This Programmer Sprint Expert TM (c) 1989
SMS GmbH , 8994 Hergatz (West Germany) is Model S100.
It is made of an ISA board as shown with Firmware chips
marked SW 6/91 (IB7) and EXPERTA (IB1) , EXPERTB (IB2). PCB is SPRINT-EXPERT
V.3 Jumpers S1 are set on 2 and 4 positions. Socket IB8 is empty. connector
to the programmer is 37pins Sub-D.
This version of programmer is the older version.
With the PAL16R8 in socket IB7 marked SW 6/91 the only way to use this
programmer is to use Sprint
Expert Programmer Software Version V3.4 dated 1990 (Do not require
any SMP and do not work with a SMP Module either) (Shift-Click to Download
- 383 Kb) .
PAL16R8 SW6/91 can be replaced by a PALCE16V8H ( or GAL16V8 ) with
the following contents.
In order to use a newer release you have to remove the PAL in socket IB7 and
instead of it install a so-called SMP module in socket IB8
This software Maintenance Plan (SMP) Module allows you to use the programmer
with the release
C/96. (Note that the release C/99 is buggy to read or program a MC68HC811E2
with TOP1PLC Top . You have to use the C96 software that works fine for this
component)
The security block is made of 2 ic's, a resistor and a capacitor. As expected
a PAL, Intel 5C032
(the chip you see at the bottom) and on top of the PAL a small PCB with a 9346
EEPROM (soic). The pins not showing up at the bottom are bend over to the top
and soldered to the small PCB. (GND/DI/DO/SK/etc).
Program a new 93C46 eeprom
(it is easier to use a DIL version) with the C/99 code as shown below, turn
off programmer, and remove module.
Cut off top of module with a sharp knife, carefully scrape out the filler to
expose all the pins of the eeprom and replace module in programmer board to
check that it still works correctly. Remove the original SOIC eeprom from the
module by carefully cutting its legs, and then attach six thin wires to the
pads 2 - 7. (Pins 1 and 8 are unused). Connect these wires to the pins of either
a similar SOIC ic or preferably, a 8 - pin DIL socket. Refer to manufacturer's
data sheet for details of the different pin connections.
Original eeprom is 8-pin
SOIC (Rotated version) type 93C46. (Catalyst 93C46J or equivalent) Any standard
5volt DIL 93C46 should work ok.
Instead of this surgery
on an existing SMP, with the inherent risk of damaging the Intel 5C032 beyond
repair, a replacement SMP may be built from scratch using all new components.
Details can be found in smp8.htm
if eeprom starts with ...:
then the serial number of the programmer is
00 42 D0 00 B2 .. .. .. .. 2882
00 40 D0 00 B0 .. .. .. .. 2818
00 4F D0 00 BF .. .. .. .. 3058
00 4E D0 00 BE .. .. .. .. 2930
00 4D D0 00 BD .. .. .. .. 2994
00 43 D0 00 B3 .. .. .. .. 3010
00 3C C4 40 86 .. .. .. .. 140092
Checksum Explanation:
Simple. Offset 0-2 is the serial number, offset 3 the checksum. All four bytes have inverted bit order.
Take the serial number. Convert it to hex (three bytes).
Offset 0 is the lowest byte, offset 1 the mid byte, and offset 2 the high
byte in the EEPROM.
Offset 3 is the "checksum".
page 4-51 documentation indicates that the pinout is similar to 2716 but Chip
Select (CS1 to 3) are mask programmed which means there is one chance of 8 to
find the right Chip Select configuration.
So you have to read the device as a 2716, but mount the 9316 on a adapter by
isolating pin 18,20 and 21 of the socket (so that there is no contact with the
programmer) then you have to put those 3 pins to a 2x3 jumper
First 3pins of the row to +5V or GND (as your choice) with 1K or 4K7 pull up
or pull down and the remaining 3 pins to each CS of the 9316 with a pull-up
then you have to try the 8 possible configurations with the jumpers and only
one configuration will match the 7 other will give only all $00 or $FF
ST MCC460 and Intel 87BC6QG chips that are proprietary to Porsche Ecu's
pldtest software is useful to automatically generate test vectors that check
all possible combinations of inputs/outputs of a digital circuit.
Unfortunately this Pldtest software version is a too early version that does
not use extended memory for bigger circuits, so it is only useful for small
circuits.
If you find a more recent version of Pldtest/Abel software let me know.
PLDtest works with GAL16V8, specifically p16v8c device ( pldtest.abl updated
to use a GAL16V8), but not p16v8r or p16v8s
Program works in Windows XP, unpack abel20d.zip to c:\ drive, this creates c:\abel20d
directory.
Open an MS-DOS prompt (Start->Run->cmd.exe), in MS-DOS mode run c:\abel20d>new-vars
(this set specific ABEL environment variables), run c:\abel20d>abel pldtest,
this generates u1.tst automatic test
vectors (included in pldtest.abl with @include'u1.tst') together u1.jed file
ready to program a GAL22V10 (u1.jed also contains the automatic test vectors
generated), run c:\abel20d>cleanup pldtest to
erase all files generated and c:\abel20d>old-vars to clear ABEL environment
variables and c:\abel20d>exit to close MS-DOS prompt.
Automatic test generation only supports the devices in c:\abel20d\pldtest\lib2
(does not support GAL16V8 but supports GAL22V10).
The files c:\abel20d\abellib.dev and c:\abel20d\lib2\*.* are ABEL specific,
and the files c:\abel20d\pldtest\abellib.dev and c:\abel20d\pldtest\lib2\*.*
are PLDtest specific, but they are compatible.
