= Teensy 2.0 ++ Powering =


== Description ==
== Powering option 1 (voltage regulator, Teensy powered by USB) ==
The Teensy is a complete USB-based microcontroller development system, in a very small footprint, capable of implementing [https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/projects.html many types of projects]. All programming is done via the USB port. No special programmer is needed
Install the 3.3V voltage regulator available at pjrc.com! 5V trace has to be cut and 3V pads have to be shorted!
Please refer to https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/3volt.html


To use it as a PS3 flasher is needed to program it with either NORway.hex or NANDway.hex, explained below
DON'T CONNECT THE VCC SOLDER PADS TO ANYTHING!


*'''Teensy++ 2.0 dimensions''': (1 decimal [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision rounded])
== Powering option 2 (external power, Teensy powered by console) ==
**'''PCB length''' - 5 centimeter (2.0 inch)
Connect Teensy's VCC solder pad to PS3's 3.3V supply (see connection diagram). 5V trace has to be cut and
**'''PCB width''' - 1.7 centimeter (0.7 inch)
3V pads have to be shorted!
**'''PCB thick''' - 1.5 milimeter
Please refer to https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/3volt.html
**'''PCB + Atmel thick''' - 2.4 milimeter
**'''PCB + button thick''' - 3.6 milimeter
**'''PCB + USB connector thick''' - 5.7 milimeter
**'''PCB + USB connector + regulator thick''' - 7.2 milimeter


<!-- gap between motherboard, and motherboard metal shields varies, with 4 milimeter in some areas and 3.5 milimeter in others -->

= Installation Requirements =
Small tool to verify content of NOR dump (recognizes any OFW), replace ros0/ros1 with new core os (.NET 2.0 required)


==== Dump integrity validators ====
You are going to need a lot parts to accomplish such a task.  This takes a lot of patience, and steady hands.<br>
See also: [[Validating flash dumps]]
This is a difficult installation!  If a part is not needed below it will be specified per model so check there as well.<br>


== Pre-Installation Requirements ==
== Parts ==
The following items are required to perform the installation of the Teensy++ to most PS3 consoles.


=== Tools ==<!--section proposed for splitting, but by now is too much specific for teensy-->
1x Sony Playstation 3 Console<br>
The following is a list of suggested good tools and parts you could use to perform the installation of the Teensy++ 2.0 in a PS3
1x Teensy 2.0 ++<br>
1x Dremel Tool (Not needed on some models)<br>
1x Drill<br>
1x Roll of Double Sided Foam Tape<br>
1x 30AWG Kynar Wire or 26 AWG Kynar Wire.  (Few have reported 30AWG may be too small and has interference but does work if done well.)<br>
1x Torque 10(T-10) Screwdriver<br>
1x Torque 8 (T-8) Screwdriver<br>
1x Regular Phillips Head Screwdriver<br>
1x Solder (Can be leaded or no-lead)<br>
1x Soldering Iron  (Radioshack 15-30 Watt Will Work.)<br>
1x Bottle Of Flux No-Clean<br>
1x Bottle Of 99% Isoprobyl Alcohol<br>
1x Box of Q-Tips  (For spreading flux and alcohol where needed.)<br>
1x Pair Of Steady Hands  (Not Joking.  Tremor Fingers will not cut it. You are soldering 40+ points and all must be done very well.)<br>
1x Good Lighting  (Either very well lighted room, or a Lamp.  You need to be able to check your work.)<br>
1x Magnifying Glass  (To check your soldering joints for cold solders.)<br>
1x Patience.<br>


* PS3 disassembling tools:
As you can see it requires a lot of materials to perform this kind of job. If you do not already have the parts for this kind of project, it will probably be cheaper to pay someone else to do it and ship it to and from them.  Also if you are not confident in your soldering technique, it is a very realistic possibility that you will ruin your Playstation 3 Console during this process as there are a LOT of soldering joints that need to be perfectly made.

