Hey, good luck with flashing this device, I see you have all pins available and marked on PCB. It should be easy. I can also see you've found an interesting video - seems like a recording from the PCB... [Read more]

Hi, I've flashed this one today. In the log on TX2, I can see that OpenBK7231T_App booted up and created AP but it is not visible. Any pointers where to look? [Read more]

p.kaczmarek2 29 Jan 2023 04:53

@dkayukov please post here full OBK log from TX2, from the earliest boot up to 30 seconds online (maybe use Realterm to capture to file). It's possible that new batch of BK7231N has the issue that we... [Read more]

@pkaczmarek2 This is log output: V:BK7231N_1.0.1 REG:cpsr spsr r13 r14 SVC:000000D3 00401C1C 000033AC IRQ:000000d2 00000010 00401e0c 3ffbeffd FIR:000000d1... [Read more]

Thank you! Flashing was pretty easy. I only realized too late I dumped the original firmware from the wrong start address (0x11000 instead of 0), so there's no way to go back :-) Mosfets are marked... [Read more]

0x0 to 0x11000 is bootloader, it should be possible to patch it. Are you really sure that there is no AP? IR requires reboot after setting IRRecv or IRsend. Buttons do not, PWMs do not. You can... [Read more]

Not a 100% sure, but nothing can see it.. Is it possible to configure WiFi from serial console? [Read more]

Sounds like a great idea! I will add this to tomorrow update. You will need to reflash your device. [Read more]

I updated my post with the complete pinout :-D. In the end, I brute forced the mode until I found the right pins. Something that helps to find the IR pin is to set each pin to mode "Button", press a key... [Read more]

What is making a clicking noise? Have you considered using an experimental "powersave" command, which can be entered in Config->set short startup command, to enable low power mode after each reboot? [Read more]

dkayukov 30 Jan 2023 06:43

Cool! Tnx!!! Probably also would be helpful to have ability to execute "Restore RF config" from serial console as well.. Added after 6 [hours] 3 [minutes]: @fiobe Would you be able to share your... [Read more]

Here it is (sha256 a31900827fbe318fc2c7e0ddb7d11ed27acf960cfe2d5dacb0d192a5d80972ce ). Watch out I dumped it starting from address 0x11000 , so it may be useless. [Read more]

fiobe 30 Jan 2023 23:02

I don't know. There's isn't anything mechanical on the board, maybe it's some capacitor? I only hear it in a quite room and with the board close to me, so it's not an issue. Just something super weird... [Read more]

Ich habe heute einen sehr ähnlichen Aldi Casalux RGB-LED-Strip gekauft. Scheint aber doch etwas anders zu sein als der in diesem Beitrag bisher behandelte Strip (siehe Bilder). https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/7349606600_1702317624_thumb.jpg... [Read more]
