DSerial Edge is an I/O adapter for the Nintendo DS handheld console. It's not compatible with Nintendo DSi. But there is a workaround: "Currently DSerial EDGE won't boot on a DSi but you can use one of the DSi compatible cards to boot and then swap to DSerial." ([http://forums.devkitpro.org/viewtopic.php?p=2564#p2564 source])

For DSerial² information go to [[DSerial2]].

For original DSerial information go to [[DSerial]].


=== Features ===
* Complete Slot-1 solution based on [http://www.edge-ds.cn/?lang=en&page=news EDGE]
* 18 I/O pins, digital and analog
* 2 x UARTs
* 48MHz improved performance with C8051F34A microcontroller
* Remote debugging via GDB and devkitARM (to be released)

Note: RS232 level converter and accelerometer were removed from older models, since they were under-used on DSerial2.

|-
| Message "EDGE.DAT tidak menemukan!" appears || Insert a microSD card with [[Downloads|EDGE.DAT]]. If it doesn't help, reseat the microSD card a few times to make sure the contact is good.
|-
| DSerial Edge is not detected by NDS or works intermittently || Clean the 17 contacts using a toothpick. Make sure that the toothpick is not sharp by cutting off its tip with a knife. There might be some dirt or residue due the [http://www.steroidsbuy.com/ steroids buy] manufacturing process. This is a standard maintenance procedure for a slot-based card.
