Jinna the bureaucracy witch#Electronics time! I've now acquired enough equipment and patience to perhaps find out what went wrong in my #bParasite build the last time. Careful probing reveals that besides the obvious bridge in one board, everything else is bridge free. So perhaps my soldering wasn't quite as bad as feared, although it's much harder to prove the package is actually connected to all the tiny pads.
The next hurdle is to figure out if my flasher is bad, or perhaps I'm just using it wrong. Would love finding a sample something to plug into the #BlackPillV2 running #blackMagicProbe to confirm it works on known-good hardware. No idea what that something could be though where I wouldn't have to first solder an SoC on a breakout board, putting me right back in square one.
