About “Device ID” and “Auto Select” on EE Tools programmers

Most of the devices have their own manufacturer and device ID’s in each programmable devices such as E(E)PROM / Flash Memory, PLD, and MCU. However the old type of devices such as PAL, PROM, or 2816 does not come with an ID because the IC makers didn’t put its ID for the older chip types.

(Auto Select)

As you can see the “warning” in the Auto Select menu in MaxLoader, we can only guarantee the “auto select” function for 32-pin or less device in E(E)PROM / Flash Memory. Since device library in programmer software has information for these standard devices, users can utilize this feature as their purpose. However, all other devices such as PLD, Serial Memory, Microcontroller, and FPGA are not able to be recognized by programmer software automatically. We use this feature as optional device selection menu. Auto Select command allows you choose an unknown device through device IDs which were recorded in MaxLoader library. Put a device up to 32-pin on the ZIF socket of programmer and click on “Auto Select” in Select Device
