minipro An open source program for controlling the MiniPRO TL866xx series of chip programmers Features * Compatibility with Minipro TL866CS and Minipro TL866A from Autoelectric (http://www.autoelectric.cn/en/tl866_main.html) * More than 13000 target devices (including AVRs, PICs, various BIOSes and EEPROMs) * ZIF40 socket and ISP support * Vendor-specific MCU configuration bits * Chip ID verification * Overcurrent protection * System testing Synopsis $ minipro -p ATMEGA48 -w atmega48.bin $ minipro -p ATMEGA48 -r atmega48.bin For regular users: Add regular users to user group "minipro" to grant access permission to the hardware sudo usermod -a -G minipro ----------------------------------------------------- minipro version 0.5 A free and open TL866XX programmer Usage: minipro [options] options: --list -l List all supported devices --search -L List devices like this --programmer -q Force a programmer model when listing devices. Possible values: TL866A TL866II --query_supported -Q Query supported programmers --presence_check -k Query programmer version currently connected. --get_info -d Show device information --get_id -D Just read the chip ID --read -r Read memory --write -w Write memory --verify -m Verify memory --format -f Specify file format Possible values: ihex, srec --blank_check -b Blank check. Optionally, you can use -c to specify a memory type --auto_detect -a Auto-detect SPI 25xx devices Possible values: 8, 16 --pin_check -z Check for bad pin contact --skip_erase -e Do NOT erase device --erase -E Just erase device --write_protect -u Do NOT disable write-protect --no_write_protect -P Do NOT enable write-protect --skip_verify -v Do NOT verify after write --device -p Specify device (use quotes) --page -c Specify memory type (optional) Possible values: code, data, config --pulse, --vpp -o Specify various programming options --vdd, --vcc For multiple options use -o for each option Programming voltage *=TL866II+ only **=TL866A/CS only (*9,*9.5, 10, *11, *11.5, *12, 12.5) (*13, 13.5, 14, *14,5, 15.5, 16) (*16.5, 17, 18, **21) VDD write voltage VCC verify voltage (3.3, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6.5) Programming pulse delay (0-65535 usec) --icsp_vcc -i Use ICSP --icsp_no_vcc -I Use ICSP (without enabling Vcc) --no_size_error -s Do NOT error on file size mismatch (only a warning) --no_size_warning -S No warning message for file size mismatch (can't combine with -s) --skip_id -x Do NOT attempt to read ID (only valid in read mode) --no_id_error -y Do NOT error on ID mismatch --version -V Show version information --hardware_check -t Start hardware check --update -F Update firmware (should be update.dat or updateII.dat) --help -h Show help (this text) ----------------------------------------------------- tip: overwrite chip id for compatible chips having an unknown id: minipro -w image.bin -y -p "AM29F010B@DIP32" minipro -r image.bin -y -p "AM29F010B@DIP32"
