Hmm. So I got the clip from Ali, and suspect I'm still doing something wrong. Flashrom says: ``` Couldn't open device 1a86:5512. Error: Programmer initialization failed.``` The PSU is disconnected from the mains, and the CMOS battery is out, but when I connect the clip LEDs light up on the...

Ok thanks. Starting to make sense now. So we need to connect to pins 1,2,7,8,9,10,15,16 on the chip to 1-8 on the 25XX “half”, right?

happy to get the right one. will https://amzn.eu/d/fpi8ac1 Do the job? if not, could you be kind enough to provide a link, ideally for a UK supplier? (Amazon is fine :))

Thanks, although I'm not sure what to do with this information :( The clamp I currently have (and is pictured above) is This one Do I need Something like : THIS instead?

I guess I'm being dumb, but with the BMC dead, I don't know how to startup this motherboard. If there's a way to startup the motherboard, please let me know :). When I apply power it comes up with the FPGA CRC fault LED on, and nothing will cause it to power up further than that.... The SOIC16...

Yes CPU is fine (checked in another Mobo). Going to try ch341a when the SOIC16 clip turns up from Amazon later today...... Do I need to be worried about voltage levels, or can I just stick the SOIC16 clip into the ch341a straight, and let flashrom do it's thing?

Nothing that's in a great state :(. The FPGA CRC LED is lit up on the board. But it might be possible to push firmware over the serial port with flashrom or socflash? Before trying that though I'd like to be confident that I've wired up the serial/debug port properly and have the correct...

Hi - has anyone actually figured out which PINS are which on the BMI console header? I've been through all the combinations, and whilst several result in garbled output, I've not yet managed to get a usable console session. Background - fairly sure I've bricked the BMI firmware by loading the...
