DSerial Edge

DSerial Edge is an I/O adapter for the NDS handheld console.

For DSerial² information go to DSerial2.

DSerial Edge

New Features

  • Boots DS from microSD and microSDHC cards
  • Complete Slot-1 solution
  • 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, since they were under-used on DSerial2.

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.
