TommyPROM can be used to read and write many different types of EEPROM, Flash, and EPROM
|
|
chips. Due to differences in the technologies of these chips, some features of TommyPROM
|
|
may work differently or may not be applicable at all. The standard code can read most
|
|
types of PROM, even if there is no specific software support for them.
|
|
|
|
Broadly speaking, there are two different ways to write to chips. The first method is
|
|
similar to a static RAM - the WE signal is asserted and data is written to a location
|
|
using the data and address lines. This is the case for the 28C64. Some of these chips,
|
|
like the 27C257, need a programming voltage to be present on the Vpp or PGM pin. There
|
|
are usually timing requirements for the program pulse and there may be repeated write
|
|
cycles needed with a verification cycle to complete the write.
|
|
|
|
The second method is the use of a program command register. Bytes are written to a single
|
|
location by sending a command string, which is a series of chip writes. These chips
|
|
usually have additional commands to erase sectors or to lock and unlock the chip. The
|
|
SST39SF010 is an example of a chip that uses a command register.
|
|
|
|
Some chips use a combination of both methods. The 28C256 uses a command register to
|
|
enable and disable Software Data Protection, but uses a direct write for programming.
|
|
|
|
TommyPROM has a variety of PromDevice Modules that can be compiled in to support these
|
|
different chip technologies.

## PromDevice Modules
|
|
|
|
This PromDevice28C module is enabled by default to program 28C256 EEPROMS. To use a
|
|
different module, make the following edits:
|
|
|
|
* In configure.h, comment out the #define PROM_IS_28C line
|
|
* Uncomment one of the other PROM_IS_ lines to compile a different module
|
|
* In TommyPROM.ino, uncomment or add a new PromDevice declaration for the specific chip
