ENE KB930 not programming

[Jesus N. Gomez]

Hello:

I'm having problems trying to program the ENE KB930 (and also the KB3930). It's driving me crazy.

I'm using the ZIF debugger board, and it does recognize the EC, everything seems fine (with the right MoBo selected, the ZIF ENE Board, all pins checked OK), but when I start to program it, it begins fine, seems to write it, BUT when it goes to verify in less than a second I have always the same message: verify false.

The results are always the same: when you read the chip, all that you see in the list are zeroes; not a single line of code (even reading a used one, supposed to have code inside).

I have no solution for this, but the question is: must I do the same as with the ITE 8585 (I mean, use an additional BIOS to "empty" the ENE KB930, or KB3930)?.

All jumpers are done acording your schematic (there were several not installed from factory in the ENE/NUVOTON debugger board).

Thanks in advance.

…anybody?

Applicable also to ENE KB926QF. But with this one, pins checked OK, and after that, it tells you "connecting to KBC status false":

Screen captures ENE KB3930. I have tested ENE KB9022 under same conditions and it works fine.

JUST FOR OUR INFO (for all of us who doesn’t know it):

I have received an email from SVOD, confirming that this EC (KB930) is NOT programmable.

By the way, if somebody can put here a list or a link with the ECs which are programmable, and which ones are not, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
