I don't want to spend (I'm a cheap bastard) the $18 to get a programmer for the xecuter 2.6ce. I have a willem programmer that handles all sorts of flashes and bioses, but I need to know the bus type of the flash chip on the 2.6ce. Unfortunately, the chips have been defaced and their markings are no longer visible. The board has also been painted to make looking at the circuit traces very difficult.
I've got an 8051 based homemade microcomputer I can code for to interface with the flash chip - it's just a matter of knowing which pins do what, and what the interface spec is.
A little help from the team executer people would be nice. Somehow I don't think I'll get it, considering the lengths to which they went to obscure information about the product.
BTW, the reason I need a programmer is a failed flash on bank2. Bank 1 was perpetually unflashable. Flashbios came up "read only?" on that bank, even though the flash protect bit was off. I would RMA, but the failure can't be proven to not be my own at this point. Instead, I'm going the hardware geek route.
