Go6 unboxing

Renate · Yesterday, 06:19 PM

I've always found where somebody does the unboxing of a new device in a 30 minute video boring. So I try to skip over the part where you say, "And then I remove the cellophane from..."

I just received my new Go6. The question always is: should I read the instruction manual or warm up the soldering iron?

All you astute people have noticed already that the circuit board says "Poke6".

Opening the case on this is much tougher than the Poke5.
It takes quite a bit of force to open it.

This has a different processor than anything we've seen, an SM6115.
But it's part of the "Bengal" family so the same SDM662 Firehose loader works.
Currently I'm doing a full, raw backup. Done.
That way, no matter how I screw it up I can recover it.

The UART and EDL test points are as shown.

Congratulations on getting a new device, and have been exploring it as much as you need.
