Reply To: OSSC v1.xx series beta firmware
would it be possible to use pin 46 on the chip labelled EP4CE15E22 as a substitute for R35?
Yes… it is possible to remove R35 and then solder a thin enameled wire between pin 25 of U1 (TVP7002PZP) and pin 46 of U2 (EP4CE15E22 / Cyclone IV FPGA). It does basically the same as connecting pin 25 to the input pad of R35.
I did it and it worked flawlessly:
BUT soldering a wire to the pad of R35 is MUCH easier than soldering to pin 46 (especially if you had a hard time soldering to the pad of R35 in the first place). Accidentally shorting some pins on U2 could potentially damage the FPGA and therefore render the whole OSSC useless!
