It doesn't say that it comes with the other stuff? There's a separate extension board with cables on sale there.

Have you bought it yourself to say for sure that it comes as such a kit?

Yes,my set was complete with flat cables and extension board for keyboard testing. You can confirm some informations on sales.svod.project@gmail.com .
I personaly bought V2 1year back and they sent me now (1month back) new boards V3 for free.

Re: svod programmer

Okay, but here's another question.

KB9012 programming is the same as programming of KB9022, IT8586 etc programmable IC-s?

I am asking because flashrom has included KB9012 programming in their latest version and since I am using flashrom for other programming purposes anyway, I would rather continue with it.

Edit:
Looks like programming is the same so I think I will order a new chip and try it out when it arrives.

Re: svod programmer

ENE KB9xxx has an SPI bus directly available for flashing. As long as the software recognizes its id you should be ok.
ITE IT8xxx uses another interface AFAIK and you can't just flash it with a regular SPI ROM programmer.

Re: svod programmer

Might be so. I just found out that other KB9xxx can be flashed with that but didn't search for IT/MEC compatibility yet.

Edit:
BUT, looks like IT85xx chips are supported aswell. Not 100% sure tho.

Re: svod programmer

Pretty old topic..... but anyway.

What does SVOD stand for? Googling this does not seems to be very popular.

Any detailed article about this kind of programming where can be found?

Re: svod programmer

svod and vertiyanov-both are equally good and almost same product.

SVOD is kind of jack of all trades. It aims to program all kinds of chips including SPI, SIO, JTAG , NAND flash etc. While Vertyanov is solely aimed to program SIO only.

Re: svod programmer

So SVOD acronym what stands for?

I think it is derived from combining the first Letter of it's creators.

The creator of the vertyanov is called (S)ergey (V)ertyanov,he`s based in (OD)essa in the ukraine.I don`t think he`s involved with the SVOD project from some of the comments ive read at vlab (dot) su ,i could be wrong though .

I am not referring to Sergie Vertyanov. If i am correct, SALVOSKIA is the main Engineer behind the Project and the S may be stand for his name and other letters for other members in the team

Re: svod programmer

Why this kind of programming is not very popular? You can barely someone can find articles or details for the procedure.
