The XPROG-m supports in-circuit or on-board programming of：
Motorola 68HC05 , 68HC08, 68HC11, 68HC(S)12 , HC912, MC9S12, MC9S12X
Texas Instruments TMS370 , MPC5xx, ST10Fxx, ATmega family MCU's
serial EEPROM's

XPROG-m programmer is fully upward-compatible hardware with XPROG programmer and have many additional features.

All supported devices are divided into "Software authorization" licenses. You can obtain authorization license only for these devices you are interested in.

NOTE:
UPA : Cannot read secured mcu / Xprog-m: Can read secured mcu 
UPA : must have knowledge to use with processor / Xprog-M: Must be good in soldering / desoldering

How to solve Kess V2 Bootloader adapter problems

Find a solution to fix Kess v2 clone bootloader adapter problems. Just put it here for sharing.

Device:
Kess v2 with ksuite 4.036 (China clone)

Symptom:
I am having problems with my bootloader adapter for Kess v2. Kess is reworked to 4.036 and works with OBD cable. I tried to use bootloader adapter and cable, but failed to read any ecu. I tried to connect EDC17CP14 (on the bench and without boot pin- obd mode on the bench), no luck with Kess (but my reworked Galletto worked with similar wiring ID + read OK).
I already checked the wiring in the cable connector- fixed some wires, but still nothing.
I think there may be something wrong in the bootloader unit.

4 steps to solve bootloader adapter problems:
Step 1- fixed the wiring
i fixed the wiring in the connector that goes into the bootloader module like in the picture (Ktag has the same) 4 wires were wrong in my connector.

Step 2- resoldered the mosfet
And I resoldered the mosfet (in the middle of the module- near the middle LED).

Step 3- read ECU without opening
I then got the power to the ecu. But it didnt read it, probably because I didn’t connect the boot pin (that needs to be soldered on the ecu pcb). I tried to read it without opening, because I borrowed the ecu.

Step 4- opened the ECU to read
So I finally got the time to test my bootloader module with all wiring (boot cable attached). Once I opened the ECU (edc17cp14) and connected the boot pin, I was able to succesfully Id and read the ECU.
Worked like a charm!

The main problem was the soldering of the mosfet transistor in the middle of bootloader pcb, and I remowed the extra wire that was on the other side of the pcb.

Hope this helps those with Kess V2 unit from China
