I have access to the schematics for Speedy... I'm not allowed to share them, but I'm happy to look up something specific for you if it helps. Nico is right, only one of the four DP lanes coming out of the SoC is routed to the connector. If your panel requires more than that, you're probably SOL.

Thanks for the advice Mike, but I think you misunderstood the issue. I wasn't talking about the internal memory of the EC, but rather about accessing the EC firmware in SPI flash via an external SPI flasher. The problem is that the SPI flash power rail is the same as the EC chip, so as soon as we

Did you consider one of these: https://www.digikey.com/products/en/cable-assemblies/smart-cables/468?k=ftdi+uart==ftdi+uart=316=ffe001d4=0=0=1=25 there are many options, it is important to match the cable's VDD to your board's (1.8V vs 3.3V), the rest of the parameters is way less important.

Hi Kyosti, Thank you very much for your reply! I will try to get a couple of these FT232H boards: perhaps just 1 is required for the successful setup, but these boards are not common (just 15 or 20 search results) so maybe its' a good idea to take 2 ;) If this FT232H board works, it would be an
