High-speed programming: Confirmed!
● SP8 is currently the programmers with the highest programming speed in the industry, even quicker than general programmers and similar special programmers which cost over 1000 RMB.
(Take 8M-bit EN25T80 as an example, SP8-A: read-1.24S, write-5.44S; Superpro 580U: read-4.15S, write-9.31S)
● Through built-in high-speed processors and special hardware design, SP8 realizes high-speed and reliable programming, especially for serial FLASH and EEPROM.
● Arithmetic optimizations for different chips

Online programming(ISP) : Confirmed!
  • Some patch chips can be programmed directly via ISP, avoiding the problem of unsoldering.
    ● The whole SP8 series has special ISP interfaces buffered with special chips, and supports 2.0V~5.5V target boards (chips).
    ISP interfaces can be set up via software whether to supply power to the target boards (voltage can be set at 3.3V or 5V).
    ● ISP power supply has protection function against over-current and short circuit, automatically detects the supply situation of target boards and thus avoids power supply conflicts.
    ● It can be used to online upgrade of main-board BIOS (application example: Use SP8-A programmer to upgrade online BIOS of MSI MS-7392 main-board;
SP8-F has an ISP interface and a download cable with 10-color single DuPont heads

Online/offline high-speed mass production: Confirmed!
Both SP8-B and SP8-F support online high-speed mass production, but only SP8-F has the function of offline mass production, which is very applicable to mass programming memories and thus saves much costs for equipment purchase and labor. Note: SP8-A does not have the function of mass production, and applies only to researchers and maintenance personnel.
Online mass production programming by SP8-B and SP8-F:
● The programmer automatically detects the position of chips, and starts the automatic programming.
● In programming, operators do not have to operate the computer, but only continuously put in and get out chips.
● You can connect several programmers to one computer for synchronous and asynchronous high-speed programming. Plug and write. No synchronous waiting. Top speed and high efficiency.
Offline mass production programming.:
● You do not have to connect it to a computer in programming, but only to the accessory 5V power adapter, and then it will automatically start the offline programming.
● Programmers have a built-in 128M memory. So no extra memory cards.
● It operates easily. Only download the offline data and you can use the device.
● It automatically detects the position of chips, starts programming, and presents programming results via state lights and the built-in buzzer.

SOFi SP8-F programming test
Car: 2004 Volvo XC90 2.4VD
ECU: BOSCH EDC15C11 which had a 44pin AM29F400BT chip
Steps:
removed the chip,
placed it into our chip reader and backed up the cars map file.
the file was then adjusted for a power map.
erased the chip then wrote the new modified map file to the chip.
once the chip was wrote, prepared the ECU’s PCB and re-soldered the chip back to the board.
