RGH Falcon Motherboard not Glitching

[ishockin]

Hello All,

i finally installed the nand-x and coolrunner. But when it tryies to glitch it just sits there "trying" but wont glitch i have left it for about 10 min nothing.

But when i flash back to my original nand it boots perfectly fine and will play games. But then i try to glitch it again- read nand- created .ecc - wrote .ecc- it just doesnt want to glitch.

I reflashed the coolrunner 2x.

Btw when i read the nand i did one bad block but it was past the .ecc part. I read the nand 4 times all matching and each had the same bad block. i also read back the nand i wrote and they match my original.

Dash is 13604 and cb is 5771
-Used JTAG Tool
-Also tried to creat .ecc with MultiBuilder 0.4
-Original nand http://www.mediafire.com/?517qbgh75ukx25b
Sorry the pictures arent that great its all i got , the soldering is pretty good (brown stuff = flux)

tbh you really need to try and get better pics posted as it would be hard for somone to help as not much can be made from the pic so you need to get that sorted buddy
also the b point on the qsb to the mobo dont look good bit black??? like i say need better pics bud

try multibuilder 0.2 or 0.3. Some people have reported success using different versions.

the soldering is good tho so im 95% sure that, that is not the problem i have done all of the rgh wires 3 times same reult = no glitch

alright i will try both

Can you get a pic of the underside of the board for both wire routing and of the green wires solder point.

Did you use Jtag tool to program the coolrunner as well?

 

[ishockin]

well i tried both and still no glitch, i can here the cpu reset and also see the green light flash

yes i used it to program the coolrunner also with the Nand-X 2 Coolrunner cable, the wires are by the x-clamps and away from the coils

Clean the flux off with alcohol and you can see your soldering much better, flux will corrode things over time, just the basics

 

[ishockin]

ive tried using Bestpigs .ecc generator, i also flashed the coolrunner to the opus.xsvf. Still no luck. Then green light flashes on the coolrunner and i can also hear the cpu reset but still not glitching

 

[ishockin]

bump?

 

[abyss]

please make a picture of the underside of the board so we can see how the wires run

It's not your wiring.

Thanks for the NAND upload, as it answered the question.

I'm guessing you don't know what a bad block is, or more importantly why any in the ecc area are important?

Read the link in my sig...

i didnt think i didnt have to remap the badblock since it was out past the first 50 blocks

lol you're quite right

Looks like I need to focus next time!

ok - at any point does the green LED stop blinking?

Flash the falcon.jed back to your coolrunner board, as it shouldn't need opus.

also, either get a proper camera with macro zoom or better lighting as your camera phone can't focus in low light.

No - the green light will blink until i turn it off
-So the .jed not the xsvf?
alright i will take pics in a few min

 

[Martin C]

well jed if you're using the LPT cable, xsvf if you're using the NAND-x.

 

[ishockin]

i checked each solder joint with a magnifying glass no bridges and all are well connected

 

[ishockin]

when i flash back the first original 50 blocks it boots perfectly fine

well ima try and install it in my jasper and see how that goes

 

[Martin C]

Why are all you pictures out of focus?

If it's blurry, take it again until it's not. Move away from the object and add more light if required.

CPU_PLL_BYPASS looks like it might be a problem, but can't tell from the image.

 

[n1ght0wl]

looks like alot of solder on PLL_BYPASS on motherboard end, that wire is pretty tricky at the best of times

 

[ishockin]

trust me its not my soldering, anyway i did my 16mb CB: 6751 Jasper. Boots to Xell and Hacked Dash on 2nd or 3rd glitch. So i dont know what was up with the falcon even now after i uninstalled everything still works perfectly fine
