Universal MCU & Memory Programmer

Your Device,
Your Rules.

The world's first user-defined programmer. One tool to read, write, clone and repair the microcontrollers and memory chips inside modern vehicles.

What it is

One bench tool for MCUs and memory chips

HULKPROG is a professional universal programmer built for automotive electronics, ECU and module repair, and bench-level chip work. In a single tool it reads, writes, clones and repairs microcontrollers and memory chips — EEPROM, Flash and serial memories — across dozens of families from every major silicon manufacturer.

Where most tools lock you into a fixed device list, HULKPROG is user-defined: you choose the target, the interface and the workflow. Read a donor, write a replacement, virginize a module, or recover a bricked chip.

Hardware

Built for real bench work

  • Universal ZIF socket

    Drop-in programming for DIL-packaged chips — no soldering required.

  • ISP / ICSP header

    Colour-coded in-system pins to read & write chips on the board, without desoldering.

  • UART interface

    Serial communication for boot-mode and single-wire programming protocols.

  • Status indicators

    Dedicated POWER, BUSY, UART and ISP LEDs for clear, real-time feedback.

  • USB connection

    Plug-and-play link to the PC software, self-powered for stable operation.

  • Adapter-ready

    Optional socket adapters for SOIC, TSOP, QFP and BGA packages.

What it does

Core programming functions

Everything a read/write job needs, on one board.

  • Read / DumpFull backup of Flash, EEPROM and configuration areas
  • Write / ProgramFlash new firmware or calibration data
  • VerifyBit-perfect confirmation after writing
  • EraseFull or sector erase
  • Blank CheckConfirm a chip is empty before writing
  • Auto Chip IDAutomatic detection of the connected device
  • ChecksumIntegrity validation of the data
  • Config / Fuse bitsRead and edit protection & configuration registers
  • OTP supportOne-time-programmable device handling
  • ISP on-boardDump and program without removing the chip

On the job

Purpose-built for the modern workshop

  • ECU & TCU bench work — read and write P-Flash / D-Flash on engine and transmission control units (PowerPC, TriCore, Renesas).
  • Immobilizer & security modules — read/write EEPROM on immo, BCM and KVM units.
  • Module cloning & replacement — read a donor module, write a matched replacement.
  • Virgin file writing — flash clean/virgin data to a replacement BCM/KVM.
  • Instrument cluster repair — read and restore EEPROM after a dashboard swap.
  • Bricked chip recovery — rebuild a damaged memory from a good dump.
  • Tuning file access — read and write Flash for calibration and remapping.

Why HULKPROG

Your device, your rules

  • One tool, thousands of chips — memories and MCUs from Atmel, NXP, Renesas, ST, Infineon, TI, Microchip and more.
  • In-socket and on-board — ZIF for loose chips, ISP for chips still on the PCB.
  • Built for the bench — fast, stable and clear, with real-time status feedback.
  • User-defined — you decide the target, the interface and the workflow.
