[v0.1] Simplify bootloader entry #2
Comments
I find the trick highly convenient, but whatever ;-) |
Yeah and the command is broken... Instead of all this error-prone complex stuff just use a button. |
Sorry, I understand I probably sound quite hostile, that's not my intention. I've just had a lot of trouble with both USB PD and USB PD debuggers and after a few months of it that gets frustrating. |
Buttons are nice as long as you can access them when the unit is enclosed in its enclosure and including it doesn't cause the enclosure to be larger than absolutely necessary (since any increase in case size results in more torque on the Type-C plug). I think the USB-ID trick is especially convenient for us since we've been using the trick across multiple internal boards for years, so our devs tend to have them on-hand. Never had an issue with it (although it's best to plug in the micro-B side before the usb-A side). |
The ID pin based bootloader entry scheme is highly inconvenient and requires using an illegal USB cable. Most end users will probably only need to enter the ROM bootloader once, so a test point is fine. I can see developers entering the ROM bootloader more often, so a button in parallel with a test point (which could be DNP) would be quite nice, especially on a high density board like this.
