Re: Archer C9 V.4 Can ch341a be used for programming a 16pin Winbond w25q128fv

Hello dear friend @megaraider.

I hope you are still out there somewhere and living a merited joyous life.

I am answering you only now because gratitude is in the order of the day.

Well, with your insight-fullness along with others, I was finally able to use flashrom utility on my systems.

(although having had major trouble using ch341a, which I haven't yet figured out how to make it work) I had some luck using a raspberry pi 3b+ to...

Ok! You're right!

I've (finally) understood that I could have used (before) a multimeter to check the pinout. And it does check!

So: these images (from that "alleged" converter), are going to work

Cheers!...

Hi sorry.

I posted after your updated post.

I didn't realize that you had already answered. So, again, my apologies.

And thank you very much for your answer. I do appreciate it!

I will proceed then with the work and post update as soon as there will be more news.

Cheers!...

Hi again,

I have this "sort" of PCB converter.

I am not sure whether it will be compatible. And that's why I asked for help in this particular subject.

I hope you understand and that I am not too...

Hi thank you for your answer.

I have a very poor eyesight, and my soldering skills are very feeble as well, that's why I've asked this.

Do you think that the conversion "deducted" from the w25q128fv datasheet is somehow logic or feasible?

Thank you beforehand....

Re: Archer C9 V.4 Can ch341a be used for programming a 16pin Winbond w25q128fv

Hi everyone (again)

I've produced a conversion helper image to explain what's on my mind right now.

and

Can anyone please tell me if my reasoning is correct?

What these images intend to question is: can the pin mapping from the images that I've posted be useful to convert and use the 16 clip to the ch341a 25xx series pinout?

Thank you tremendously for any help.

(P.s.: Thank you...

Archer C9 V.4 Can ch341a be used for programming a 16pin Winbond w25q128fv

Hello folks,

(First post of mine, after introduction).

I came here to seek help for a board SPI reprogramming.

The referred board belongs to an Archer C9 V.4 EU router, which I believe, is bricked, (I was the one to brick it during a flashing operation with custom dd-wrt firmware upgrade).

The IC that I want to flash is this one:

The one in the motherboard has 16 pins. (There...
