Not yet, I trusted the power of Apple
Will try another PC.
Start order:

UART Adapter Connected to the Toniebox
UART Adapter to PC
Tonie to Power Connecter

All other peripherals and battery are disconnected

So just to drop this here that may help some of you with issues connecting UART to the board:

WWZMDiB EEPROM Programmer & CH341A Programmer (CH341A + SOIC8 Clip + Dual Conversion Plate Amazon.com

No need to solder, especially for something you probably only need to do once or twice.

Michael_Carpenter · June 25, 2024, 12:31am

UART sold separately

DorEan · June 25, 2024, 7:36am

It it really an issue with the MacBook….
Successfully first try dump on the windows machine (after adapter driver installation, reboot, and bitlocker and windows recovery key query……)
Thanks for the hints and help!

Just so everyone can see the clamp kit I recommended in action. It works well, I’ve flashed 2 boxes so far:

Great, this clamp is dual use. UART + Flash SOP8

Hi, I’m stuck at extracting the certificates. I followed the doc and downloaded the bin. When I run teddycloud ESP32CERT extract data/firmware/ESP32_mac_ 1.bin certs/client /certs/client stays empty and I get this output:

I downloaded the bin several times via the webinterface and with esptool but it’s always the same when extracting ther certificates. Whats wrong here?

0xbadbee · July 9, 2024, 5:44am

The guide uses an outdated syntax, please follow the original guide

Fme · July 9, 2024, 8:17pm

Thank you for pointing this out! I got the certs now

felix · July 19, 2024, 10:04am

Hey all,
I guess I am somehow stupid… I got the cloud up and running on my synology nas, I got the clamp attached so that I can read the serial information but what I do not get done is “short the jumper J100”. I put a cable in to connect the J100 with the whole next to it but it still starts in “SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT” mode and I do not get why. I tried multiple cables already so that I am sure that this is not the case.
Any idea what I could do?

ruN · July 19, 2024, 10:48am

can you maybe share a picture of that?

felix · July 19, 2024, 12:20pm

sure, here we go:

ruN · July 19, 2024, 12:43pm

ah, this is J101 not J100, take a look into the board in the first post.

Wurst420 · July 19, 2024, 12:59pm

Fixed in the post

felix · July 19, 2024, 1:07pm

mmhhhmm… yes… sorry…

felix · July 19, 2024, 7:49pm

Hello, it is me again. I ran in the next issue and can not fix it on my own or with the FAQ :-(.

I was able to Read via the web UI and I was also able to move the certificates. When this was done I could also generate the patched version of the .bin file but I can not flash it to the ESP. In the UI it either timeouts or, when I restart the box and reconnect the usb port “Failed to communicate: Failed to execute ‘open’ on the ‘SerialPort’: Failed to open serial port”
When I try to do it via shell I also get an error on the corresponding type:
Serial port /dev/ttyUSB0
Connecting…
Detecting chip type…
/dev/ttyUSB0 failed to connect: Unexpected UART datecode value 0x03700000. Failed to autodetect chip type.

I am out of ideas and could so not fine any help online till now

EDIT
only restarting the box made the job.

0xbadbee · August 4, 2024, 9:43pm

A post was split to a new topic: ESP32 certificate errors

boxcee · August 5, 2024, 2:55pm

The Toniebox needs to be powered through all this, correct?

Also, which is the adapter which didnt work for you? I got one which directly plugs into the USB port and I don’t get any output at all.

EDIT: No output, because my user didn’t have permission to /dev/ttyUSB0.

Godfairy · August 5, 2024, 5:21pm

I had issues because I first put my UART to 5 V. Check to make sure it is set to 3,3 V. And remember to short J100 before you power up the box.

boxcee · August 6, 2024, 11:04am

All worked for me now.

I used this adapter: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08T24NML9.

For the documentation, I am missing an explicit mention of powering the board while having it connected to the UART. Connecting the battery worked for me. And yes, also mention to put it in 3,3V mode.

For the troubleshooting section, add a section for correct permissions for the USB device. Suggested by esptool: sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER and then reboot.
