  • Hello,

    Did you know that we have an internal forum for use when you need to share information that is not allowed to be shared publicly? You can also reach out to me via email if you feel that information will be helpful to our conversation.

    As for supporting programmers -- we don't do that. The customer will have to go to the programmer manufacturer to get help with it. We don't manufacture, program, produce, or otherwise interact with those programmers.

  • Hi Maier,

    Customer replied:
    Thank you for your interest.
    But I really don't understand
    The issue is not my name or mail adress as engineer mentioned.
    Question is that can I download firmware from your device ? Answer is yes or no. And I ask this to manufacturer. Really upset the situation. But anyway at least you dealed with me.
    Thank you very much
    Have a nice Noel.

  • Ah, I see the confusion now. My apologies for misunderstanding the original question.

    No, firmware cannot be downloaded from this device. This device doesn't have firmware - it contains fuses that are melted to create a certain functionality. A programmer is used to apply the appropriate voltages for the appropriate amount of time to cause the fuses to fail as intended.

  • Please do not feel sorry. Maybe I did not make a clear description.

    However, my customer satisfied with this answer. Thanks for the support.

    Regards.
