Great job! Thanks to god a213m.
I followed your instructions to create a board with all the stuff connected. However, the RW tool can detect my Arduino, but they cannot find the DIMM. Sometimes, the EEPROM is found, but it immediately disconnects. I have checked all the connections and confirmed that they are correct.

Did you build it on a breadboard? Make sure all connections are solid. Sounds like poor connections, especially since EEPROM detection is inconsistent.

SMBus hotfix: 20231214
  • Fixed: False RAM type detection
This fixes some RAM being falsely detected as DDR5 due to some RGB controllers being improperly recognized as PMICs.
To use, extract the archive contents into directory where you have SPD-RW 20231210 located, overwriting the old dll file.

Re: My Arduino-based RAM SPD reader/writer (free and open source) 2023/12/15 05:42:58 (permalink)
problem solved. The RSWP function was enabled by turning on the "SMBus RSWP support" in the settings.
However, a question arises: How does the RSWP clear function work? Can I simply short +9V and SA0 to activate the function?

Second SMBus hotfix in a row: 20231217

SMBus hotfix #2

  • Fixed: Errors 0x00000005 (Access is denied) and 0x000001B1 (A device which does not exist was specified), when running multiple instances of SPD-RW
Requires: 20231210 + 20231214
 
With this fix you should be able to run multiple instances of SPD-RW SMBus sessions with no issues.

Major discovery.
 
If your DDR5 is RSWP protected, you can use SPD-RW to clear DDR5 write protection via SMBus on some Asus motherboards.
 

 
To do that, you'll need to install one memory stick into slot A1. Then locate MR_TEST2 header and short its pins with a jumper.
On my Z790 Hero board it is located between ATX power connector and PD_12V_PWR connector:
 

 
Then launch SPD-RW as admin, enable SMBus RSWP support in settings, connect to your SMBus and click Clear RSWP:
 

 
Result:

If your DDR5 is RSWP protected

Hello! What about partial protection? Thaiphoon burner killed SPD of my RAM, i have Crucial PRO 64GB Kit, second stick is okay. I just pressed Read, then black screen, this screenshot was taken before. Can i rewrite SPD with your adapter?

You can rewrite SPD via SMBus. Just read SPD from working DIMM and overwrite to your corrupted DIMM.
You don't need an adapter, unless the corrupted sections are within write protected blocks.

I tried to rewrite with ASUS OCtool and Asus Z790 Prime mobo, but mobo couldn't start with two sticks, so i think, i need an external adapter, to copy SPD from working stick. Or i can do it by another method? I know only that method, and it's not worked for my case.

Install working DIMM in primary RAM slot, and put you corrupted DIMM in a different channels slot. The motherboard should POST, ignoring the non-working DIMM, but it will still be accessible via SMBus, allowing you to overwrite its SPD.
 
If it doesn't POST, cover all non SPD contacts with a tape, just leave contacts 1-6 on one side, and contacts 145-151 on the other side exposed. This will prevent CPU from communicating with DRAM chips, and will leave DIMM exposed to SMBus only.
 
If that won't work, you'll need to build an Arduino programmer.

Okay, i will try it tommorow! First variant doesn't work for me, mobo doesn't post with two sticks. Regular tape? Or kapton thermotape? And what soft can read and write from SMBus? Can i fully copy (2 XMP profiles, and 2 EXPO from working DIMM)? My motherboard is Asrock B650i Lightning Wi-Fi.

Any non conductive tape should work, as long as it is strong enough and not too thick to prevent the module from being inserted.
 
As long as you are able to fully copy SPD, your XMP and EXPO profiles will be copied as well.
 
AM5 boards are confirmed to be supported by SPD-RW.

Unfortunately, this method doesn't work, i isolated all pins, except 1-6, 145-151, speakers beeps 3 times. So i need to build Arduino Programmer? Will it help to me, i think Thaiphoon Burner flushed SPD data, when i pressed read button, then only black screen with that stick of ram :(

Restoring SPD should revive your RAM, if corrupted SPD contents is the only issue preventing it from working. At this point seems like building Arduino programmer is all you have left, if you don't have another motherboard to try.

Re: My Arduino-based RAM SPD reader/writer (free and open source) 2024/02/01 16:52:52 (permalink)
Sure, here's what mine looks like. I built it on a breadboard. DDR5 adapter is on the left, DDR4 is on the right.
 


The LEDs are added for VHV and SA1 visual monitoring, they are not part of the original schematic.
 
Here's an older version I built for a forum member a while ago, it supports DDR4 only and differs significantly from current design.

Hello! I flashed and launched the latest SPD-RW. The same thing.
Maybe I assembled the diagram incorrectly? Although this should not affect the definition of Arduino in the program.
P.S. The arduino is serviceable!

That is possible, even bare Arduino won't get detected, it will get stuck at resetPins() line in the setup() procedure. To bypass that, replace resetPins() with resetPinsInternal() on line 167 and reflash the Arduino. If it is detected after that, check your circuit again.

I need a bit more info on your setup. Do you have any RAM connected, what type? The log shows you can connect, but RSWP is disabled, because it either doesn't see any RAM or high voltage feedback isn't set up properly. If you used different config pins that the ones suggested, you'll need to edit SpdReaderWriterSettings.h file before flashing.
 
After connecting, show your device info. Click Device > Info.

4GB DDR4 test memory. I do everything according to your scheme. I use arduino nano on ATmega328P.  Maybe for your circuit, you need Atmega168P? This is my first time working with Arduino. The output HV_EN at the time of initialization is 2.3 v, at the 1st leg of the optocoupler is 1.8 V. The resistance is 330 ohms. The optocoupler does not turn on. accordingly, on HV_FB - 0. Optocoupler PC817.

Re: My Arduino-based RAM SPD reader/writer (free and open source) 2024/02/14 01:14:36 (permalink)
Your voltages are way off. At idle HV_EN should be near 0V, the optocoupler's collector (pin 4) should be near 9V, and its emitter (pin 3) should be at 0V. Even when HV_EN is high, it should be either near 5V, or 3.3V, depending on model used.
 
Have you tried another optocoupler or a different Arduino board? (Either ATmega328P or Atmega168P based boards are fine.)
 
Remove the optocoupler first, and check the voltage at the HV_EN pin first. If voltages are still abnormal, you might need to replace your Arduino board.
 
Then apply 5V output to the optocoupler's current limiting resistor (R3) and check the voltage at its emitter. If it is still at 0V, the optocoupler doesn't turn on and needs to be replaced.
