However it does support ISP, so the software may contain a bootloader that reads code from USB and writes it to the flash, although this is a terrible way of doing it from flash endurance standpoint. 8051s are Harvard architecture (separate code/data) and looking at the datasheet, this particular model doesn't have any special boot-from-USB functionality (unlike e.g. I don't have the programming adapter needed to connect to the microcontroller and reprogram it, and it's very likely that the flash is locked, preventing it from being read. If anyone has any more information they can provide on this programmer, or is willing to experiment on one they own, it would be very helpful.

As far as the software on the computer goes, all that is necessary to work with the programmer is to interface to the Silicon Labs USB driver included with the manufacturer's programming software. I'm not sure, but I'm assuming that all of the *.stg files are actually code for the microcontroller, and are uploaded to it through the USB interface when the selected device changes. On a hunch, I decided to disassemble one of the *.stg files, specifically TestExe.stg, included with the programming software (which can be downloaded from the company's website: It's in Chinese, so it might be hard to navigate) using a disassembler for the 8051, and it appears to contain some code used to test the functionality of the microcontroller. It controls a CPLD and several shift registers, open collector buffers, and discrete transistors to manipulate the pins of the socket. From a quick look at the board, the entire programmer is controlled by a c8051f340 microcontroller, which is connected to the USB port. I have one of these programmers, and can tell you that while the software is definitely lacking features, including ones mentioned as part of the sales pitch, I think it has a lot of potential to be one of the most useful programmers available for under $60 if the exact way it works can be determined, and if new software were written to take advantage of it.
