xobsbunnie is a machine. He just reworked a Fomu board, and now it works.  It's very very fragile, but the LED is blinking away.07:52

tntxobs: oh nice.  pics ? :p07:58
* xobs uploaded an image: image.png (468KB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/UsLRrphHupiMvICsxTyYHLXo >08:25
xobsGrain of rice for scale08:26
tntSo he removed the fpga, drilled out the pad I guess, then soldered a wire to the bga pad, then replaced the fpga ?08:28
xobsAlmost.  Used a wick to hollow out the pad, then put UV coating on top.  And he used a fresh FPGA afterwards.08:29
tntok. wow ...08:30
xobsSo there is now exactly one Fomu DVT board in the wild that works.08:39
xobs"works".  I still haven't gotten the SB_WARMBOOT function working.08:41
MadHackerxobs: Just saw his tweet about it. Neat job.08:44
MadHackerI see the board is still swimming in flux in the pic. :)08:45
MadHackerDid he use the normal UV-hardening photoresist stuff for capping the pad/via?08:45
xobsI believe so, yes.08:45
MadHackerI always struggle with patience with it; I use a UV laser for hardening it, and it's still a good 10+ seconds to harden up properly.08:48
MadHackerI've seen some really masterful work with that stuff though.08:49
futarisIRCcloudHow much is the replacement FPGA part?08:49
MadHackerAh yeah, bunnie had tweeted about the soldermark stuff previously actually. Repairing the actual CPU package on an iPhone 6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nap0gtds5tQ&feature=youtu.be&t=1m15s08:52
MadHackerfutarisIRCcloud: About £408:52
MadHackerCall it $5.50 or something.08:53
MadHackersoldermask not soldermark above. Brain no worky, it's early here. :)08:53
xobsI bought FPGAs off of Digikey.  They were expensive, but worth it.08:58

xobsOkay, so the "icemulti" example appears to work.  That's a good sign.09:01
xobsMadHacker: that's the one09:01

m_whow is the firmware going loaded onto the fomu in production? via test points?22:31
m_wcan they be reflashed, post-production if they are bricked?22:32
tntyes to all22:45
tntalthough I think making them 'unbrickable' is pretty high on the list :p22:46
m_wmaking them unbrickable is a challenge unless the flash has a OTP area or locking or something22:47
tntand it does22:47
m_wwhich flash is used in production?22:47
tntAT25SF161 I think22:50
tntbut xobs would know better22:50
