Dumping Parallel NAND with Glasgow
I recently got my Glasgow device, which is a rather impressive piece of tech. I followed the Windows installation instructions and it “Just Worked”, including installing the toolchain! On one computer I needed to use Zadig to force the driver to be libusbK, but on another Windows computer it wasn’t needed.
Wait cycles won’t help us here, because it’s the high slew rate in combination with our long leads & very poorly constructed breakout board that is probably contributing to this. In my case I didn’t need a clean dump but wanted to check if root password were constant or not between units, so I was happy enough to accept some corrupted data as a risk.
