Cannot Program CSRA64215 - [ROM,15] - CSRA64xxx v2 is Too Old

Hey,

I've recently purchased 4 of these new single-ended output CSRA64215/CSR64215 Modules from our dear friends over in China. Here's the link: DC 12V/5V CSRA64215 APTXLL Lossless Music Hifi Bluetooth 4.2 Receiver Board Audio Car Bluetooth Receiver-in Integrated Circuits from Electronic Components & Supplies on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

The problem is, I can't program them !!!1 - I have both v1 and v2 of the "CSRA64xxx and CSRA63xxx Tools", both are too old, with v1 being [ROM,8] and v2 being [ROM,10], all the while my new fancy modules are [ROM,15].

I've read on 52bluetooth the one thread where people recommend simply changing the "ConfigSetDefinitions.xml" file .. have done that, and MASSIVELY bricked a module.

So, does anyone here have a newer version of the CSRA64xxx Tools ? Or any other tips ? (or has actually had the xml mod work reliably?). Thanks !


PS: I managed to revive it by powering it up with VOL+ bridged to COM (ie. with 3v across VOL+) - usually pulling random GPIOs high at powerup will trigger device failsafe modes - and this fortunately was the case.

Would love to have a copy of the latest tool set


I had to revert to an older ROM 8 binary to work with the V1 tools I had. In the end I had success with the custom board. Works well with FiiO F9 IEMS as well as a set of generic earbuds. The F9 IEMs are effecient and the output borders on painful.

Runtime is about 3.5hours at full volume. ( It ran on the bench and not in my ears ). At normal listening levels the runtime was approx 5 hours.

I limited the charge current and it takes a few hours to go from dead to full.

Buttons: Play/Pause/Pair List Reset, Vol+/Next, Vol-/Prev, Power On/Off/Pair

Alright so .. somehow I messed up and missed all the action here;

I'll link a spoofed ConfigTool v2, which was originally [ROM,10], but on which I changed the .xml file to say [ROM,15]. Since that is all I did ... take this solution with a grain of salt.



WE STILL NEED THE PROPER genuine [ROM,15] ConfigTool. If anyone finds it - post it here.


ConfigTool - FORCED [ROM,15]
Dropbox - CSRA64xxx and CSRA63xxx Tools v2 - FORCED ROM15.zip


Enjoy :)
