Experimenting with Jalapeno firmware...

[bitpop]

Anyone see the programmer on ebay?

[prodigits7]

Flashed successfully and running close to 9GH/s

Now I'm selling my AVR Dragon programmer if anybody wants it. Just PM me to make an offer.

[peterepeat]

congratulations on the 9GH - PM sent

[jelin1984]

With speed at 9 ghz jalapeños how many errors have??

you need to keep it and later on you might need to programmer it again.


ps:Avr Dragon at Digi-key sold out both the US and Canada

I have two brand new ones.  Well by the end of the day tomorrow I will at least.  USA east coast here.

$79  plus shipping in BTC.  These do not come with the 10 pin cable as that is not included from the factory.

I bought my AVR DRAGON from Newark. Very reliable and fast shipping. $50 + tax + $5 shipping.

if someone to change Jtag ide pin to something like this on ebay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Lot10-40pin-2x20cable-cord-wire-2Row-header-connector-coupler-2-54mm-1-IDE-PATA-/300924854473?pt=US_Drive_Cables_dapters&hash=item461084e0c9


maybe you dont need to remove heatsink next time for programming jal.

I don't have one here, otherwise I'd check to see if this is possible, but the immediate thing that comes to mind, is the King of reversible volt mods in days of yore the "Pomona Grabber" test clip...

i.e. you use several of those and  hook up to each pin, reaching under the sink.

Of course, you might also wanna dig through your junk box and find a low profile IDC serial header, with a convenient 9 pin D on the other end of it, that you can install under the sink, then hook up to without removing the sink every time.

That what I was thinking of doing, http://www.e-z-hook.com

Sweet I'm not removing the heatsink again

What about this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10pin-DIY-JTAG-IDC-USB-Logic-Analyzer-IC-Test-Clips-Test-Hook-Grabber-Test-Probe-/330879761949 ?

Looks fine, it's a little fiddly getting the hooks onto the correct pin so the colors will help a lot.

[bitpop]

Are all those pins used?

[tom99]

maybe all of wires use for jtag but I am not going to use it and not safe for programming your chip if anything pop out might brick your chip.

[Flashman]

Maybe only 5 pins actually used, but not 100% on that.

Just got my AVR dragon, connected it to to AVR studio and did an upgrade for the Dragon. All good so far. Then erased my Jalapeno, also good. Then tried to flash it using Kano's settings...ERROR. Something about not being able to execute a command. I had a mini-heartattack . Then i tried reading info from the Jalapeno atmel chip. Turned out i have a different model chip on my Jalapeno then Kano. Mine was a AT32UC3A1256 instead of a AT32UC3A1128. After i selected the correct chip in AVR studio it flashed perfectly.

Went from 5.2Gh/s to 7.5Gh/s with same error count!

I managed to break 2 blades from the BFL fan (cheap quality plastic) while doing this. Be careful with removing it or powering it while not mounted on the heatsink.

Some Jal got AT32UC3A1128 or AT32UC3A1256 and both are same but ram size 128K and 256K.

I got the AT32UC3A1256 as well.  Jalapenos both flashed and running around 8 ghs.  Added some heatsinks and also an extra fan to blow on them.

Anyone in LA who wants to flash their jalapenos, you can use my equipment for free.  I also have leftover heatsinks I dont want. 

I have some extra 5x2 connectors (assembled them from bulk packs), this was the hardest part to source.  Will send the extras out for .1 btc each shipped to US48.
