EZP2020 - new USB SPI Programmer. Wanted working software!

[KVM2007]

EZP2020 is last model simple USB programmers EZP2013 EZP2010 for 24 25 93 45 EEPROM.
I just bought it. Box without CD with software.

Software can't start! "Error reading RichEdit2"
" alt="" class="bbc_img" />
I check software at Win 7 x64 Eng (Win XP SP3 x32 and even Win2K!). Perhaps the software is only for Windows Chinese localization?
I'm not the only one with a problem. See reviews

Talked to the seller. gave a link to the driver and program. The driver is installed but the program does not start. error reading RichEdit lines strings RichEdit line insertion error program in program code. change of language also does not give anything. It is necessary to state the seller sells non-working programmers.

Don't know.

What's supposed to be different in the 2020 versus 2019?

[KVM2007]

Removed the offline copy function and added SPI 45 series instead. This is good, because polling to copy did not allow you to do onboard programming 93 Serial EEPROM for Toyota. High capacity in the power circuit lockup EZP2010 at the time of polling, and it requires rework (but it lost programming 24 and 25)

I think you are screwed, all the new chinese stuff that appears need a lot of time to get support from 3rd party software.
The ch341-based are much cheaper and support these memories.
You have asProgrammer (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/microcontrollers/asprogrammer-flash-chips-(spi-i2c-microwire)-via-usbasp/)
And neoProgrammer that also supports few laptop KBC controllers (https://remont-aud.net/load/programmy/neoprogrammer_2_2_0_3/13-1-0-80438)

laptop KBC controllers

What's to update or store there?

They have its own firmware, although they're callled KBC (keyboard controller) they actually manage a lot of system functions like temperature monitoring, power enable/disable sequences... without it, the whole laptop is dead.
So if it fails, you can't just replace it, the correct fw must be programmed too.

ch552g better than ch341.
EZP2020 is very similar to EZP2019+

Top view EZP2019+ from https://www.drive2.ru/b/552639009327678498/

Problem with software only. The manufacturer uses a very suspicious library CH375DLL.DLL (& SV00xISPDLL.dll).
What does CH375 have to do with anything !?
Software for EZP2019+ without these libraries.

Try to install Support for Chinese and Chinese font on windows, this mays solve your problem, People in China do not know the right way to make software for the western market. In fact, they don't  need to

"ch552g better than ch341."

That's not true, Apple is not better than orange, Apple is apple orange is orange

One is a USB 8051 another is a USB to serial converter, no better no worse only two different things

[KVM2007]

The size of the EEPROM is highly dependent. MCU is always faster and for frequent work with 2..4..8 MB SPI 25 series it makes a difference.
My old EZP2010 V3.0 on MCU C8051F340 works great with the 25 series. But the programming of the 93 series is damaged and it takes a long time to recover. The usual CH341 93 series also does not program or needs revision and firmware from GitHub at the link above. Spending 12$ seemed easier. It was better to choose EZP2019+ but I was hoping to get rid of the offline copy function polling.

[lpc32]

If I may be allowed to take a detour...

EZP2010  = C8051F340
EZP2013  = ?
EZP2019  = ?
EZP2019+ = CH552G
EZP2020  = CH552G, different firmware?

Are there other chip or circuit differences?

[KVM2007]

EZP2010  = C8051F340 - DeviceID  = "VID_10C4&PID_F5A0"
EZP2013  = C8051F340
EZP2019  = CH554G
EZP2019+ = CH552G - DeviceID    = "VID_1FC8&PID_310B"
EZP2020  = CH552G  - DeviceID    = "VID_1FC8&PID_300B"

Solved, but rectally!
I assumed it too, but I don't know Chinese. Now started on Win XP SP3 Eng. It worked after this setup:
1.
2. Switch to Enlish (Chinese English)

3. Working

4. Why are rectal? Congratulations, your Windows has become Chinese!!!

Congrats.

I haven't tried, but perhaps one of these could let you change the locale only for that program:

SBAppLocale
http://www.steelbytes.com/?mid=45

Locale-Emulator
https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator

[KVM2007]

SBAppLocale

Couldn't start it. Didn't find the full command line syntax
For Win XP SP3 acceptable working Microsoft AppLocale
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppLocale
need file apploc.msi





For Win7 / 10 probably

Locale-Emulator

But I didn't check it
