NeoProgrammer
NeoProgrammer is a Windows-based software tool used primarily for programming EEPROM, SPI Flash, and other ICs using various USB programmers, including CH341A, TL866, and others. It offers a simple interface for reading, writing, verifying, and erasing ICs used in electronics, BIOS repair, and console modding.
Overview
NeoProgrammer is popular in the hardware repair and electronics community due to its support for a wide range of ICs, frequent updates, and compatibility with affordable programmers. It is often used as an alternative to software like AsProgrammer, especially for CH341A-based devices.
Features
- Supports CH341A, TL866, RT809H, and other USB programmers
- Read, write, verify, and erase EEPROM and Flash ICs
- Supports hex and binary formats
- Auto-detection of some ICs
- Memory buffer editor with hex viewer
- Simple user interface with real-time status updates
Supported Devices
NeoProgrammer supports a wide range of chips, including but not limited to:
- 24-series EEPROMs (e.g. 24C02, 24C512)
- 25-series SPI Flash (e.g. 25Q64, 25Q128)
- 93-series EEPROMs
- BIOS chips (Winbond, Macronix, SST, etc.)
- Some NAND Flash devices (limited)
Download Links
⚠ Warning: Always verify files from trusted sources. Do not download from unknown sites due to risk of malware.
Installation
- Download the latest release from GitHub or trusted forums.
- Extract the ZIP file.
- Run `NeoProgrammer.exe` (no installation required).
- Connect your programmer and insert the chip as per the socket diagram.
- Select the chip type and begin read/write operations.
Common Issues
Software Does Not Detect Chip
- Make sure the chip is inserted correctly (check orientation).
- Double-check selected chip type from dropdown.
- Try a lower read speed for stubborn chips.
- Update CH341A drivers (available on GitHub).
Write Fails
- Chip might be locked (WP pin grounded).
- Chip may need to be erased first.
- Try using another power source if the chip is power-hungry.
Application Crashes or Freezes
- Try running as Administrator.
- Ensure your antivirus is not blocking the program.
- Some versions of Windows Defender falsely flag the software.
