As far as I know, all the RaPi should work for this. If you are looking for cost effective, you can get a RaPi Zero on Sparkfun or Adafruit for around $10. I would expect NewEgg to be pricey. ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Friday, March 13, 2020 7:48 PM, wrote: > While I have read of

While I have read of others who just plowed though with whatever ch431a they had, and gotten it to work. I am inclined to look at getting a PI. I am looking at Newegg, I am guessing I can get the least expensive Raspberry Pi. I have a few weeks before my Social Security is paid. Most of

"I haven't found controllers that deliver 5V when flashing" I agree with this halfway. All the CH341As I've personally seen supply 3.3VCC out of the box, but 5V logic. All of the schematics I've seen on the internet show this, so I don't think its just me. The 5V logic levels come from the

As far as the voltages go, I'm not sure I understand unman's "garbage" comment. The PROMs on your X-230 are 3.3V logic, but the CH341A programmer usually has 5V logic. I've heard that some CH341A are 3.3V, but that seems more because there are several different places in China producing the

Thank you for your reply. I will read through the documentation again, and perhaps give it a trial some morning, before I begin to Sundown. I have another laptop, which in theory would run QUBES, (Mid 1009 17 MBP) but my first efforts in trying to get QUBES working on it just revealed

I am looking as to which Linux to install on computer that does the programming. I am guessing you would recommend Debian, latest version. Also which Linux to leave on Lenovo X230 before I start to add Core Boot. When you say. "Voltages, garbage." Are you saying to forget all about
