Rockbox mail archiveSubject: DRAM 2MB -> DRAM 8MBDRAM 2MB -> DRAM 8MB

Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 16:15:06 +0200 (CEST) Hi folks, Did some soldering today in my company. A lot of work (about 2.5 hours) for the unmounting and mounting of the DRAM chip and additional work for the patching of some wires. At least no patches (cutting) on the board were necessary, just 12 additional wires and bending of two pins of the new DRAM chip. Additionally, I found out there is a documentation mistake in the AJB schematics about the connection of the address bus: DRAM's A0 is connected to SH1/FLASH's/etc A1 and so on - of course, we have 16-bit addressing at the DRAM so it has to ignore A0. And some additional mistakes about A0-A2 connected to the 573, but that's a minor issue. Put it all together again and - it works! At least using 2MB, no patched firmware available yet supporting 8MB, I will play with this tonight. Sorry, no pictures available yet (but expect some ugly soldering on the pics ...) :-) I keep you on track about the firmware patch and (hopefully) the success story.
