I added a RAM chip to upgrade a Basic to Plus, but renaming the FW does not work anymore.
Same here.., Ubuntu 19.04
I just received my Basic model ordered during last Ali anniversary for 48$ !! only.
Added RAM for ~1$70, so my "plus" model costs less than 50$...
There is an EEPROM chip that you need to desolder and reprogram the DSPlus model ID in 2 different places.
This doesn't work for me, too
(
The EEPROM isn't recogned within Ubuntus flashrom (CH341A).
On a closer look the chip is named 4128BRP from ST -> M42128 instead of AT24C128
It seems that this chip isn't supported, ST chips are listed wihin 24C01 - 24C64, no M42 numbers..
I just ordered a couple of AT24C128 (pic told Atmel) and hope.
For the meantime I recompiled the sources the make the Basic run as Plus...
I have both the 0.9.8 and 0.9.9 versions, installed both clean and tested- and they both work in Plus mode (for my Basic w/ram upgrade)...
Plug in dsl, pid will be for Basic, start up DSView, it loads the firmware file for the Basic (which is now Plus fw), usb re-enumerates, now pid is for Plus, software now sees a Plus.
I have no USB skills, I don't no how re-enumeration works.
I took a look at the sources, DSView + PulseView, both will identify the unit along the PID.
