Hello dear users !

This topic will serve as initial guide for RIFF Box eMMC ISP/Direct functionality. This is not regular update, but rather a major upgrade.
As such, it will come free for all RIFF Boxes registered in last 6 months, and of course for all new RIFF Box customers.

To prepare everything on Your side for this upgrade, You’ll need the following:

• RJ45 cable
• 3×100 ohms resistors
• External source for VCC and VCCQ (Optional)
• Moorc adapters (Optional)
• Activation credits (If Your box is older than 6 months)

RJ45 cable is required to connect RIFF Box to eMMC as RIFF Box RJ45 port is used for this function.

3×100 Ohms resistors are required as pull up, to increase signal levels and improve stability.

Extarnal source for VCC and VCCQ is required in case that You don’t want to open Your RIFF Box, in order to connect RIFF Box internal VCC voltage source. We know that there are already some adapters on market, which offer this function.

Moorc adapters are well known, and they offer best at price range.

Activation credits You can get in exchange for some money. We have too many of those, and we will be happy to exchange some of them to real money.

RIFF Box RJ45 port pinout:

1-NC
2-SD_CLK
3-SD_DAT0
4-SD_CMD
5-NC
6-NC
7-NC
8-GND
VCC pin is located on RIFF Box motherboard, bottom side. You can locate it if You check attached photo.

Pull up resistors should be connected from VCCQ to SD_CLK,  SD_CMD and SD_DAT0 lines.

So, as already announced here, there is whole lot of users testing newly developed RIFF Box features. Here are some of the posts and logs:

– Double click “Cache” partition
– Click “Flash Selected”

This will write zeros to Cache partition and practically wipe it’s content.