The Atmel AT90USB1286 microcontroller on the teensy has a voltage operation range from 2.7v up to 5.5v, but the same voltages that feeds the teensy are used in the data lines (traveling along the wires connected to PS3 flash)
 
All PS3 flash models included NAND and NOR works at a range of around 3 volts
 
For this reason is mandatory to cut the 5v trace at the bottom of the teensy board to feed the teensy with 3.3v, this way teensy and the PS3 flash chips will work at the same 3.3 voltage levels

|}
 
===== Teensy powered by USB with onboard voltage regulator =====
Cut the 5V bridge and solder the voltage regulator on the Teensy, then join the 3V bridge as shown in the picture.
 
With this method there is no need to provide the teensy with external power on the 5v pin next to B6 pin. It will get its power from the usb cable and convert it to 3.3v with the regulator to power the teensy logic.
 
<table style="width:100%;">[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - solder regulator on teensy.jpg|350px|thumb|left|Solder regulator on Teensy]]</table>
 
===== Teensy powered externally by PS3 or PSU/adaptor =====
After cutting the 5v bridge, solder the 3V bridge, in order to feed the teensy with the 3.3v are several options. Using either an external power supply taking a 3.3v line from the power supply or from a 3.3v point of the PS3 motherboard and connecting it to the +5V pad in a corner of the teensy. Note using a on/off switch in this wire is suggested otherway teensy will be powered up permanently.

==== Tristate options ====
Tristate, or as it is referred to in the service manuals SB_DISABLE exists solely for the purpose of placing the [[South Bridge]] pins into high-impedance (aka the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-state_logic third state logic]) so that we can access the flash without the [[South Bridge]] interfering.
 
When the southbridge pins are in tristate is like if southbridge (and all peripherals connected to it) where disconnected from the main circuit, the PS3 powers up normally (fans, etc) but it won't boot up to the XMB screen because some components of the motherboard are not found, it just sits there with a black screen
 
Because the tristate pin is not connected to the [[Flash (Hardware) | Flash]] TSOP package, but to the [[South Bridge]] BGA package, this makes tracing the pin quite difficult. One should be able to locate it by having the running you could ground out the unknown pins whilst checking the continuity of a known address or data line against ground. These should enter high-impedance or no-continuity when you ground out SB_DISABLE.
 
===== Tristate Question ====<!--Taken from a conversation between judges and tiago95-->
Q: Just one thing, those anyone know if the teensy sets automatically Tristate to ground on version v0.64 without any usb plugged in?
 
A: No, NORway grounds tristate when you plug it into usb.
But depending on how you power Teensy you might observe some unwanted behaviour that can lead to interference with the console when Teensy is wired up:
 
:1. Teensy is powered externally (by console, no vreg)
::* When usb is connected, console won't boot, because tristate gets grounded (by design)
::* When usb is disconnected, console will boot. Everything's peachy
:2. Teensy is powered by usb (vreg installed)
::* When usb is connected, console won't boot, because tristate gets grounded (by design)
::* When usb is disconnected, Teensy isn't powered by usb anymore, but might receive some voltage through signal lines, which can lead to unpredictable behaviour because Teensy is running in an undefined state

There is no other software control over the onboard led, if teensy does a write/read on other data lines (not D6) the led is not going to blink
 
Following the schematics for the led is posible to add one more led for every data line. But this is not a good idea, has been discussed and reported that the onboard led is problematic and can cause reading/writing problems, so adding more leds is just going to cause even more problems, actually the best thing you can do with the onboard leds is to disable it
 
To disable the led is posible to desolder it, or desolder its resistor, but technically the best way is by cutting its trace because we dont want the led but we dont want the trace either (a trace that goes nowhere is a bad idea and can cause interferences)
 
The best place to make the cut is '''at bottom of teensy cutting around the D6 pad''', the trace that goes out of D6 pad at bottom is specific for the led. '''WARNING: dont cut the trace at top of the teensy that connects D6 pad with the atmel chip !'''
 
