uhhhhh i kno how to find the diagrams lol
they are on their site
i just posted how to disable and enable the chip
now what im unsure of is lets say i have a hitachi drive and want to put the garyopa 1.3 firmware on the globe-chip
how is that done? the garyopa looks more like a patch then a bin file,
and if it was a bin sile like the sammy drive how would i load it to the chip?
Thx
BTW what happens if we dont close the point of the globe chip. will the chip not function?
To load a different firmware on the SST 39SF040 chip you will need a programmer. I am using a Willem Enhanced Programmer that I got off of Ebay for about $50.00 US. I can confirm that it works and I have programmed the latest Globe 360 Firmware with Xtreme v3.0 Toshiba-Samsung H943 and Xtreme v2.1 Hitachi-LG 059 onto it.
Yes the firmware must be in a .bin file format and of the correct size which is 512KB.
Hope this answers a few of your questions.
