|
|
Hello Korg Forum!
I bought a second hand Korg Electribe 2 Sampler that has an issue with starting up. I figured I could setup the firmware update on an SD card and it would be fine but this is not the case. After powering it on, the startup image appears and the progress bar goes all the way to the end but it doesn't do anything after that. I have tried four different SD and SD/HC cards ranging from 1GB to 32GB formatted using FAT32, with the following folder structures:
SD > Korg > electribe sampler > Sample > e2sSample.all
SD > Korg > electribe sampler > System > SYSTEM.VSB
I have tried several different firmware versions for the SYSTEM.VSB file, but the unit does not acknowledge the SD card since it never continues past the startup screen. When I do have an SD card installed, only the startup image is displayed and the progress bar does not appear. Is there anyway to unbrick this unit?
Thank you in advance! |

Thank you! I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with umbrella (hopefully that will work) and based on the other threads I’m assuming I would need to connect JTAG to some headers I’ll need to install at J9 on the E2S? I didn’t find any specific instructions on how to get this setup and the provided config files transferred so any other info would be greatly appreciated!
I also have a JTAG compatible Silicon Labs 8-bit USB Debug Adapter that seems to have all the required connections which I have used on some Moog products: https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/user-guides/8-bit-USB-Debug-Adapter.pdf
Would this also work or is OpenOCD with a Raspberry Pi the only way to unbrick a E2S?
Thanks again for your help! |

So I just purchased a JTAG Hat for my Raspberry Pi to facilitate connectivity to J9 on the E2S. The Silicon Labs debugger seems to have all the right connections but I don't see anywhere that it supports ARM processors. Here's the JTAG Hat if anyone is interested and I'll keep this thread updated on how it turns out: https://shop.blinkinlabs.com/products/jtag-hat |
