Failed to read flash WR3L module #6

Open jackrosenthal opened 11 months ago

jackrosenthal commented 11 months ago

I have a couple of WR3L modules. I've tried reading the flash from them using ltchiptool , but get a funny error once the chip is in download mode:

I: Make sure to use a good 3.3V power supply, otherwise the adapter might

I: If you didn't connect RTS and DTR, you need to put the chip in download

I: to GND as well. After doing that, you need to disconnect TX2 from GND.

This is using an external 3.3V supply. For adapters, I've tried an FTDI 2142C, and a FTDI 2242C. Any advice?

I'm using GPIO_A29 and GPIO_A30 for the UART.
