CH341 Tutorial

This document provides instructions for using a CH341a programmer to program a 25-pin SPI BIOS into a flash memory. It explains how to properly mount the memory onto an adapter, install the necessary drivers and software, and use the program to detect, erase, and program the BIOS into the memory. It also includes safety tips such as wearing gloves and carefully connecting/disconnecting the USB.

The ch341a that we will use for this tutorial is the

black edition, it comes with an adapter for

we usually meet in 90% of the mothers
current, attached photo. It is the same if you have the
green version of the programmer.
So that it is understood, everything must be mounted from
in such a way that pin one matches in the
programmer, pin one of the BIOS must be soldered to the
Adapter aligning pin one as seen in the
photo. At the same time, pin 1 of the adapter is oriented
toward the coupling plug the programmer that
it would be pin 1 on the programmer.

As you can see, the programmer has two spaces.


the first of 8 pins more oriented to the USB port,
corresponds to sector 25SPI and oriented towards the
The fastening plug belongs to sector 24SPI,
we are going to use the one more oriented towards the
USB port, like in the photo.

Now let's talk about drivers, programs, and bins. The

Now ready the software, which is called CH341A.

double clicking should open the programmer,
let's remember that we have it on some usb
our CH341A with the SPi25 Bios is up and running now
installed. We will see the application open ready to
to use.

We start by selecting the data section


from the memory the type of bios to use, we choose 25SPI
and we click on DETECT, now the results should appear
data from our memory will automatically come out
the data, we need to review Manufacture, memory
name and memory size, and compare them with the memory
inserted in the Adapter confirming that everything is fine
Good. Now in the menu bar we select
Verify, this step only confirms that the memory is
correct, then erase to delete memory.

Ready to record, we open open select

click on AUTO, from there the programmer takes the
control and perform recording and verification,
after a while it will end, please do not touch

Disconnect the USB from the system and then
disconnect, disassemble the adapter, desolder the
memory and solder it back to the motherboard.
Everything is ready, finished.

Observations and myths


Let's be careful, let's work with gloves,
this way we avoid unwanted surprises,
remember that we are working with tensions of
5v, 3.3v and 1.8v and the bare hand can have up to thousands
from volts to low amperage, if we are a power plant
electrostatics.
Let's connect and disconnect the USB carefully,
remember what usually happens when we disconnect
a flash drive without closing the connection... Although it has
protections there are trying to be methodical.
Do things calmly, let's guide well the
pin 1 in the adapter and the programmer, if it

USB, something good for the forgetful.
