V2.2.0.10 [upd]: Neoprogrammer

NeoProgrammer benefits from an active community of developers and users who continue to enhance the software. Regular chip database updates are released, adding support for new flash memory models from manufacturers including:

One of the strongest benefits of NeoProgrammer is its active development cycle. Unlike the now-stagnant ASProgrammer, NeoProgrammer receives regular chip database updates and bug fixes. Community updates following V2.2.0.10 have included:

NeoProgrammer V2.2.0.10 includes an optional Chinese language pack . While the newly added “detect” functionality was not yet fully translated in some early builds, the core interface and instructions are available in multiple languages, making the tool more accessible to a global audience.

NeoProgrammer V2.2.0.10 is an enhanced, modified version of the open-source ASProgrammer project (originally found on GitHub at github.com/nofeletru/UsbAsp-flash ). It is specifically designed to work with CH341A USB programmers, which are widely used for reading, writing, and erasing various types of memory chips including SPI Flash, I2C EEPROMs, and even certain microcontrollers. The software is compatible with popular CH341A hardware variants such as the black and green editions.

Neoprogrammer V2.2.0.10 is not limited to the CH341A. The developer has included support for: Community updates following V2
