Choosing a Chip Programmer for Vintage Computer Repair in 2025
Got the BGA63 adapter I ordered for the XGecu T48 this morning. If there's ever been an adapter that needed to come with a pack-in user guide it's this one. It's a combined BGA48/BGA63 adapter and the "combined" part is that you have to transfer the whole thing from one bare circuit board to another when you want to switch.
... so after having had to crawl around on the floor looking for those 48 tiny spring loaded pins that easily drops out when you don't have such a guide I finally managed to read out the NAND from a new IoT device I'm targeting atm.
Good: Not encrypted
Bad: As I had guessed, I don't think this is where the main CPU keeps its code
... but let's see where this can take us.
Do you know why all security researchers desperately need to win Master of Pwn contests?
BGA63 adapter for FlashCat: $145
BGA63/48 adapter for XGecu T48: $40
We cannot afford all the adapters we need ...
