Dumping Parallel NAND with Glasgow
- naruhodo 2y agoThe those wondering, as I did, what a "Glasgow device" is, it's not a broken bottle wielded by a strung-out heroin addict. It's actually a Glasgow Interface Explorer. [1] [1] https://glasgow-embedded.org/latest/intro.html https://glasgow-embedded.org/latest/intro.html
- mvc 2y agoYou know there are people who live in Glasgow that frequent these forums that tire of these stereotyped attitudes to their city. I lived in Glasgow for >20 years and I never saw anyone as "strung out" as the people I saw wondering around Market St in San Francisco.

- orangesite 2y agoGlasgow is lovely, people are cunts.
- naruhodo 2y agoI am of course cracking a joke about the movie Trainspotting.
- jonji 2y agoA film / book famously not set in Glasgow
- orangewindies 2y agoAlthough a lot of it was filmed in Glasgow.

- Apfel 2y agoI have lived in Glasgow for 32 of my 35 years and if you've not seen anyone 'strung out' here I'd be genuinely shocked as it's a multiple time a day thing (even if you live in the West End or other nice areas).
- scholaronroad 2y agoI identify as a west end wanker. I'm yet to see someone strung out on the streets.
- smcn 2y agoDid you move there a few days ago?
- scholaronroad 2y ago4 years ago.
- userbinator 2y agoAccording to the datasheet this is a 512MB (4Gb) 34nm SLC flash, die code M60A. Introduced in the late 2000s and apparently was produced until ~2 years ago. SLC is the easiest to read in this "ad-hoc" fashion but note that newer MLC/TLC/QLC flash is quite prone to read-disturb errors and there may also be a scrambing algorithm applied to the data, so you're likely to need knowledge of both that and the ECC format in order to recover the actual data stored; it's somewhat astounding that random correctable bit errors are basically considered a "normal" occurrence for these newer parts, depending entirely on ECC to compensate for their unreliability. Also, saying "parallel NAND" is like saying "4-wheeled car". NAND flash with the standard parallel interface is the vast majority, found in basically every solid-state mass storage application.
- SAI_Peregrinus 2y agoSPI NAND isn't rare. It's usually QSPI for speed which is a serial protocol with parallel data (nybble at a time), but QSPI flash can pretty much always fall back to plain SPI.
