Error 43 in the CH341A programmer

The other day I ordered a batch of CH341A programmers in China, which are used to flash 24-25 series memory chips.
But as it turned out, when connected to Windows 10 and 7, a message is displayed that "USB device is not recognized."
Initially I thought that the problem was in the CH341A chip itself, but it turned out that everything was much simpler.

Also, in “Device Manager,” Windows defined it as “Unknown USB Device (device handle request failed)”,
and in the properties, writes about the error "The Windows system stopped this device, because it reported the occurrence of problems.
(Code 43) and, of course, the VID and PID (VID_0000 & PID_0002) are incorrectly defined.

Opening the CH341A documentation and looking at examples of schematic diagrams, you can see that 12 MHz quartz is used everywhere.

And on the CH341A programmer itself, the quartz is set to 27.120 MHz

We take a soldering iron and unsolder the wrong quartz 27.120 MHz and solder a new one at 12 MHz.

We connect the programmer CH341A to the computer and see that the OS has a new device with VID and PID wine (VID_1A86 & PID_5512)

Completion of the programmer
In the process of working with the programmer revealed some shortcomings,
one of them: it is not possible to reset / set the QE bit in the second status register.
We read datashit, for example, on the chip W25Q64FV, and we find the puntQuad Enable (QE) ,
in which there is a warning:
WARNING: If the / WP or / HOLD pins are tied directly to the power supply or ground during
standard SPI or Dual SPI operation, the bit should never be set to a 1.

To fix this flaw, you need to detach the legs #WP (pin 3) and #HOLD (pin7) from VCC
and connect them to VCC via resistors 4.7 com.
On the "black programmer" it looks like this:

I am not a real flash driver, but I strive to help the suffering because of my own recent torment.

Runaway Google leads to a very advanced (and full of snobs, he) forum remont-aud.net, where this chipreferred to as interchangeablewith MX25L1605D.
If a this is so, then with your MK25D16BTIG you can work with the CH341A programmer, since For example, in the AsProgrammer program (and probably in the native CH341A Programmer), the MX25L1605D chip is supported.

Ie, the CH341A programmer is taken, the adapter-bed for the microcircuit is taken in the package of the size SOP-8 (to do without extra soldering), such:

Or you can solder on the bundled card. Put AsProgrammer, or Colibri, set your ms on the "key", read the firmware.
In case of problems with reading / erasing / writing, I recommend myself to ask my questionon the software development forumfor CH341 - they are just engaged in adding chips to the database.

Hello everyone, the programmer arrived the other day, downloaded the program: CH341A Programmer: Attached fileCH341A_1.30_ (558_chip) .zip, but the winbond 25Q64FVSIG chip at 8mb did not want to identify and read it, it got into the Internet and downloaded the old 1.18 program at least periodically and She cursed and it seemed to me that she cursed when she turned the slider on the main program window, but she still thought the chip, erased it and wrote it down while doing everything through the clothespin without discharging the chip itself.
I think you need to add the old version of the program to the header or something is wrong with version 1.30 and fix it.
I did everything with windows 10 x64
1.30, too, the error crashes

If your experiments succeed, please do not be lazy and unsubscribe in this thread (what did they change, what did they sew, did the additional voltage apply, and so on) - this can greatly contribute to the fight between brooders and know-hows.

For me, for example, as for a casual person in flashing, it was a revelation that native flash memory can be replaced with large capacity memory (instead of 2 Mbps to 4 Mbps, MX25L2026D to MX25L4005A), edit the firmware for the new size, and the device to be repaired (in my case monitor Envision) zakolositsya. This solution (not at all) was gleaned.from the forum correspondenceand not from the manual, which once again proves the value of the forum :)

The person or organization whose software goes to the programmer, SkyGZ, has its own channel / shop on taobao, skygz.world.taobao.com (I give the link in case the link to a specific product dies). Here he has an improved version of the programmer with, as I understand it, the integrated power supply of 3.3 and 1.8 volts, plus, probably, an infrared port. About 70 yuan (600+ rubles), expensive! :)

item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a312a.7700824.w4004-1189370242.33.7b125ae5uuE6JL&id=39537489315

So I think that in the program the "wrong" picture of installing the chip in the zif pads coincides with "his" products.

-------

On the discussion thread AsProgrammer, the info was found that the person had errors when working with memory chips powered by 3.3 volts but the span of the data signals and clock was 5 volts. In my "black" version, the power of the ch341 is from 5 volts, and there were errors. Probably, in the black versions, the signal swing is just 5 volts. As far as I understood from the datasheet, the 28 pin ch314a needs to be connected to 9m when powering the ch341a from 3.3 volts.

CH341A is a universal chip, it is an i2c controller and a UART converter (CH340G hike). Program shaft, one of them is the official utility for programming Atmel microcontrollers. In that case, I showed how to flash the Atmega8 microcontroller through the CH341A. The second programmer is USBAsp, which comes from sellers with Aliexpress with old firmware. It was to him that I updated the firmware, flashed it.

Yes, there is such an opportunity. But the program turned out to be inconvenient for me, it became especially buggy sometimes. It starts working with CH341A after replacing the DLL, through which the native Postal2 is accessed, and with the modified one to CH341A. Colibri is by far the best, the AsProgrammer is behind it, then the CH341A Programmer 1.17, and the others are no higher than 1.30.

Good day to all. Here I had a nonsense: I decided to pick up my old ASUS K52N laptop. I installed XP, I installed firewood-software, and everything worked well, if not for one thing: it became very interesting, why is there such a thing in the 218 version, which was already laid out in the 16th year. stitched through bios, the first stage (cleaning) 100%, the second hung 99%. And then I realized that in vain I started it)
But it was too late. The diode has stopped to burn when connected to power. The combinations tried different ...
Revised the entire board - the only thing that is similar to the BIOS - Winbond W25Q16BVSIG
As a result, I ordered this device (already on hand). But my joy is over.
At first I thought maybe the problem is in the clothespin, I rang - the rules.
then, on the motherboard, I noticed control contacts in the amount of 7 pieces. not only 3 pin, but there is a 3.3v programmer
like all the rules, but something is wrong:
When you connect to the BIOS, the programs behave exactly the same as if it is not there
when you click on the "recognize" button, it receives some FF
It was a couple of times when it was different, but with each click there is random data
so like all the rules, but no. toli I can not.

Maybe I was embarrassed that when the power was connected (stuck in yusb and rang)
The earth bridges (the tester shows that there is a connection) with 3.3v? Is this the norm?
those. I just stuck a programmer without plugging in anything, and so
without power there is no such

and more: what is m / s?

Strange wonders of magic
Tried to ring in working order ...
when the 7th pin began to bind with almost everything - the program counted at least some info from him, moreover! 4! times in a row the same
JEDEC ID (9F) = 0xEF4015
RES ID (AB) = 0x001414
REMS ID (90) = 0x00EF14

clicked to program - after again as before.
JEDEC ID (9F) = 0x00FFFF
RES ID (AB) = 0x00FFFF
REMS ID (90) = 0x00FFFF

There is a connection through the controls, but only meju 1 with 1, 2 with 2,
And as I understand it, it is necessary that a little more ... maybe the chip itself is already bad?
