✨ NAME ✨

IMSProg_database_update, okay, this is the IMSProg programmer chip database update script 🧚

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

IMSProg_database_update

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so, IMSProg is a QT-based GUI app and literally the main character of chip programmers πŸ‘‘ It handles I2C, MicroWire, and SPI EEPROM/Flash chips for CH341a, CH347t, and FT232h devices. It's a free EEPROM programmer tool for the CH341A device, built on QhexEdit2 and a modified take on SNANDer πŸ’…

IMSProg is made of three executable modules, bestie:

  1. IMSProg, the chip programmer itself πŸ”₯
  2. IMSProg_editor, the chip database editor 🌸
  3. IMSProg_database_update, the online chip database updater that pulls from an external web server πŸ¦‹

So IMSProg_database_update runs on the zenity graphical Gnome utility 🌈 Once it starts, it copies the downloaded database into the ~/.local/imsprog folder. Then it shows you how many chips were in the database before and after the upgrade. Iconic glow-up energy ✨
