I have a new issue with my switchme. I used to be able to get it to show in windows explorer like clockwork to switch UF2s but now it seems like there's something possible wrong.
Idk what deal is... Half the time I have to go to device manager and scan for hardware changes in there on my Port stuff. Sometimes it pops right up though. Could give that a try though.

it used to be I boot into horizon click the button a certain amount of time ( which I know still works because i can see the different blinking patterns) but still unrecognized device on all PCs I've tried

You need to use the SAMD21 update payload in OP or there is a "Reboot(Samd21 Upgrade)" option in the menu.

Libsys_lp0.bso is required.

@PSxed

Replaced:
1 x buck regulator
M92T36
M92T36 VSVR filter cap(pin 6)
M92T36 VCC-IN filter cap(pin 5)

Now booting. Further testing ongoing.

Cheers

Don’t do cheap usb-c cables kids
Yep lol!

I`m under orders to wait until our chief test engineer can do his stability test on it... (My son. He is 5. When its in the jig on test, the benchmark is getting to Cascade Kingdom in Odyssey he insists on doing it)

Haha i wish the little engineer good luck! Any idea if the following cable is safe: Amazon.co.uk? It's USB-IF certified so it has the 56k ohm resistor to work out the correct power level.

@mattytrog I recently installed an itsybitsy mod chip as described in your other thread. I hooked up 3v power, ground, and the 2 from usb. Have autorcm mode enabled "flashed" itsy perma cfw latest then itsy fusee uf2 latest. I copied fusee-primary.bin (for atmo 0.8.8) to sd root and named it payload.bin now i turn on the power and i have to press the reset button in order for the itsy to push the payload what have i missed

Yes thats the Part 1 - PERMA-CFW (modified UF2 bootloader) in the op l. Problem is it seems to always be on. Maybe its where i took my power from. I took it from one of the alternative point on the front of the board. Looking now i think it is the 4v one on the far left in you pic in the other thread

Ahhh... That would do it. Please connect to 3.3v point only. Either emmc, m92t36 capacitor

Hi Matty,

sorry to bother you again. I have the same problem like 1 wekk before. I have the switch of a fried and should update the modchip.
I can not get into uf2 mode no matter what fast or slow i double press the reset switch. I am starting the update mode from the switchboot.bin.
Could you please tell me where in the sources i find the code for the checks and going into uf2 mode that i can better understand maybe ?
I do not know what is so hard to get into uf2 mode but here it is not only a double press in 1s or faster or slower.
Is there a time windows which the modchip needs to shut off to try again or can i do it without waiting for all LEDs turned off for 20s?
Can the switch all the time be connected to pc when in samd21 update mode from switchboot or do i need to disconnect the switch between every try?

Try this:

  • Load up the Switchboot menu
  • Double-press RESET and ensure modchip LED is breathing
  • Boot something (ofw or whatever) and wait.
  • Let me know.

so after trying for 1:30h i got 1 working try with the old switchboot 1.0 version with the new installed latest version 1.4.1 i got it on the second try ;-) in 30sec

but tried both the same way

    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing

    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
