Maybe change the program inside and add the reset/clear commando.
Only don't know where connect the *CS signal.
remember the CS is a bit register, that is accesed through SPI..

I have a rasberry pi, and my dad has an arduino. I don't have a bricked 3DS, but if we could somehow check if SPI still works without damaging one, I could use my legit working 3ds.
We are sort of stuck right now, because no one here has an arduino and a bricked 3ds, so its imposible for us to test if SPI still works or it was disabled completly... its pointless to write a lot of code which can work with SPI, and then later find out that it doesnt works and have to rewrite most of it to work with a different mode.
My arduino will arrive tomorrow, but I don't know anything about it yet. Maybe someone can instruct me what to do.
considering jochem77 is getting a new arduino and I would have to borrow it from my father, Im not sure I should risk my 3ds XL. I want to help, I'm just not confident I won't screw something up, or provide inaccurate information.
I'm at work right now, Ill do some more practice when I get home.
Edit: Alternatively, I could just use 2.0b2 on my 3DS xl (which I purchased last week to use) to try to install eShop titles, and If I brick I could do this.
The problem is I'm not entirely confident with my soldering skills, and testing the eMMC on a working console doesn't seem like the best idea to me. Best case scenario is that someone could get someone with good experience a bricked console to test on. Maybe a fundraiser or something? couldn't be more then $40 or $50 for a bricked XL.
I apologize for offering then weaseling.
just did a quick ebay and this popped up. $25 at the current bid, bidding is over in an hour. might be worth watching. Unfortunately, its a normal one, not an XL.
ask in some local repair shops...even a dead motherboard should be ok for testing
Edit 2: Noob Statement here! Has anyone considered that Gateway left themselves a software-based backdoor for this brick so it doesn't require opening up the system and soldering to fix? They probably didn't leave such a thing, but it would have made repairs and development on the brick a lot easier for them, if such a thing is possible.
You have a bricked 3ds ?
Do you have a broken device or something with a small mobo or pcb ? try soldering on that first, most of the device's motherboard also have small points used for testing it while manufacturing, so you can try your soldering skills on that...
yep
I have an old VGA cart and a very old mobile phone I can practise on.
Ohh, then if you get your arduino, you can help us to test some stuffs on it.
