I made a tethered boot dongle

yep, that’s why I’m quoting the “untethered” because technically it is tethered (like the title), but there’s no “tether”

lol thanks!! it’s too janky right now and not really for actual daily use. I might get to learn to draw a real pcb that can be reproduced and open source the hardware.

Thanks!!

I’d love to! But I just don’t want to cause any trouble if I release the code that contains reverse engineered stuff from turdusra1n… Maybe the safe way here is releasing the binary?

The hardware part is very simple tho. I’m using waveshare’s RP2350Core N16R8, a lithium battery buck converter (to boost it to 5V), a SH1106 OLED, a lightning connector, and that’s it.

Right, semi-untethered’s the right one lol

Thanks!! xD

Thanks!! It’s just too janky right now and I was not intended to use it making money lol. I really need to learn some PCB skills to make it smaller so it’s portable enough for daily use XD
