Highly specialized, hyper-focused on EC programming and keyboard testing. It features the fastest software updates for new motherboard layouts and an incredibly intuitive pin-mapping interface.
For example, when working on modern laptops that use complex USB-C Power Delivery (PD) controllers or newer embedded ICs that require post-soldering firmware flashing, specialized programming tools—and the expansion capabilities of systems like Vertyanov and SVOD—become absolutely indispensable.

| Feature | Vertyanov JIG | Vertyanov Successor | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Requires a separate base board (e.g., Base3) for operation. | Integrated design; no separate base board needed. | | User Interface | Uses the same or similar software shell as the Successor. | Uses the same or similar software shell as the JIG. | | Chip Compatibility | Supports NPCE, KB90xx, ITE, MEC, and more. | Supports the same broad range, and likely newer chips. | | PCB Versions | Has multiple revisions (e.g., 3.1, 3.2, 3.3). | Available in at least "BASE2" configuration. | | Physical Design | Components may be on both sides of the PCB. | Often features a more modern, integrated design. | Why the Successor is Essential for Technicians |
: A standard 8MB BIOS chip can be written in approximately 28 seconds and verified in 10 seconds . | Uses the same or similar software shell as the JIG
Unlike previous models, the Successor (particularly Base 3/4 versions) is designed to handle grounding automatically
I’ve provided a few options depending on the context (hiring, transition, or project handoff).
