It sounds like you might be confusing which board you’re using. The “1 MB” version doesn’t have an SDRAM chip and that’s where data is written when flashing firmware. It’s just physically impossible to have it working with current firmware build.
As for differences on PCB, it won’t have the large chip in the middle. Or it might be that there would be a chip that doesn’t works, then it would look the same.
Both Daisy Seeds have the large chip on it. I mean those two (Daisy Seed 1MB and Daisy Seed 65MB), which I recently acquired from schneidersladen:
and
Only the so called 1MB-Version seems to work right now.
@antisvin May you have any ideas for that or is it a hardware thing somehow, that it don´t work right now?
@niektb You also have the 65MB version or the 1MB? Would wonder, if you really got the 65MB-version to function…
As you say they look the same, have you confirmed that you’re not confusing the two in some way? The “65 MB” is normal Daisy Seed and is the one on which current version on OWL can run, “1 MB” is not supported and will fail either when firmware starts or if you try to upload patches. So if you say you’re getting opposite results, you must be misunderstanding which one you’re trying to use.
I have just the 65MB version, highly confident. They don’t offer the 1MB at my source
Okay, now I understand you! At least I´m relatively sure, that I didn´t mixed them, since packaging was different. Since the Daisy Seeds 1MB and 65MB seem physically identical, how can I double-check via PC how much MB is there? Or do you mean, that the big chip should miss at the 1MB-Version? At least I don´t find a info about this at Daisy HP.
If you’ve bought them at the same time, it’s quite possible that someone in Schneidersladen mixed them during packaging. Either way, I know that 1MB can’t possibly work with OWL currently and we have a confirmation that rev7 board with SDRAM chip works (for another user). So seeing that you have 2 different Seed version and just one of them works means that you’re confusing which one has no SDRAM.
They have a page stating that SDRAM chip won’t be soldered on 1MB version. But I wouldn’t be surprised if E-S would also sell Seeds that have a non-functional/faulty chip too. I.e. they could determine that after testing finished products in addition to making Seeds without soldering external memory.
They have an example that tests memory functionality, you could use it as a starting point for testing your hardware. Or maybe just try flashing some Daisy examples that use SDRAM for data buffers. If you need more help with identifying your device, this should probably be discussed with someone on Discord or at least in a different forum thread.
