It shouldn't matter as long as it says to be compatible to SPI 25 series. There were reports about bad batches of every kind (e.g. wrong voltage regulator), FWIW. So there's always a risk. I would pick one with a location in Europe (i.e. not China) so you don't wait weeks and then realize you got a bad one. I have one with a black board btw. that works fine. As you asked for a German shop below, here[1] is a more expensive alternative to the CH341A. 5x the cost, up to 15x the speed (and can also work as a USB debugging device with coreboot; needs another TTL level UART for the other end, though). > > Which cables do you recommend?

Work for me but I can't say if they are any better than random ones from eBay. For the latter search for `10cm dupont female-female` (Buchse-Buchse). Hope that helps, Nico [1] https://www.elv.de/elv-highspeed-mini-usb-modul-um-ft2232h-komplettbausatz.html Also needs a Mini-B (not the popular Micro-B) USB cable in case you don't have a spare one.
