I Purchased them from RS.
They wasnt write protected when I installed them, as I had written to them a good few times. Anyhow, I have ordered more and RS are next day, so probably tuesday my troubles will be over.

Its unlikely you've write protected them then.

Re: PJ-V2's 530 Build
Well yes I agree, I've been getting some odd error from them I was just seems like they have become write protected.
The only thing I can think of is that I may have put the 5v on reversed, but I dont remember doing so and even doubt that could cause it.
I'm lost, I will desolder the remaining bad chip and bin it, they arent that expensive to waste any time on.

Re: PJ-V2's 530 Build
those chips are on the 3.3V bus so even reversing 5V will not kill them.
You could have a dead Pi.

Re: PJ-V2's 530 Build
The Pi can program the spare I had just fine. It's definitely the chips that have b0rked. I even desoldered the good chip from the bus and swapped it into the ram location and it still worked fine and the other two still failed.
Anyhow I've given up and I'm sure the replacement will work fine.
Do you have any 534 boards for sale? I would like to buy a couple if possible. As much as I have enjoyed building the 530, now the 534 is about, I think it's only logical to upgrade

Re: PJ-V2's 530 Build
Pretty much as of today the TF534 is dead to me. I've replaced it with the TF536 which is on order. I dont have any boards and i'm not going to do another production run (unless the TF536 is a total failure).

Re: PJ-V2's 530 Build
Is there an ETA on the gerbers being released? I could always get a few made and make them available to members if needed.
Re: PJ-V2's 530 Build
Is the SPI port functional on the 530?
