Just use pogo pins like in bdm, no need to solder and no problem with housing

**carmageddon** · 20th July, 2015, 01:11 PM

why solder pads if you have bdm frame?

you have other issue on the PCB
use an multimeter to see if you have connectivity between FTDI and USB plug of the tool.

If your FTDI is OK
than near to USB plug you have one small device marked with U46

Change it and your tool will be seen again by the PC!

For MMUN2113LT1(6C) in my board i use NXP PDTA144ET because i didnt find it , and works very good !

**tango** · 23rd July, 2015, 11:12 PM

farrnell shows that as the alternative to buy instead of the MMUN2113LT so should work ok as its the same ratings

**mbtun** · 24th July, 2015, 01:02 AM

PDTA144ET it's working but there are other online shops who also have MMUN2113LT. Try with mouser.com
