This is a home project for a simple parallel EEPROM programmer based on Raspberry PI (model 3). It currently supports 28C16 (2Kx8), 28C64 (8Kx8) and 28C256 (32Kx8) EEPROMs, but it will probably work with all 28C-family (having all the necessary address-bus pins).
The need of model 3 of Raspberry is only for the number of usable GPIOs (but it may be possible to save a lot of pins using serial-to-parallel shift registers for the address bus). The different voltages between Raspberry GPIOs (3.3V) and EEPROM pin (5V) is managed by a TXS0108 (8-bit bidirectional voltage-level translator). The software currently supports single-byte reads/writes, write operation is followed by hard-coded delay to complete a write cycle.
Schematics and PCB layouts are designed with ExpressPCB free CAD software.
The software is written in C and uses WiringPI for GPIO access, and the GNU Getopt function to automate the parsing of command-line options.
Below is the list of options with the relative allowed params, as shown in the help:
Warn! The software, in this release, does not check the value of the parameters, be careful.
