Hello there!
Falling from mine tree.
I own a FlashcatUSB 2.1 updated to the latest and I'm having some issue getting it right.
I'm either getting a "Flash memory detected but not found in flash library" with the (FlashCatUSB) VCC to (25x16vsig) VCC or (EXTERNAL USB 3.3v) VCC to (25x16vsig) VCC.
I can get the 25x16vsig chip recognized only if I remove the VCC entirely and booting the board one time, removing the power cord and discharging the residual power.
Issue is: even if recognized all the DATA is FF(empty).
By changing the (FlashCatUSB) SIO3 from the (25x16vsig) HOLD/IO3 (manual diagram page 14/25) to the (25x16vsig) VCC I can read some data but most of it's garbage. I know because I have the content already on backup from an un-soldered chip.
I know the FlashCatUSB is fully capable to read and write the content from\to when the 25x16vsig is not in-circuit, since physically detaching the 25x16 from the motherboard work but how can I get the FlashCatUSB working trough a IC clip? shouldn't be possible? I bought it for it.
Anyway, if you can help me there:
How do I properly attach the FlashCatUSB 2.1 to an IC CLIP to the in-circuit 25x16 SOIC (SOP) 8PIN?
( https://www.blackcatusb.net/index.php?threads/problem-with-connecting-flashcat-usb.500/page-2 give the same result, doesn't work )
I'm using the following template/diagram out-of-circuit and it work while inside a DIP8 adapter.
