Re: CH341a SPI / I²C programmer
@rycy
This official remark from ASUS (here) to ensure you update BIOS two times (using the exact same BIOS version) manually is odd, leading me to speculate that CMOS holds garbage data and therefore either a manual CMOS data clear or a second BIOS update ought to be done.
Anyhow, download the latest BIOS version from the ASUS site here;
Remove the first 0x800 bytes from the Z170-P-D3-ASUS-2604.CAP file and save it as 2604.bin;
Launch CH341A programmer soft:

Launch CH341A programmer soft:
erase the chip; blank check;
load the 2604.bin file;
program the chip, and finally, verify it.
If the above goes well insert the chip into the motherboard and make sure you perform a CMOS data clear upon first system power on.
