It may help to place the GC-Titan Ridge on an anti-static bag when reading/writing the firmware.Was anyone successful reading/writing with Raspberry Pi method? I was never able to get a read off of mine. Maybe I missed that.
Hmm. I gave it another couple of tries, it's not detected on the reading. I just tested out on Titan Ridge V1 and it read immediately. Maple Ridge is just a tough nut to crack.It may help to place the GC-Titan Ridge on an anti-static bag when reading/writing the firmware.
I found reinserting the flash device after a failed connection sometimes helped, especially if its an initializing error. Its a weird one!Hmm.

It was very tricky for me too, but I switched to the Pomona 5250, placed the PCB on the anti-static bag it came in, and positioned the SOIC clip a bit further towards pin 1 with the dimple. It worked immediately and repeatedly.Hmm. I gave it another couple of tries, it's not detected on the reading. I just tested out on Titan Ridge V1 and it read immediately.

This is for GC-Maple Ridge add-in-card only. We cannot flash built-in Maple Ridge controllers.I understand that it is for experienced users, and I know that I run all the risk. First I would like to ask you a few questions... to clear up some doubts.
1- Where is the Maple Ridge Gigabyte z590 Vision D Windbond chip located?
2- If something goes wrong, do I break only the Thunderbolt, or can I break the whole motherboard?
3- If I flash the firmware and then update the BIOS, can something happen?
Thanks!!!!
I've always worried about reinserting without powering off... is that what you mean? I am getting a failed to detect message.I found reinserting the flash device after a failed connection sometimes helped, especially if its an initializing error. Its a weird one!
I'll give this another try tomorrow (busy day today). If I'm able to get this flashed, is there a particular DROM to use?It was very tricky for me too, but I switched to the Pomona 5250, placed the PCB on the anti-static bag it came in, and positioned the SOIC clip a bit further towards pin 1 with the dimple. It worked immediately and repeatedly.
But I haven’t tried the new firmware yet. Was a very busy day. Will be able to pick this up on weekend.
Got it! I have the Pomona 5250 but I readjusted as @NorthAmTransAm suggested and it finally worked! I have the mod-3 version flashed. Which system should I try this in... I have the Gigabyte Z390 (macOS 12.1) or the Asus Z690 (macOS 12.1/12.2.1 or 12.3 beta2)? Also, any accompanying SSDTs?It was very tricky for me too, but I switched to the Pomona 5250, placed the PCB on the anti-static bag it came in, and positioned the SOIC clip a bit further towards pin 1 with the dimple.

The GC-Maple Ridge should be tested on a motherboard that has a Thunderbolt header. If you have already used the card on a board without a Thunderbolt header, did you use a jumper to force power?Got it!
