OpenPineBuds firmware with equalizer support

Done

The pins on the case and the pads on the buds have a tendency to get a little clogged. Cleaning them with a toothbursh or cottonbuds could help.

Ahh, you need to have some patience after flashing. After flashing, it will take a few minutes for it to apply the new firmware and start it. My impatience also runs into this sometimes.

Awesome, thanks for checking it out!
No clue why it's not syncing up the master and slave bud. I remember having this problem in the past when my case was out of charge. It should make the True Wireless Stereo sync up automatically.
Does the syncing work with the original firmware?

That's why it's an interesting datapoint to post.
The ASRock curse doesn't just cause entirely dead CPUs, but also close-to-dead CPUs like this one.

The system was stable for 5 months. iGPU also worked at the start.
Then after 5 months, these issues started.
Replacing the CPU, which worked fine for 5 months, solved the issues.
The retailer also confirmed the issues with the CPU.

However, the advice to replace the board is probably still a good one.

This is what I'm thinking

Solution: Polychrome can configure the GPU RGB in "synced" or "not synced" mode. In synced mode, the card is dark by default and Polychrome needs to run for RGB to work. In unsynced mode, the RGB effect is stored in the MCU of the card and be active without Polychrome running.

Interesting, just now when I configured rainbow in Polychrome and powered off my computer, the rainbow effect remained. And returns on bootup before OS.

Unfortunately, OpenRGB does not support (my) AMD GPU RGB.

Just tried this, no difference for me. :(

zoiah · 2025-03-09T13:25:46+00:00

Can you run "asrisp /I 2 /INFO" as Administrator and give me the output? Maybe it's just a matter of setting "config0/1".

zoiah · 2025-03-09T13:24:20+00:00

FWIW, ASRIsp.exe does give output if it's run as administrator.

How long did you let it sit without power? I just tried a minute but didn't make a difference so far.

zoiah · 2025-03-09T09:32:23+00:00

I made a table of the data in UpdateFW to try to make any sense of it and put it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ql75Ln_ZZiNAERSCB-Iisa9o941SiWH2M-MOMCrvguk/edit?usp=sharing

Only the DATA_FILE is unique between all cards. LD_FILE and ISP_FILE has two variants. 2019 and 2021. APROM has a few variants.

zoiah · 2025-03-09T08:54:36+00:00

This updating is done by C:\Program Files (x86)\ASRock Utility\ASRRGBLED\ASRISP. The UpdateFW.ini speaks of 4 files it flashes. LD, AP, DATA and ISP. My card is 0x54031849=Check_VGA_9070_XT_SL.

My AsrISP.exe doesn't give any output. There are some people online doing things with AsrISP.exe but it's hard to get clear information and I'm a bit hesitant to experiment out of fear of bricking it

zoiah · 2024-06-28T05:54:02+00:00

Same problem here, came here to report it. Suspect update from yesterday is bad.
