MBA EASY FLASH

im sure he hasnt updated that part but his database is always growing

I have been developing many things in my spare time which is little now days. I also have a bottleneck with funds, so the MBA Easy Flash was the most popular and fully funded. This is a small clip that will let you interface with your MBA's EFI chip with no soldering or disassembly other than removing the back panel. I have been really swamped with personal, work, and GhostlyHaks related stuff, so I am truly behind. I will work extremely hard to make any future unveiling much smoother. I have not updated thsi site in some time because I along with token.paul am working on the new GhostlyHaks site which will give a bit more of a friendly interface. The projects will stay up to date and I will be contributing weekly to a blog that will offer a video at the header. We have a few other ideas that will be revealed at go live of the new site. ecommerce will be added so no more of the emailing back and forth of details and missing communication. Please bare with me while I finish assembly of the clips and get them shipped as I have stated before I am but one man.

the adapter can be seen on his youtube videos
and as far as the tool goes try searching before you jump to conclusions

Even when I translated this I had no clue what you were saying. Unless its spam...

the clip is currently out of stock and you can get the pi and wires for much cheaper. i hope to have more clips soon but this is all community driven so I will be asking for donations and preorders as soon as a finalize the next design.

Not as of yet still WIP.

I have a A1370 I just got so did you figure out the pinouts?

I just did a A1370 with no issues with the pinouts that thaGHO5T has posted.

I had the wires connected by using the pinout diagram thaGHO5T has posted and be damn sure you have a good and flat connection to the header.

Here is my setup:

MBA Clip Pinout Configuration

Pin 1 of the chip (marked with a small dot) which is CS (Chip Select) goes to pin 24 on the Raspberry Pi.
Pin 2 of the chip which is MISO (Master In Slave Out) goes to pin 21 on the Raspberry Pi.
Pin 3 of the chip which is WP (Write Protect) goes to pin 17 on the Raspberry Pi.
Pin 4 of the chip which is GND (Ground) goes to pin 25 on the Raspberry Pi.
Pin 5 of the chip which is MOSI (Master Out Slave In) goes to pin 19 on the Raspberry Pi.
Pin 6 of the chip which is SCLK (Clock Speed) goes to pin 23 on the Raspberry Pi.
Pin 7 of the chip which is HOLD (Hold) goes to pin 17 in the Raspberry Pi.
Pin 8 of the chip which is VCC (Positive Supply Voltage) goes to pin 17 on the Raspberry Pi (3.3v)
I use a breadboard to gain more 3.3v out. I run the 3.3v from the PI to the breadboard that has a five pin header installed so I end up with extra 3.3v connections for the clip.

I use the above pinout configuration for models A1502 - A1466 - A1465 - A1425 with the switch to the left. (Pinout 1)

I use the same pinout configuration as above for models A1398 - A1369 - A1370 except I throw the switch to the right. (Pinout 2)

Some people don’t use the 3.3v for the WP and the HOLD. I use them all the time and never have any issues especially with model 1466 which requires the 3.3v on the WP and HOLD.

Can you elaborate on how you did it for other members as a reference please?

The header on Early 2015 MBA 13" is much smaller (half size) of 2011 MBA. So The clip does not fit any more

I should have specified who I was talking to. I meant that last message for CygnusX1. I know the header size has changed and my new clip will support all models year to date. I just have to finalize the design. I think that some Mac's have the header in the middle of the board which will cause an issue with connecting my clip. I hope to be able to overcome this issue before I release the new clip.
