Indesit (Merloni)
Sky Prog Programmer for Indesit is the software for reading and programming the configuration zone (firmware - configuration, config), as well as the entire microcontroller memory in the ARCADIA and EVOII electronic modules of Indesit / Ariston washing machines.
The software consists of various functions (options) that can be purchased separately or together.
For details about each option, see the relevant sections:
This page provides a general description for all functions.
Sky Prog Programmer is installed on a computer and works independently of the Internet.
The program allows you to read / write to the internal EEPROM and / or FLASH memory, which is located inside the microcontroller, as well as external EEPROM (a separate memory chip).
There is a demo version of the program. Distributed without restrictions. Download and try the program on your computer.
Features of Sky Prog for Indesit/Ariston (Merloni):
- MERLONI BRANDED PROGRAMMER-KEY IS NOT REQUIRED to connect the computer and the module;
- Read/Write the microcontroller configuration zone (FREESCALE & RENESAS) of the Indesit Arcadia platform;
- Reading and program the entire flash memory of the microcontroller (FREESCALE 60 kb) of the Indesit Arcadia platform;
- Program the entire flash memory of the microcontroller (RENESAS RX130/RX210/RX115) of the Indesit Arcadia platform;
- Show error statistics;
- Built ARCADIA & EVOII firmware database;

An additional benefit of the software is:
Read/Write EVOII platform configuration zone;
Error statistics ARCADIA 1, 2, 3, WINDY (for washing machines, dishwashers, ovens);
EVO II error statistics (for washing machines);
Help for deciphering ARCADIA and EVO II error codes (by pressing F1) is included.
Hardware (programming device).
To connect the electronic module to a computer, need a programming devices.
For the EP function, it is proposed to connect a computer to the module via a COM port (RS232, Serial port) or via a USB port.
For the RS function, a USB-UART converter (USB-COM) is required as an adapter, it can be used on various chips:
The USBDM function requires a USBDM programmer:
Examples when need to program a module:
- When installing a new unconfigured module or configured, but not for the desired model;
- When installing a used module on a product of another model;
- When replacing the microcontroller;
- When replacing the FLASH memory of the microcontroller;
- In case of software failure / damage to the internal or external EEPROM.
The program has been tested on operating systems:
- WindowsXP;
- Windows Vista;
- Windows 7;
- Windows 10.
