What's that chip ? Do i need to flash it or something ?

[linkref]

Hi guys,

I've bought this chip, does someone know it : https://ibb.co/3SwcSQ0 ?
I installed it but nothing happens, no LED activity, switch boots straight to OFW.

To make sure my installation was correct I tried with a regular hwfly and it boot to hekate.

The chip is brand new, do i need to flash it or something ? What's thoses BOOT and RESET buttons ?

Thanks !

connect it to PC and place the latest FW in that drive.
Many of them come empty.

Is it a hwfly? Else try with picofly

I flashed this :
https://github.com/Ansem-SoD/Picofly/blob/main/Firmwares/Archived/fw_2.72.uf2

Yellow light when flash ends.

On switch :

Switch boot on nintendo logo --> black screen --> nintendo logo again

No light on

then it's probably not a picofly. Check with the people you bought it from

it's a rp2040-lite so I assume it's a pico

Thas is a picofly. Same as Hwfly but with RP2040.

Should work ? But switch is on bootloop now :'( on nintendo logo... I assume something might be wrong with the chip or bad flashing from my end

Remove only the chip and then make some close up fotos.
You cant mess up the flashing, copy/paste

Aren't you the same person who fried his chip earlier?

Be careful where you place the chip because your metal cover can press those buttons resulting in a bootloop.

the speaker should protect the buttons, don´t think it´s that. But if he placed the chip on the speaker then yes

The edge of the over is not fully flushed to ground level. You will definitely have the cover sitting on top of the button.

You need to hold down the boot button and insert the usb cable and copy the firmware
