Hi all

Just ordered a UPA-usb to find out it takes like 3 weeks to get it???? Anyone had any experience with them? At the end of the day Bulgaria is in eastern Europe not China. I've had chinese products delivered quicker. Are they placing an order to china as soon as someone placing a order with them? That could be the only explanation. Or, if they built in house, they have no stock and just looking to build one/some?

Hope fully the product is better than the service they provide.

Hi I got only the programmer from elrasoft in this sec . It took 4 days to Ireland.
I did not get the Usb cable and software and manual.

i've bought a couple of programmers from elrasoft, and as you say it says 3 weeks, but if always been within the week, also as in above post its only been programmer, no leads or software or intructions.....

florinyes
20th January, 2010, 03:24 PM
Thanks

So leads should be ordered separately? Shouldn't they specify when you order that you need leads too? This is bo***x.

What leads suppose to came with? Is it just a usb lead?

20th January, 2010, 03:44 PM
haven't seen leads on there website, but have seen eeprom clips with leads on ebay, don't know what the quality is like, then you need some connecters for other end of lead, sorry i don't know the correct name is, but they are the 9 pin adaptors... somebody else will probably know a supplier if you post your location, in uk, i know maplins do them, but as i said i don't know where you are....

The usb cable just a simple USB printer cable. If you download the demo software the manual is in a HELP subdirectory.
http://elrasoft.eu/uuprog_demo.zip
But no driver for it. And no software. I asked them in email. But no answer until this time.
If you want adapters you should order separately. But only two exist.

Sometimes U need to wait 3 weeks , but allways U will recive the programamer, also in the price of interface are included software application and future upgrades.
After U recive the hardware programmer write an email to support@elrasoft... and ask for .lic file
also U will get an username and a password to get access on elrasoft ftp were U will find last software version and other informations about adapters .
All adapters for eeproms need to be made it by U

20th January, 2010, 05:13 PM
www.maplin.co.uk (http://www.maplin.co.uk) the product code for the connector from lead into programmer is RK61R (its a D-sub connector), then do a search on ebay for eeprom clips with cables on... if you want a diagram of which wire goes where send me a pm and will help you out...

I am doing the same for the Espace dash & BII. I bought one from Elrasoft, it arrived in less than a week to the UK. Don't expect to get any help from them though. I have asked 3 times for support on adaptors & have not got a reply.
For me I think it would have been better to have bought the
ETL http://www.etlweb.com/?ref=products_programming_tools version that comes with adaptors. & if you mail them you can negociate on price.
I have ordered a clam type holder for the chip so I don't have to solder it to the adaptor & I see you can get one of these for the ETL.
Can anyone point me in the direction of articles regarding using this with the tacho universal, this would save me removing the chips & would be a great help, Thanks.
I'm off to do some searching about this.

I bought a pack of female crimp pins from Maplin & used insulation tape to wrap them as I couldnt find the small heat shrink. It does the job, not as good as ready made though. Thanks Adam I will keep them in mind.

I have not found any usefull help files for their software & tech support tells me to go read a different chip!! If there is a good forum you know of then let me know. I currently have it telling me I have an error of hi reset. Does not matter how many times I have checked the connections & have tried 3 chips. & how do you enter the security bits.

Yes that is what I am trying to do. The elrasoft may not be the best option. It is to be used with the chip in circuit. I have spent many hours trying to read this chip & banging my head against a wall. Curently have frame error showing. Waiting to hear from support to see where I'm going wrong. They recon It may not be poss to read this chip due to security settings.
May be better to buy the etl programmer as it is so much easier to remove the chip than messing around with a magnifying glass trying to solder to the legs of the chip. (in this case)
No doubt it will pay for it self reading other chips but at the mo 'the jury is out' !!!

If you remove the chip it needs a circuit + the crystal. So only other way is the etl 908 programmer. Different for other devices though.

Dont think it does read manual attached page 18

Thanks, It is the same as what is in the elrasoft help file however this is the reply from tec support.


> me > At the moment I get 'high reset'

tech reply >
the programmer can not put reset in '1' because the MCU hold this pin = '0'


You get this error when

- Reset pin circuit does not allow programmer to drive MCU Reset pin

in this case lift MCU Reset pin and connect P7(programmer) direct to this pin

- There is a MCU oscillator fault - no clock on EXTAL-XTAL MCU pins

now check quartz resonator or external oscillator - in some cases you have to power all target board by external power supply

in this cases do not make connection P9(programmer) -> Vdd(MCU)


What you've done:

you've desoldered the chip and trying to read

you've connected a crystal to XTAL - EXTAL ->good

but according device datasheet you have to connect a 10Mohm resistor to XTAL-EXTAL too

also you have to connect additional components to some pinso the MCU can work

see attached schematic of hc08 adapter

As you see it's not enough to make a few connections to the chip and to get success reading

MC68HC08AZ60 MCU mask set: 1J35D (http://www.datasheetarchive.com/datasheet-pdf/018/DSA00309925.html)

1J35D this device has additional eeprom protection

it is not supported by this programmer if this protection is ON

In most cases trying to read a protected hc908:

eeprom area will read ADs only not real data
> tech support end.

