The X-BIT really seems to be a pile of garbage when it comes to its USB | ||
interface. I failed with the original software on a trusty old Pentium Pro | ||
with first gen USB (the machine has exactly one USB port!). | ||
|
||
Then I tried this tool on Linux on a shoddy HP laptop which also failed. | ||
8086:0f35 Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx, Celeron N2000 Series USB xHCI (rev 0e) | ||
|
||
Next I thought maybe give AMD a try and connected the chip to an | ||
MSI GF615M-P33 V2(MS-7597) mainboard (some AM3 platform) | ||
It was one of these controllers: | ||
10de:03f1 NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 USB 1.1 Controller (rev a3) | ||
10de:03f2 NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 USB 2.0 Controller (rev a3) | ||
|
||
First try, the tool didn't recognize the modchip. Looking at dmesg, the | ||
'Manufacturer' field was read as 'ST Micrnics' (wow). | ||
After simply replugging the chip, it now read 'ST Microelectronics' and | ||
everything was fine. Formatting worked, flashing worked, everything | ||
was fine, which was a bit surprising because previous research brought | ||
up an old thread where it was claimed that nforce chipsets would be | ||
the worst when trying to deal with the X-BIT, and VIA chips were recommended | ||
instead. |
