Experience with PC Keyboard controller programmer - IT80x, ENE, etc.

[ZixuTech]

Start getting windows based machines with blown SuperIO/KBD controller ICs. Seems like IT80 serries cant be programmed with CH341. Although there is some info for KB90xx controller here - http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/...ith_Bus_Pirate Doesnt look like NeoProgrammer supports IT8xx series

What do you guys use?

I was looking at these options:

• RT809F with ITE SMBUS adapter - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008719739481.html

Can't justify the cost for these though, as most IC's just need to be erased and BIOS takes care of the flashing

• XZZ IT8390 Programmer iT85XX iT83XX Chip Read Write Burning Tool - https://www.diyfixtool.com/products/...e-burning-tool
• vetyanov Successor50 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/335760041789
• Svod, which seems more pricey than Vetyanovs

RT8209F is good to program ENE chips but troubles with ITE series. So not a good choice.

SVOD is the best in series though vertyanov is also very good.

If you dont require EC programming on frequent basis, then go for pre-programmed chips.

Thanks, Im mainly relying on pulled ics from spare/scrap boards. I assume i dont have other way to just erase them and let bios reflash them at startup. Not even sure if thats consistent across most recetn < 3yo models

What setup did you use RT8209 under? What issues do you experience?
