ITE programmer

[jasko_jacker]

I noticed That many motherboard manufacturers use of the ITE chip.
These chips must be programmed, currently I have found only two programmers, SVOD and rt809f or h, but seems that only a few models are supported (it8585e, it8580, etc) . In the future , will be used other chips.
Those programmers are very expensive and I have not idea if in the future other chips will be added. for example I posted in some forum and on svod technical support, an information request about it8585vg and how programm it , without any reply. We must renounce to repair a lot of new asus laptops , or there is a programmer (regardless of the cost of the programmer) that can do it ?

Re: ITE programmer

Hi, I am just in the process of understanding the (design) logic of these publicly undocumented "EC" ICs. Empirically I should say (aka fixing Asus MB)...

My understanding (please someone correct me if I am wrong) is that not all of them contain flash memory for firmware. But some rely on a small part of the SPI Flash memory chip containing BIOS. In these cases the EC, itself, should not require programming.

I am trying to understand if SVOD and alike can be used to program the SPI Flash chip through the ITE EC.

The attached asus repair guide highlights this architecture...

Ah.. life is so simple with a PDF spec sheet!

Re: ITE programmer

Can't remember where I found this repair guide... may well be on THIS site!

It's hard to believe no one (myself included) can find specifications on these widely used ITE chips (IT89xx, IT85xx...). I understand these are pretty usage-specific (limited number of HW designers). But we are far from bleeding edge chip design..

Another reason to waste time on ebay, looking for SEM used equipment.

Cheers!

from where you buy it?

Re: ITE programmer

They sell on eBay.

@gcomputers : Cool, but do you know what it actually does? Does it only program the EC / KBC chip directly or it goes further on using the chip to program the SPI flash?

Re: ITE programmer

vertyanov software is nice , but its seriously have many issues with ITE programing , meanwhile still able to programming , but always have to fight with it , but ENE , well very easy programing , as also nuvoton

Re: ITE programmer

JLcurve, only to flash KBC SIO and EDID for screen panels and also keyboard strokes

Re: ITE programmer

can you provide a link which is ebay?because when i search on ebay no results found

[highpulse]

Re: ITE programmer

notebook1.ru , this is the main forum were you find the builder/programmer of the vertyanov flasher .
http://notebook1.ru/forma1/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=89694

you can request place to buy it , i actually bought mine on ebay , but you got the direct source here

Sorry i dont opened badcaps forum from 5 days.
Highpulse have right sometimes have difficulty to connect with ITE ic . But with this price is good

Re: ITE programmer

I (finally) bought one. I'll post a quick appreciation/description of this programmer when I receive it.
