[Request] Which Programmer for HM170/QM170?

[Request] looking for an SPI Flash Programmers that work with Mobile Intel 100 Series Chipsets HM170 and QM170?

looking for an SPI Flash Programmers that will work with both eSPI/SPI
but that doesn’t cost too much

the device is Lenovo ideapad Y700-17ISK MT 80Q0

Which way is best to solve this?
need to edit the EC file in some way
because there is currently a mismatch against UEFI / BIOS

EDIT by Fernando: Thread title shortened

CH341A ($2.50 on ebay + More $$ elsewhere, but faster shipping) + SOIC8 test clip cable ($3.50 on ebay, also available other places for more $$/faster shipping)

Okay will take a look at that if what should work

Yes, should be fine, I’ve not seen any issue with chipset vs programmer, all that matters is the actual BIOS ID / BIOS chip
I forgot to ask previously, not sure what “eSPI” is?

Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface Bus (eSPI), a synchronous serial communication protocol
there is more information about eSPI on Wikipedia but then the post had become an unnecessarily very long post
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface

don’t know if I am allowed to link directly to pdf remove the hyperlink to the pdf files

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/…heet-vol-1.html<–area to read the same pdf file without downloading the pdf itself
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/pu…sheet-vol-1.pdf<–cover the SPI/eSPI areas and also a lot more areas inside HM170 chipset
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/suppor…n_rev1.0_cb.pdf<–pdf eSPI and for Client and Server Platforms
