The command however is not writable. How to install gaussian 09 linux ubuntu download. Reading it returns.

Ok, nothing straightforward. No obvious BOOT pin as one would expect with a device that's not meant to be tampered with. But maybe pulling some pin high or low during reset will get me somewhere. After the first pass no, not really. Chertezhi frezernogo stanka s chpu. So maybe we have to set multiple pins into multiple states for it to work. Or maybe there's no such combination at all. How about I try to abuse N/C pins instead.

I have no logical explanation as to why I came to this decision. Maybe I saw a presentation somewhere about blackbox chips and N/C pins years and years and years ago but I could just be imagining things. Either way, about 5 minutes of poking at PIN #28 with a resistor connected to 3.3v in hand and triggering RESET at random intervals while running a continuous command scan. $ smbusb_scan -w 0x16 ------------------------------------ smbusb_scan ------------------------------------ SMBusb Firmware Version: 1.0.1 Scanning for command writability.

Hello guys, I have few batteries with BQ8030 which are released by Sony/Sanyo, there is no datasheet for this chip. I just want to know how can I reset the Cycle. Sony tool reset /program bq8030 bq8020 bq80201 software and how to reset/program.

Let's just reset for now. $ smbusb_sbsreport SMBusb Firmware Version: 1.0.1 ------------------------------------------------- Manufacturer Name: ERROR Device Name: ERROR Device Chemistry: ERROR Serial Number: Manufacture Date: 1980.00.00 Uh-oh. Well that's not good!

It seems we're stuck in the Boot ROM. Is the chip fried?

It's at this point that I coded up the flash tool to try and read the flash contents. (I wasn't really bothered by the chip dying as this was one of 2 sacrificial controller boards I kept just for messing around with.) And the results? Apparently we can corrupt (ideally just) the first couple of blocks of flash if we bully PIN #28 while the chip is trying to start up. The good news though? (If we're lucky) We get 99% of the firmware, and thanks to we have a (zip) for it.
