DSerial Edge
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." (source)
For DSerial² information go to DSerial2.
For original DSerial information go to DSerial.
Features
- Complete Slot-1 solution based on 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.

DSerial Edge Components
DSerial Edge uses ICs that require very few external components.
| Symbol | Package | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MCU | LQFP-32 | Silicon Laboratories C8051F34A USB microcontroller |
| LED1, LED2 | 0805 | Status LEDs |
| R3, R4 | 0603 | current-limiting resistors (around 47 Ohm) |
| C6 | 0603 | 0.1uF ceramic capacitor (decoupling cap for MCU) |
DSerial Edge provides the following connectors.
| Symbol | Number of contacts | Description |
|---|---|---|
| USB | 6 | Mini USB connector |
| IO1 | 12 | First IO connector |
| IO2 | 12 | Second IO connector, contains UART0 and UART1 |
| PROG | 4 | Programming connector (for initial microcontroller programming) |
| DS SLOT | 17 | DS Slot connector |
Schematic
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Message "EDGE.DAT tidak menemukan!" appears | Insert a microSD card with 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 manufacturing process. This is a standard maintenance procedure for a slot-based card. |
