Picofly AIO Thread

[NandieeHU]

is there any test i can do with the multimeter?

obviously can't because its only happens if u put the console together. Check the CLK point, sometimes need to redo the cable management.

why not RCM if its unpatched?


have you removed the chip and tried bootign normally?

i don't have a rcm loader, but i have a picofly zero.

Can 'black screen' in OFW and CFW be because of CPU ???

you just need a usb cable and pc/phone/laptop whatever. you don't need a special dongle for it

 

[dewolf]

Purpel screen is usually connected with the cmd resistor eather defektiv or not connected to the board all the way

Nope, in this case i'm sure is a problem of the Firmware. if you check my post,

if i use HWFLY everythings works great,
if i use picofly with 2.65 PURPLE SCREEN
if i use picofly with 2.5 works great

but if by welding dat0, clk, rst and cmd weld the wire on all 2 pads does something happen?

Hi.
I might be doing a PicoFly installation this weekend.
I don't see much information about MicroSD preparation. I'm in no way interested in emunand (please avoid replies saying "it's essy and you should do it", I really don't want emunand), so how can I boot directly into Atmosphere and that's it? Where do I put the fusee.bin payload? (Don't want the Hekate menu, just boot Atmosphere directly)
Thanks!

Use this quide. But skip emunand setup.
Works great on my switch lite with picofly.

I removed everything and borrowed a rcm loader from my friend and it's the same : hekate boot but OFW and CFW showes black screen. Maybe it's hardware or not ? I don't know.

Any just curious what model and eMMC type you have?

i installed a picofly to my switch lite.. ...i boot fusee atmospher got this msg

 

[Arakon]

Make sure you have the latest Fusee and Atmosphere.

Hi everyone.
The MOSFET I got are microscopes, does it look bigger in the picture I saw, or did I buy it wrong?

Yep, those are the ones. They do seem bigger in pictures though.
If you find it difficult to solder you can try some bigger ones, SOP8 casing like IRF8714, IRFH3707, IRF8736 (confirmed working) or give it a shot with AON7506, AON7518 (not confirmed yet but the specs are similar).
They have legs on the outside so it makes everything easier.

Does anyone have any ideas what I am maybe overlooking. I have Waveshare 2040-One I flashed with latest firmware 2.67. I have set “RGB mode” jumped. When I power on the Switch Lite I get a blue then cyan. I have changed mosfet twice.

I cut left speaker in half to fit full RP2040, the top half is just a chamber for acoustics. Speaker still works fine. Switch lite has terrible sound anyway.

because you've tried with the chip boot0 is overwritten. Try with the chip at the no sd screen press both volume buttons see if that willboot

Where is your mosfet wired to? try adding a second fet and shortening the wire length

 

[rehius]

please try to follow this way, your mosfet wiring is not solid enough

you can also wait for the v2.7 where the mosfet requirements might be drastically lowered (optional, will require more wires)

I have pin 3 to rp2040, pin 4 to left side of cap, pin 5 to right. I'm temped to try the single/double in guide. Does it matter what drain I use aren't they all connected. The single mosfet image looks like they have pin1,2,5,6 it's all soldered together

D has 5 pins , S has 2 pins , G has 1pin

The more contact you get from solder points the better the chances of it working.
Shorten the wires on pico, connect both capacitor points if possible. Use 0.2-0.3 wire for mosfet if possible. You can also solder the S(ource) point to the shield.
