For all intents and purposes, yes

À toutes fins utiles, ou

They should be interchangeable

I installed Picofly RP2040 on multiple OLEDs, on this one that I'm working on it takes about 2 minutes to glitch. The glitch is successful afterwards, but why does it take so long on this particular switch?

I'm getting more and more confused about some "bricks" that have happened because of the modchips like something is semiblown...

Maybe it's best to have the battery unplugged and try to start the switch a couple of times before you try to mod? Or is the Switch parts really weak to ESD?

u can reset the training data in pico_toolbox
the more u start the switch the faster the glitches get

what emmc does this particular switch have?

it seems to be inconsistent, I've had a couple times where it glitches within 2 seconds, and then it goes back to 2 minutes. I don't know which emmc, I put the cover back on, but I'll try to reset the training data.

Experienced at soldering but first time ever micro soldering. RP2040 board went extremely smoothly but I just spent 4 hours messing with the mosfets and I could not for the life of me connect the two mosfets together, can't get the wire to stick well enough exactly where I want it to. Using 28AWG copper enamel wire on the mosfets. Honestly considering giving up on the mosfets and getting some bigger ones that won't be a royal PIA to do.

Hope this will fit well between APU and ram under the shield and work also
Mosfet one the down left corner, already grounded. So only one wire to the cap is needed with the "MD" Pad.
Right side is to cut away.

PCB in progress?

Yes ordered a few samples from jlcpcb. Waiting for them to arrive.

flux, 30-36awg, pre-tin things.

or use the flex

When do you know when you need to use 2 mosfets instead of 1?

People have had luck with one, but two is recommended and is what the flex cables have.

I have a Toshiba emmc. flashed toshiba 2.5 fix then flashed 2.6

I have a Toshiba emmc. flashed toshiba 2.5 fix then flashed 2.6

flash the newest firmware 2.65

 

[GodzKratos]

flash the newest firmware 2.65

flashed the 2.65 firmware after rebooting the switch tried to check the firmware of the picofly but stops at reading firmware info. still has the same error and cannot launch the emummc cfw

hello guys, i've install a picofly on OLED switch, it boot ok into HEKATE but when i try to create emuMMC go in EMMC INIT ERROR, if i try to start OFW it go in PURPLE SCREEN (kernel panic).
so i've removed picofly, install an HWFLY and everything gone fine... and also OFW boot normally...
what can be?

i've tried FW versione 2.61 and 2.65, same result
i've put 47 Ohm resistor (on point A,C,D)

EMMC is SK hynix

let me know if i can provide some info to make a better firmware

Hello guys, I did a test with 2.5 works fine, with 2.65 I get kernel panic and purple screen,

Now I’m quite sure is related to some problem with the 2.65 firmware…

Some cold soldering? Or not a good signal from the CPU, try to use better cable from cpu…

try one of the firmwares from 2.64 back to 2.61
if you still have an issue then maybe try the flash nuke