===== Adding an extra LED for teensy =====
Starting at norway v0.8 has been added a new function to controll an external led connected to pad B7 of teensy
 
This external LED emits blinks much more informative than the onboard LED, is intended to give much better feedback to the user, it does a flash blink when teensy connects to the PC client (norway.py) at the same time it shows the version on the PC, also the blinking when reading/writing operations are performed is now accurate
 
This new led functions mapped to pad B7 allows to move the led to any place, handy for permanent installations of teensy because you can place the led on the outside of the PS3 case to see how it blinks, or you can repurpose one/some of the original leds of the PS3 case to be controlled by teensy, as explained here: [[Switch_boards#HSW-001_Contour_backlight_controlled_by_teensy | HSW-001 Contour backlight controlled by teensy]]

2.)

Hey. in the past, i create a simple adapter board to connect the Teensy to a "360-clip NAND Clip" (the classic kind of NAND Clips). It's easier and faster to solder a board than [[:File:Teensy NANDway - wired Clip.jpg|wire the cables]], no more problems with cable breaks and a good connection. An english speaking user ask me for a solder tutorial, so I thought on this occasion, i can write directly to the community. :)
Of course, you can find all what you need below to order your own boards.
I hope i could help someone<br />

* 1x 5V Powersupply (minimum 3A)
See section above to cut the 5v trace on teensy and how to solder the 3.3v regulator at the bottom of teensy board
==== Solder the adapter board ====
===== Solder pinheaders on adapterboard =====
Solder the pin-header on the board (be careful, the plastic of the pin-header could melt fast)<br />
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - solder pinheaders on adapterboard.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - solder pinheaders on adapterboard]]
now, plug the red adapter board (which was at the NAND-clip) on the pin-header, solder the pins and cut them if they are too long.<br />
===== Solder adapterboard on pinheader =====
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - solder adapterboard on pinheader.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - solder adapterboard on pinheader]]
===== Mount Teensy to board =====
You can choose, if you want solder the Teensy fixed on the board....<br />
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - solder teensy on pinheader.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - solder teensy on pinheader]]
... or solder the Teensy on female connector to unplug him any time<br />
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - solder teensy on female pinheader.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - solder teensy on female pinheader]]
===== Powersource 1x3 pinheader =====
with the following 1x3 pin-header, you can choose the Powersource for the NAND (external, or USB) (sometimes it can cause problems, when you use the USB as Power Supply)<br />
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - 1x3 Pinheader Powersource.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - 1x3 Pinheader Powersource]]
when you Power the NAND by USB, the final step is to connect the common header-pin with outermost pin<br />
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - 1x3 Pinheader Powersource by USB.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - 1x3 Pinheader Powersource by USB]]
===== Optional things: =====
====== Filtering ======
for a cleaner voltage, you should solder the capacitors<br />
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - Solder capacitors for cleaner voltage.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - Solder capacitors for cleaner voltage]]
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - Soldered capacitors for cleaner voltage.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - Soldered capacitors for cleaner voltage]]
 
====== External regulator ======
you can also solder a stronger voltage-regulator (than the one on the Teensy)  to connect a stronger 5V power supply (than your USB Port).
Before you solder the regulator on the board, you should prepare the large pad of the Regulator and the Board with a layer of tin.<br />
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - Prepare regulator.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - Prepare regulator]]
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - Soldered Regulator.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - Soldered Regulator]]
====== DC connector ======
you can connect your 5V Power supply on the marked solder points. I used a DC-coupling for a better handling<br />
[[File:Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - DC connector for external 5V supply.jpg|300px|Teensy adapter Board for NANDway - DC connector for external 5V supply]]
when you want use the external voltage, you must reposition the jumper (like you can see on the picture), but you can always change the powersource with the jumper
==== Where you can buy this boards? ====
You can find a zip-file to download below. in this file, you find the complete project folder. You can use the files to view and change the Layout or the circuit diagram, but if you only want a board, you can send this zip-file to a PCB service. I order my boards always at [http://elecrow.com/ elecrow.com]. The board has a size of 55mm x 45mm, so you must order the boards on [http://www.elecrow.com/2-layer-10cm-10cm-max-pcb-510pcs-color-free-p-328.html this page].
Before you add your order to the cart, the options should (except the colour, this is your choice) look like on the following picture (a change of the order quantity only changed the weight and the transportation costs, so i order always 10 boards)
