Review on SMAKN Programmer CH341A Burner EEPROM by Radney Taala

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Seems to be working for the most part.

This works most of the time, but I found it really annoying and sometimes dangerous to search for software and drivers on internal networks as there are viruses in some places offering downloads. Sometimes it refuses to recognize my boards with W25Q80BVSIG and W25X35 chips. Looks hit or miss. I would like to give it more stars as the quality seems good and it actually works with Flash in Linux Mint. So that's a plus, but the lack of access to Windows drivers and software is a real disappointment. [EDIT] So, after removing the BIOS and using Linux Mint with Flashrom. this works much better. 100% no problem so I upgraded to 4 stars.

Pros
  • All the positives
Cons
  • Volume
