In reference to this thread Problem with connecting FlashCat USB I'm in a comparable situation:
- I ordered FlashCat USB classic package from Amazon US via priority mail shipping across to Europe and got a PCB2.1 version which I had to update to firmware 4.4. Really thought this is an easy plug and play job.
- Trying to use JSPI1 on my MSI Z77A GD55 with Jumper pin connectors excactly as noted in the FlashCat manual and trying to flash a W25Q64, but can't get it be detected correctly.
- I really don't want to desolder the chip, getting more and more frustrated by noticing that this seems to be an VCC issue as stated in the thread above and I'm lost with my PCB2.1 version
Is there any chance to supply stable 3,3V to the JSPI1 pins needed for flashing or instead bypassing JSPI1 with using a SOIC8 SOP8 Flash Chip Clip Adapter directly on the W25Q64?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
