fromloper1121: Stanislav, instead of trying to sell those few SmartProbes for 1 BTC, you could fund the reverse engineering and production of compatible clones for a fraction of 1 BTC and make this device much more accessible to the hardware tinkerers like you, fighters with a FritzChip industry. Since a Sage company is dead, no one can sue you for a copyright
fromloper1121: infringement (that's if you care about it). I hope it is possible for you to dump all the firmwares of this device, order the boards from China (SeeeedStudio?) with a similar schematic, and flash the dumped firmwares into new chips to make it firmware/hardware-identical to the original. Just like the Chinese are doing on AliExpress, selling the
fromloper1121: cheap clones of the expensive dongles from STM / Microchip / etc, making the firmware development more affordable to the hobbyists and also earning some money in the process. Or, you could provide the dumped firmwares and schematics for someone else to do this without having his own SmartProbe.I am a coreboot developer and have a moderate interest
fromloper1121: in this device, however 1 BTC = $7000 - is really too much; moreover, I found a Gizmo being sold together with a SmartProbe for about $500, however this price is also way too high to be justifiable to not-a-millionare, considering there are plenty of coreboot-supported AMD boards which could provide a serial output in case something goes wrong and
fromloper1121: a board doesn't boot with a new coreboot update. However, if I'd see a compatible clone for $100, I could get it, and maybe the other people from a coreboot community would want to get it too, at least for the collection purposes.
