Asprogrammer 2.1.0.13 __link__ -
In the world of hardware hacking, BIOS recovery, and embedded system repair, the ability to read, write, and erase non-volatile memory chips (like EEPROMs and SPI Flash) is indispensable. For years, the go-to solution for hobbyists was a combination of two things: the ubiquitous, $5 USD CH341A black/blue programmer board, and the increasingly unstable version 1.18 of Asprogrammer.

: Allows users to view and modify the binary content of a chip directly within the software before writing it back. Asprogrammer 2.1.0.13
The Asprogrammer 2.1.0.13 update brings a host of exciting new features that enhance the overall development experience. Some of the notable additions include:
If you read a chip and the entire buffer is FF (blank), but you know the chip has data: In the world of hardware hacking, BIOS recovery,
