v2.74 has glitch speed improvements (offset randomization, more MHz)

Dirty RST line, it's very sensitive. Please clean flux
Can I update the firmware from 2.67 directly to 2.74 through the toolbox? No upgrade to previous versions.

Should we use fw_xx.bin or update.bin to update? Because the guide says that we should use the full firmware... So what is it the update.bin for?

you should use the fw_xx.bin when updating via usb and update.bin in the root of the sd card when updating via picofly_toolbox

Ended up accidentally breaking the capacitor with the red arrow to the left. What is that capacitor so I can order a replacement? thanks

This is great.
A problem with Toshiba nand taking a long time to start up has been resolved.
Yup, just tried it on 2 unit v2 all toshiba nand, at least after a few reboot the glitch only took 3s. On 2.72 it took randomly but mostly long.
Thank to rehius for this update.

First boots are slow, try 20 times for statistics

2.67 doesnt support i2c, since it works, you can desolder it


with v2.74 and sda/scl attached, directly after updating:
attempt #1: 120s
attempt #2: no boot
attempt #3: 33s
attempt #4: 3s
attempt #5: 14s
attempt #6: 41s
attempt #7: 14s
attempt #8: 49s
attempt #9: 6s
attempt #10: 80s
attempt #11: 97s
attempt #12: 10s

attempt #15: no boot
attempt #16: 1s
attempt #17: 3s
attempt #18: no boot
attempt #19: 59s
attempt #20: 146s

same switch rollbacked to v2.67, directly after rollback:
attempt #1: 12s
attempt #2: 3s
attempt #3: 4s
attempt #4: 4s
attempt #5: 3s
attempt #6: 4s
attempt #7: 3s

Try 2.74 without sda/scl, you don't need it since 2.67 boots fine

i don't feel like opening this switch up again but i'd assume it would behave the same as 2.67

hello, I have looked for an alternative point for the 3.3 v in v2, and I have only found in the nand, does anyone know of another that is not as complicated as the capacitor?
There no caps on nand point.
V2 for reference.
V2 is the easiest, Lite harder, OLED maybe ill try next, V1 haven't met any V1 yet.

2.74 w/o i2c
What would the changes we should expect from this?
