    I had given someone a Tapo P100 which is RTL8720CF, so nabbed that back (swapped with Beken device). Here's some resources relating to the P100. New post rather than make a distraction in the development thread.

    I also have Tapo P100 but EU version, and the board is a bit different. But I have a few questions regarding the flashing connection scheme.
    Would you mind sharing your connection setup for flashing the chip?
    I'm assuming that PA15 and PA16 go to TX and RX.
    What about PA0? I've read somewhere it should go to 3v3.
    And should I put C_EN to GND while booting to put it in download mode?

    yes to PA15/16 and I pulled PA00 high with direct connection to 3.3V. I did not need to use CEN - just powered on with PA00 connected.

    This is more useful. Some GPIOs not seen on RTL8720CF modules I have. Not for use with the mains of course.
