i tried it with HighSierra beacuse i have an installation stick but start from external SSD with HighSiera shows the prohibition sign.
Installation USB with High Sierra the same
I checked now all landing pads from the 2 nands in diode mode, they are all with the values in the openboard data
now i soldered the original back, run dfu revive, in this moment when it will write on the nands it is restarting (can see in amp meter
5V 250mA
then load the software
unzip the...
now i got a good 820-2020 board
i soldered the 2tb NANDs out from the problem board and directly in the good board.
nothing changed, all procedures the same
in dfu comes the progress bar and seems all good
so what the hell is in the board. is it possible that the nand power is bad from one of...
i swapped the nands and chose the 2TB version. i have done this many times but with this device i always get 4013 as an error in the dfu. the position is correct, i have checked this by desoldering and reading, the content is also exactly the same as the source file.
Then I soldered the...
ok, yes right.
By the way. I have the same model where the client needs the data.
if i transplant the ssd in same position from the (client with data) to this board. after this brisge os (revive) will i can read the data out?
can have this sucess?
using restore i get the Error 0xFAD 4013, found theat:
4013 / 6 - errors indicate bad NAND Sysconfig or wrong position.
that means for me i have to solder out the nands and flash with p13 the firmware, solder back and try then with DFU to flash the bridge OS
is that logical for you?
got this A2338 with the exclamation mark after the start
So i forced it in to the DFU mode
1. download system ok
2. copy ok
3. extrract ok

820-3481
i checked the 820-3299 because i think no one has the 3481
J4500 has only SATA_SSD lines. so thats the reason isnt it? but may be the 3481 accept nvme?
and the 820-3299 has in the schematic a 1155 socket but my board 820-3481 has a 1150 socket. in the socket is the SR14D i5-4670
but...
