Retention clips. I asked a bunch of people over the years. No one else seems to have come across them, that I can find.luciodra wrote: Fri Apr 10, 2026 8:28 am What are they called and where can you find these "metal brackets" that are used to better block the chips in the socket?
I cannot see a new firmware released yet and the changes only show updates to version numbers for the firmware (not yet released) and PGUSINIT which is just a version change (no changes otherwise).Mikerochip wrote: Wed Apr 15, 2026 3:29 pm PiGUS v4.1.0 out.

Yeah, same, sorry. I was on the authors BluSky page, and he said "v4.1.0 released", so, I just assumed...kodak80 wrote: Thu Apr 16, 2026 9:04 amI cannot see a new firmware released yet and the changes only show updates to version numbers for the firmware (not yet released) and PGUSINIT which is just a version change (no changes otherwise).Mikerochip wrote: Wed Apr 15, 2026 3:29 pm PiGUS v4.1.0 out.

Actually, you were correct, I dug into the commits this morning and there are indeed some code updates to PGUSINIT addressing bugs. I have copied these updates over and spun up a new 3.9.0a PRG version. The source also contained code I had added, so now aligns to the original source code again.Mikerochip wrote: Thu Apr 16, 2026 9:22 amYeah, same, sorry.

Pgusinit seems to work, but firmware 4.1.0 still crashes on Raven...
The 4.1.0 release of the firmware was removed as it had some severe issues, so would probably be better to stick with 4.0.0 and wait for the next release.luciodra wrote: Mon Apr 20, 2026 7:40 am Pgusinit seems to work, but firmware 4.1.0 still crashes on Raven...
firmware 4.1.0 was pulled as it had too many bugs. It is no longer available on the PicoGUS Github releases. v4.0.0 is the latest stable firmware at the moment. There are ongoing updates being done on the PicoGUS code which I am currently monitoring. All PGUSINIT updates have been done so far and are in Raven060 pgusinit-3.9.0a
