[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

So best bet for those that can’t solder don’t have solder equipment is to use something like the revelprog-is?

Yes, this is what I used (successfully) to read and write to the GC-Titan Ridge flash ROM. But it needs Windows.

If you were using just the add in GC-Titan Ridge card, could you just use the firmware updater in Windows or does it reject it? Forgive me if this has already been addressed.

As far as I know, the firmware updater in Windows will reject our modified firmware.

If I can afford one this week I'll give it a shot. The Asus updater will take anything. It was almost comical.
 
Well everything appeared to go fine till fumbled it and he 28 pin snapped. Figured it was worth a try since I had ordered the device already, I guess its on to the expensive one.
Can you solder the wire to the exposed area where Pin 28 would have been?

No I tried I was hoping there was just enough metal sticking out that I could get a bead on it but I was not successful. It was only $10 and free shipping from amazon so I am not upset. My first instinct was to take it to the TV repair shop and have them make the mod for me but I got lazy and decided I had to stuff to try it myself.

A set of jumper wires was just delivered so I plan to try the Raspberry Pi 4. It has only two 3.3V power pins, but I believe we need 3:
  • /WP (pin 3 on chip)
  • /HOLD (pin 7 on chip)
  • VCC (pin 8 on chip)
So I'll have to jerry rig a Y-splitter.

Raspberry Pi's SPI pins should already provide a 3.3V bias on:
  • MOSI (pin 19 on RPi) --> DI (pin 5 on chip)
  • MISO (pin 21 on RPi) --> DO (pin 2 on chip)
  • SCLK (pin 23 on RPi) --> CLK (pin 6 on chip)
  • CE0 (pin 24 on RPi) --> /CS (pin 1 on chip)
