FreeRunner

FreeRunner is currently in active development; certain things may change.

FreeRunner is an open-source Glitch Chip created by ArminAustin200. It is based on the Altera MAX V CPLD as a modern replacement to Xilinx-based Glitch Chips, which have since reached EOL.

Features

• RGH1.2 support for Falcon, Jasper, Tonasket, and Trinity consoles is implemented. Support for Corona is being worked on.
• Multi-NAND support for dual-booting on both phat and slim consoles.
• EXT_CLK support for Xenon/Zephyr consoles.

Install Diagrams

*: Oscillator required

• NOTE: Multi-NAND WILL NOT WORK with EXT_CLK as there is not enough space on the CPLD to fit the logic for EXT_CLK & XSB mux-ing

Phat

Falcon/Jasper/Tonasket (RGH1.2)

• A - PLL
• B - STBY_CLK
• C - POST
• D - RST

Xenon/Zephyr (EXT_CLK)

• A - EXT_CLK
• B - STBY_CLK
• C - POST
• D - RST

Slim

Trinity (RGH1.2)

• F - PLL (For slim)
• B - STBY_CLK
• C - POST
• E - RST (For slim)

Corona/Waitsburg/Stingray (RGH1.2)

• F - PLL (For Slim)
• C - POST (requires POSTFIX)
• E - RST (For Slim)

Phat Multi-NAND

• Info and diagrams coming soon...

Slim Multi-NAND

In order to do a multi-NAND install with FreeRunner on a slim console (Trinity/Corona/Waitsburg/Stingray), a NAND-wich install must be done. For the CE lines of the NAND-wich, the pads labelled TP1 to TP10 (NOTE: some limited edition versions of FreeRunner have up to 10 test points, while most have 5) must be used.

NAND CE Lines

• CE1 - TP1
• CE2 - TP2
• CE3 - TP3
• ...

Repeat this for however many NANDs as you intend on using.
