T31 Version

The T31 version comprises T31L, SC3336, RTL8188FTV, 16MB. Here is the current T31L firmware. Currently, the installation of Thingino firmware requires camera disassembly along with putting the firmware on an SD card and using the flash glitch (shorting pin 5+6) method, or doing programming inplace with a CH341A device..

T31 - V3 PCB

FOR THE V3 version of the T31 motherboard, the 8-pin chip to the right of the T31 (labelled "U15") IS NOT the memory chip (it's actually the audio amplifier ...the big hint being the speaker plug/socket right next to it), so do not short pins 5 & 6 of this chip when trying to flash new firmware.

Aosu-C5L-V3

The actual memory chip (labelled "U7") is on the other side of the PCB next to the lens, meaning you have to unscrew the four corner, black-headed screws (but not the two in the middle which hold the lens assembly) and take the board out of the housing shell to be able to program it (to prevent damage, you should temporarily remove your SD-card before trying to wrangle the board out of the housing ...but don't forget to replace it before beginning the flash process). This all means that the programming procedure becomes even more finicky, as you now need to hold the board still while holding your screwdriver across pins 5 & 6 of U7, while also toggling power. Or train your pet octopus.

Note that the labelling on the chip show it to be a 128Mb (16MB) 3v3 part.
