    Tutorial How to flash the HWFLY Clone chips

    how long was it between buying them and it breaking? I just assumed if it's more than a couple of months then aliexpress won't care

    Tutorial How to flash the HWFLY Clone chips

    I ended up soldering to the SWI bus and programming the stock firmware via stlink and it worked! then i got confident and tried to reinstall 7.2 with the stlink and proceeded to break everything. hello darkness my old friend. HWfly picofly rp2040 for me so i don't have to redo the flex ribbon cable.

    HwFly Clone with FPGA Solid White Light after flashing HWFLY 0.7.2

    Fair enough - i am an embedded systems engineer, i have a bag of about 15 different programmers, i'm glad i could use my cheap stlink for once. what i don't like is the clone of a clone / poor documentation, but what can one expect.

    HwFly Clone with FPGA Solid White Light after flashing HWFLY 0.7.2

    what. i said i was using a programmer before. you said that it's not possible to flash the device. i nearly stopped based on your response. ah, i see. thank you

    HwFly Clone with FPGA Solid White Light after flashing HWFLY 0.7.2

    Aaand it's fixed. programmed the attached firmware and bootloader through the four soldered wires schematic above via stlink. Back in hekate, everything lives. don't spread misinformation

    HwFly Clone with FPGA Solid White Light after flashing HWFLY 0.7.2

    I don't really understand, it's quite frustrating, the chip wasn't cheap. My plan is to follow this pinout and use a programmer to attempt a new firmware, only real question is i'm not sure which firmware

    Tutorial How to flash the HWFLY Clone chips

    I tried to update my V5 switch with firmware 0.7.2, then when the switch was one it would only go into OFW during which the hwfly LED was fully white. The usb breakout ribbon cable must have microfractures because it doesn't work properly so I was thinking of using my j link or stlink to update...

    HwFly Clone with FPGA Solid White Light after flashing HWFLY 0.7.2

    No, the SD card flex is fine. i can see in OFW it's all good. I guess i am being fooled in thinking this was official (the storefront did look like the 'official' one when i bought it). It was sold as V5 but the text 'Mv1-6' is confusing me, is this V6 or V5? I am thinking of digging out my J...

    HwFly Clone with FPGA Solid White Light after flashing HWFLY 0.7.2

    You're not wrong there - however it started acting up hence my last ditch effort at doing the risky thing. I was in between swapping /transferring microSDs and when done, on both SD cards, sometimes booting up would get into hekate, and mostly it would not, usually without the SD it'd say...

    HwFly Clone with FPGA Solid White Light after flashing HWFLY 0.7.2

    I have an official v5 and tried updating with 0.7.2, and it seems i'm too stuck on solid white. now when i try to plug the micro usb B in the computer, it says the usb device malfunctioned. is there anyway back to functionality or is this chip dead? I can still boot to OFW

    Opinion time: worth chipping a switch with missing peripherals?

    Yeah, i was worried if there was a point in the setup of hekate etc where you need the touchscreen but i just checked and it seems like I won't need it, so i think it's good to go.

    Opinion time: worth chipping a switch with missing peripherals?

    As the title alludes, I came into possession a very broken switch, after a lot of time bringing it back to life (the whole thing was bent in half about 5 - 10 degrees, all in pieces, no screws) I came to realise the digitiser never worked. I replaced the digitiser twice. Could never get it to...

    Hacking Sigpatches for Atmosphere (Hekate, fss0, fusee & package3)

    Sorry if this question is inappropriate. I'm trying to run the status monitor overlay, and I note that with the sigpatches from rentry, core 3 shoots to 100% when running the overlay, which makes the overlay unresponsive until reboot, or if I turn on flight mode. Similarly, if i turn on flight...

    Hardware Re-solder locations for two ripped pads of the main board game card reader port

    Hi, This is my first post here, I've lurked for some time and found the site really useful - now it's my turn to ask for some help. I've nearly finished fixing up this beast of a passion job - my friend gave me a bent switch. Now the final fix is proving to be the most difficult, the main...
