Anyone has info on this RTL board? It's from a Tapo P105 plug. Any info much appreciated. Unfortunately the pin-out doesn't seem to match ESP-02S :(.

not seen that one around I don't think. Do you have a multimeter? could do with tracing to which pins each of the TP pads go to on the RTL8720CF

>>21878561 Multimeter is not a problem, my eyesight is . It seems it's being fed with 5 V.

5v - seems that is acceptable for RTL8720CF

>>21878561 It was easier than expected. Should be enough to flash it, thx for the idea. I'll update when I know, unless I release the smoke reserves from the chip LOL. TP1 - Vcc, TP8 - Gnd TP6 - GPIOA_0, TP9 - 36 (GPIOA_15 UART_Log_RXD), TP7 - 37 (GPIOA_16 UART_Log_TXD) TP10 - possibly GPIOA_13 RX If I read it correctly, TP6 and 10 go to VCC for flashing.

It was easier than expected. Should be enough to flash it, thx for the idea. I'll update when I know, unless I release the smoke reserves from the chip LOL.
TP1 - Vcc, TP8 - Gnd
TP6 - GPIOA_0, TP9 - 36 (GPIOA_15 UART_Log_RXD), TP7 - 37 (GPIOA_16 UART_Log_TXD)
TP10 - possibly GPIOA_13 RX
If I read it correctly, TP6 and 10 go to VCC for flashing.
