Is the USB 8285 Tiny board still untested?

[robnewton]

Interested in putting a couple of the tiny boards together. It's been a couple years so figured I'd check and see if anyone else has come along and used the tiny board design? If so were there any changes needed?

I believe all boards currently in git have been tested. I should have updated the notes >.< One thing is be sure to add kapon tape to the top of the board! Let me know how it goes, if you can repro it I will edit it to say it's been tested :-D

I have now succeeded in programming the EspUSB Tiny! It does work, and I plan to write a blog post/tutorial explaining exactly how to have the hardware built, where to solder test points, how to configure the user.cfg, and how to install the firmware.

@peterburk Please post here when you complete. Also if you can do a pull request for any needed documentation, etc., that would be awesome.

Hi, @peterburk, was programming without problems for you? I can communicate but unable to flash for some reason (MD5 errors, without compression timeouts etc)

Btw. I can share schematic imported to easyeda

@dimov-cz What software are you using to flash: make burn or Arduino? Did you remember to connect GPIO0 to GND as well as serial Tx and Rx? Are you using 3.3V serial? I was able to program it successfully once I knew which pins to use.
