SERIAL_EPROM",MFG="Winbond",Vcc="3.6V",CodeSize="8388608",Adapter="ADP-081, ADP-027 adapter",Platform="GQ-4X";

Does it matter, that the device I would like to write is W25Q64BVAIG with no adapter required as it has PDIP8 socket?

Hi, could you finally solve your problems with W25Q64 chip?? I have the same, I am using GQ-4X True USB universal Programmer and happens the same as you. I am going crazy, tired to read and write and get no match information.
I will really appreciate to know how you solved it.
Regards

Hi!

I wrote it with my old PCB5.0E, and everything went well.
Thank you ZLM for testing this chip! Please let us know your experiences!
