Is it me, or is that thing a SPI flash chip on a PCB plus a few transistors? It seems like copying the PCB design is rather doable, or am I missing something?
Indeed, very doable, but tedious work ;)
Here you go:
https://github.com/DanielG/asmb4 https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/jZLoDQ3YI had the schematics lying around on paper for a while now but I was too lazy to digitize them until now. The design is completely untested, I just ordered some boards though so we'll see.
FWIW if anyone is interrested in getting some assembled boards I might do a small production run.
Holy crap awesome you are the best dude!
I asked about this awhile ago and I wish you had replied :D
I have boards without it so I would love to buy some if they are priced lower than the official one - Do you have an estimate?
Might be a way for you to make a bit of extra cash as you could peddle them to the various core/libreboot D8/D16 sellers plus leah/minifree, the fsf, raptor (for integricloud x86) etc.
It is still quite important to have these boards as propriatary-equivilant-functional for applications that don't yet run on POWER (talos 2/blackbird) and this is a great step considering the D8 and many D16's even new don't come with that chip and they sell for IMO too much on ebay. (my linky is $30 plus a silly $30 shipping for tiny chip - so $60)
