What is ProgSkeet barebone PCB ?
ProgSkeet is your one and only solution to your flashing needs. Whether it is NAND, NOR or any other kind of non-volatile memory – just solder, plug in and operate!
Progskeet
Blazing fast read/write speed!
Beside software-side updates, you can also expect hardware updates powered by customer requests!
With a broad range of applications, such as EEPROM programming (among others: Altera, Lattice FPGA/CPLD), Bad flash recovery, more commonly known as “Unbricking” (Modems, video cards, cell phones, music players) and plain serial programming (manufacture of your own device).

Industrial programmers often range in the EUR 1000+ range with limited customer support. ProgSkeet – NAND and NOR reader/writer can compete with these programmers all the while maintaining low cost!
And always remember – for accuracy and speed, choose ProgSkeet!
ProgSkeet can be updated by JTAG for further improvement. Rather than develop a new programmer, we decided to simply adapt it to Injectus (which the Infectus team made some time ago), of which we recently acquired a big stock.
The ProgSkeet is gaining quite a bit of steam over the last few days, and many of you might have ignored it due to the some what intensive solder job required for the install. Well noobs have no fear, it seems a solderless version is in the works, and a video has been posted below:
As a reminder ProgSkeet primarily can be used for downgrading/fixing brick consoles and in the future will most likely be the key to bringing custom firmware support on newer offical firmwares. The video above shows a 360 motherboard, but the chip is universal for consoles so you can pretend that the picture is a PS3 and serves the same purpose.
To quote:
I would like to add one thing, in case you haven’t noticed: it’s not about the speed, that train’s long gone.no, this time around we have the SOLDERLESS CLIP attached to the NAND.sure, it has wires soldered to it but this is just because there is flex pcb yet to connect to progskeet ,once it’s all tested and flex pcb is designed, this will be 100% solderless .
And also there are more diagram, and program changes – to quote:
DIAGRAM Changes:
03/08/2011
- Removed DualNandNew.bmp (this is for prototype, sorry)
- Added Dual NAND diagram (with the switch), read below for instructions.
02/08/2011
- Added new NAND/Dual NAND diagram. Power up the console with the switch set to “off”. When the console is on, you can switch it to “on”.
FLASHER Changes:
110802
- Added more selections to Block Count (bigger NANDs)
110803
- Fixed: issue with “Test Shorts” – ONLY USE THIS WHEN PROGSKEET IS NOT CONNECTED TO ANY DEVICE!!! OTHERWISE IT GIVES FALSE POSITIVE!!!
My kudos for Pirate and posting this news. and my kudos to uf6667, im going to buy the solderless version when comes out. But i dunno which chip/mod website trust to place the order, cause i live in Argentina and some sites ships worlwide but i’ve seen some negative review.
