Hi Ididon
"could not ID the on board chip"
Common causes of this error are:

If you have any e-blocks connected to the EB-006 when you are trying to program it can cause this problem.
Not every e-block will do it, and also not on every device.
Suggest you try programming with nothing connected to the D-Sockets. I tend to disconnect the eblocks before programming as a matter of course.

If its not this you could have the wrong device selected in flowcode.

Have you installed the usb drivers correctly

It could be a fauly PIC, have you tried a different device?

If you are still having problems let us know and see what else we can suggust

Did you fit only one chip on the board in one of the sockets between the double row connectors?

Something else, I would upgrade flowcode to the latest version in the 5 series. (Use 'check for updates' in the 'Help' menu. The latest version is 5.5)

Hi Ididon,
Also can you check that ICD2/USB jumper is on USB and PSU/USB jumper is on PSU

There are some devices that you won't be able to program unless using a different programmer or even require an extra supply connection to one of its pins.

What target device have you got on your EB006?

Thank you for your answers but I still have the problem.
I updated flowcode (5.5 version)
It works with the EB-006-00-8 cards but not with a EB-006-00-6 card I ordererd and received later.
I selected the same positions for the jumpers, I have exchanged the processors (PIC 16F88) but il still does not work (could not identify the on board chip) with the EB-006-00-6 card.
the difference beetween the cards seems to be the PPP, is it a hint ?

Regards.
