What is the best programmer to read TMS370 mcu, vvdi prog, Orange 5, Xprog or other programmers? Let’s check it out.
Orange 5
Orange 5 definitely no problem with TMS370
But it require TMS370 adapter and license for instrument TMS370/TMS374/TMS375.
2) OEM Orange 5
TMS370 adapter comes default in package and does not require license.
Orange5 clone works well.
Support EEPROM programming of TMS370 series CPUs.
You should weld everything, try that, it will surely work in a good way.
Xprog box reads TMS379 smoothly
I’m using Xprog m version 5.6 and it’s a clone but it works just fine and haven’t had any issues with it so far.
To read TMS370 mcu, you need extra TMS370 adapter
vvdi prog supports following TMS series mcus:
Add TMS370C002A, TMS370C010A, TMS370C012A, (Need TMS370(PLCC28) ADAPTER)
TMS370C020A, TMS370C022A, TMS370C032A, TMS370C040A, TMS370C042A, (Need TMS370(PLCC44) ADAPTER)
TMS370C050A, TMS370C052A, TMS370C056A, TMS370C058A,TMS370C256A (Need TMS370(PLCC68) ADAPTER) options in <2-MCU>->
Wiring diagram example:
Read & write the old Jetta Immo box
Read & write Opel Audio module
Note: If vvdiprog gives error “chip into connect”, please clean the pins of processor, then retry again.
UPA requires TMS370 adapter as well.
UPA can read following tms series: TMS375c006TMS370cx36, TMS370cx42, TMS370cx0x, TMS370cx5x
Example: Reading Opel TMS370 with UPA Programmer
It is a cheap and dedicated programmer for TMS370.
It is the most useful tools to program the TI TMS Microcontroller EEPROM (TMS370CX6X, TM370CX5X, TMS370CX4X, TMS375C006);
