Hi all.
Whenever I buy VL805 chips from Aliexpress those come empty. Sometimes they would somehow get flashed automatically after soldering them onto the Pi 4B board (1%), but mostly they do not work as expected - there would be power on USB ports but devices won't get to connect.
Is there any way to push firmware into the new blank VL805 chip? I triedor
or same with stable version - no luck so far.
Is there something I'm missing?
