Adapter to plug a personality chip into an EEPROM/SPI Flash programmer such as the CH341A.

Parts needed for this:

• 2.54mm pitch male pin header
• 7x2P 2.54mm pitch card edge slot

This PCB is for custom personality chips used in R-series and BB-series droids from Galaxy’s Edge. It accepts both DIP-8 and SOIC-8 package SPI Flash memory chips.

Any SPI flash memory chip should work.

Confirmed working: Winbond W25Q16JVSNIQ (SOIC-8), Winbond W25Q32JVDAIQ (DIP-8)

All passive components are 0805, however 0603 should fit as well.

R33: 10k, R99: 10k, C42: 0.1uF, C44: 2pF

I’ve used 15pF capacitors for C44 without issue. I’ve also left it unpopulated and it worked as well. But stock, this capacitor is around 2-3pF.
