Toniebox2 emmc data storage

Hi :vulcan_salute:

Eventually I had a breakthrough in HW reverse engineering the Toniebox2 data storage.

Since I first opened the box and realized there is no SD card anymore - instead an ugly 32GB emmc chip - I‘m wracking my head how to read that sh*t out hardware based…:exploding_head:

Then remembered having a universal USB dongle for a 3D printer that uses emmc chip as well.

Tada, it turned out it’s pinout compatible since it is following the standard.

Then soldered the toniebox2 emmc chip from the PCB and finally made it this night to re-ball and solder it back to the dongle’s PCB board.

Connecting that dongle to my computer, tada again, a standard FAT32 volume popped up on my computer as we are used to it in toniebox 1 :sweat_smile::+1:
