    No problem, so, what kind of W600 board you have? How does it look like?



    Update 2026
    As of 2026, this platform read/write is also supported by our flash tool:

    The connection (soldering, wires), is the same, but you can use our tool instead of the legacy one.
    Please check it out and use it instead of legacy tools, let us know how it works for you!

    They didn't print a markings on pads... not good.

    Okay, now show us the other side of the board.

    Futhermore, can you create a high-quality photo of the board so we can see where the traces go?

    I 'd guess, connect RX, TX and 3.3V and GND... but I am not sure about boot signal.