So If there is anyone out there that knows the magic answer to reading this chip onboard with this programmer, please step forward :)

Hello, I have ordered UPA-USB from Elrasoft.

I have received order confirmation, but in email they only talk about software delivery but not about programmer (hardware), and in invoice only appears "UPA-USB Device Programmer Software". I understand that it includes the programmer, because when I placed order it appear like a "pack".

Is this normal???

I'm worry about buying only software, but I think it would be not reasonable.

This programmer is sold as an 'onboard programmer' so for many devices that need a clock or rely on another circuit you are supposed to power up the board seperatley. For simple devices then yes you can remove it from its board. Some people prefer to cut the circuit rather than lift the legs. Hope you get to grips with it. The pdf manual shows dotted lines but don't believe that you are supposed to lift these. You are best to do some research here or contact support.

I don't think these adaptors are going to be any good to you without a clock circuit. As per my earlier post, I bought one & tried it with no success. UPA-USB is an 'on board programmer' especially when you need other circuits to get the device to work.

I don't have any documentation of this adapter and I did not found any info on forum or internet. I want to use it with my Upa programmer but not sure how. Do I solder eeproms to this adapter? Or is it enough if I just clip them to the board? Also there are some pins on top of adapter (10 pins exactly) it looks that you can bridge them or you can connect something there, I don't know exactly what....I'm sure somebody using this or has seen this adapter.Any help or documentation would be welcomed.
Thanks.

Hi.

Although the picture is quite blurry, I think it is meant to attach eproms directly on the board (dip on the top looks like it is a female adapter) or solder it (for the bottom two - soic and ?). For the ten pins on the top I don't have a clue - that is all I can see :).
Check with meter if connections from db-9 is the right one on the board. For example pin 5 goes to pin 1 on soic...

I don't work with this adapter, I made my own one. But it looks ok. You could just try to program lets say 24c04. You can get these or 93cxx from old ethernet pci cards (mostly in soic form). Solder it in bottom socket (24c or 93c) and try reading it with UPA.

Thanks Smac. I will try it on, I guess is the only way to find out.Firstly I'm thinking just to clip the eeprom to board using the clips that my mum uses to hung clothing after washing. :laugh: It seems faster than soldering/unsoldering to board. If eeprom gets good contact with adapter pads it may just work :ridinghorse:
If anyone else has worked with this adapter please share your experiences.

HI mates,
I bring my contribution and hope will help.
Here is the detailed file, showing how to make all adapters for EEPROMS, and where to solder wires for in circuit reading for MCUS Motorola.
Believe me, is very easy to make these adapters. Just you need is female /female RS232 cable, which you will cut in the middle, , with Multimeter you will specify each wire connection with female plug, this one hase numbers printed on the blue side showing each pin, they are also mentioned in the pdf document, all you have to is start your Solders !! :D

Thanks Amine13. I already have that upa-usb pdf file. There is a tread about making your own adapters somewere on forum but since I got this adapter I was curious if someone has it,and if it is easier to work with this one rather than using the DIY adapter described by you. Anyway anybody got an idea about the 10 pins sticking out of this board? I have seen some ready made eeprom soic/clip adapters on ebay that are already wired and they have just the connector that will fit on top of that adapter.

You can do it easily, all you have to do is to save the colors leads and their correspondance with RS232 female terminal; for example, the one I have is :
1: Black
2: brown...
I will try to upload some photos of the components you need to make an adapter from UPA ready to hold the eeprom directly.

As promised here are some photos, all the components are availlable, you can find them easily, maybe for SOP8 adapter, you can get it through internet for less About 1500 Da ( 15?).
Sorry for the colors affectation, is in french. Then you can make just two cables with that, and when you need swiotch from SPI, I2C to Microwire, just unplug SOP8 adapter and put it on the other cable
Best Regards.

Thanks Amine13. I ordered some 8 pin eeprom clip soic,it seems everybody is using them here and will make own leads using the cable you have on pictures. Now back to my adapter :)) I managed to find one 24C04 wich successfully read and program and one 24C02 that I mounted on adapter printed pads and secured with a clip my mum uses to hang clothes after washing :)) it needed a little extra pressure on the clip to achieve good contact with adapter pads and after that...... read and program successful!! No need to solder then. I've had some good times playing with this adapter. It seems it can be used safely to read and program. Didn't had other eeproms to test so only this two been tested with.

hi,

Does anyone managed to pay for UPA at share-it with paypal ?

When I suppose to be redirected to paypal website, just get message that order is delayed and nothing happens.

Share-it support is not helpful :( they just suggest to match billing email with paypal account email, but doesn't help either.

Did you used paypal or wiretransfer ?

I gave up with paypal and used wiretransfer to order UPA.

Why the hell don't they just supply you a login with the device, I am waiting for mine to be delivered, and from the sounds off it, even when it does turn up I might have to wait another week for login, just so I can use it.

Seems to me by reading hundreds of posts that the hardware is good, but apart from that everything else sucks!

If UPA programmer is original, write e-mail to support@elrasoft.com (support@elrasoft.com?subject=ELRASOFT%20Client%20 Center%20login%20trouble).
If serial number of device is ok, you will get username/password to log in. This version of software (1.3.0.14) have to be activated anyway in Elrasoft...
