I was psyched when I managed to solder to that tiny pad for CPU_PLL_BYPASS on my falcon trying to wire up a coolrunner3. Im 47 and even with a magnifier its hard for me to see. Then when I was taping it down I put too much pressure on it and it popped off taking the pad with it. I see theres a fix by soldering a wire between these 2 points:




So then do I splice into that wire and wire that to the glitch chip?

Also I wanted to flash back to retail and see if that boots, should it boot retail with the glitch chip wired up if I flash the original nand or do I need to uninstall the glitch chip?

Cool, thanks man. Just so I know all my options...it didnt look like rgh2 used cpu_pll_bypass, so i could also switch to that right?

RGH2 doesnt use cpu_pll_bypass, but I wouldnt use it on a falcon. S-RGH uses the same wiring as RGH2, but is more reliable on boot times.
