Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
Can these adapters power the target motherboard during programming?
The adapters can provide VCC to the target ISP header, but this is typically only sufficient for powering the SPI flash device, not the entire motherboard. External power may be required depending on the application.
-
What is the maximum insertion cycle rating for these connectors?
The connectors are rated for over 1000 insertion cycles under normal use conditions. Professional development environments with frequent connections should expect excellent durability.
-
How do I identify the correct pin 1 orientation on the motherboard?
Intel ISP headers typically have a pin 1 marker (square pad or dot) and the adapter connector is keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Always consult the motherboard manual for ISP header location and pinout.
-
Are these adapters compatible with third-party programming software?
The adapters provide hardware connectivity only. Software compatibility depends on the Dediprog programmer used. Dediprog's own software supports all programmer models, whilst third-party support varies.
-
Do I need the Quad IO variants for standard SPI flash programming?
Standard single-wire SPI programming works with all variants. Quad IO variants (C/C2) are only necessary when using 4-wire SPI communication for faster programming speeds on compatible flash devices.
-
What cable length is provided with the ISP-ADP-Intel adapters?
All variants feature an 8cm cable length, providing sufficient reach for typical motherboard ISP headers whilst maintaining signal integrity for reliable programming operations.
-
Can I use the adapter for programming external SPI flash devices?
Yes, the adapters work with any target board featuring a compatible Intel-style 2×10 ISP header, not just motherboards. This includes development boards and custom PCBs with Intel-compatible ISP interfaces.
-
Do these adapters work with non-Intel motherboards?
These adapters are specifically designed for Intel motherboard ISP headers using Samtec ASP-159358 series connectors. Compatibility with other motherboard manufacturers depends on their ISP connector specification.
-
What is the difference between numbered variants (A vs A2, B vs B2)?
The numbered variants (A2, B2, C2) are updated revisions with improved connector reliability and enhanced signal integrity. Functionally, they are equivalent to their non-numbered counterparts.
-
Which ISP-ADP-Intel variant do I need for my Dediprog programmer?
Variant selection depends on your programmer model: A/A2 for SF100, B/B2 for SF600/SF600Plus, and C/C2 for EM100Pro series. The C/C2 variants also support SF600 series with Quad IO capability.
