Help me find these chips

pathfider1998
pathfider1998 over 7 years ago

These came from two Bluetooth speakers and Google search yielded no results. Both of those speakers have AUX in, TF/SD card playback capability (MP3/WAV, 44100Hz maximum, FAT32), and both of them have messages for Bluetooth search, pair, unpair/connection lost, AUX mode and low battery warning ("the other side hung up" tone from the common telephone line)

 

Details:

Both speakers contain TF/SD card slot, a microphone and an audio jack, with one having two-position switch and "jog wheel" and another having one-position power switch, switched audio jack and a capacitive touch sensor array with anonymous chip on it.

Both speakers have atrocious voice announcements which plays at maximum volume, with one with longer package yelling "ENTER TO BLUETOOTH", "ENTER AUX IN PLAYIN", "BLUETOOTH CONNECTED", and "BLUETOOTH CANCELED" in Chinese accent and QFN package one yelling "BLUE TOOTH MODE", "AUDIO IN PUT", "*stolen notification sound from a phone manufacturer Oppo*", "*stolen sound from Windows 3.1 boot sequence of all places*" in Chinese accent. First one has distinctive compression noise or noise suppression artifact in the background, while the QFN one has what sounds like PWM whine.

 

I have seen what looks like Pi logo on the longer chip on many other speakers, but I can't figure out what company makes these things.

The text reads: "AC1749AP16296-5B4" and this board has round pads with texts: "DP RED DM DAT CLK CMD 3V3"

This chip runs on 24MHz crystal oscillator.

The text reads:

"B6THK16094.1"

"1414ARZ"

It has a place for a crystal oscillator but is not fitted with one (two holes near the ceramic capacitor)

 

image

The text reads

"CW6637M"

"1414D"

"CSTH310052.1"

This chip runs on 25MHz crystal oscillator.

The board has 25D40 EEPROM chip, probably for storing configurations, last connected Bluetooth device name and some sound samples, since all sound samples last for less than 3 seconds each.

 

Like Polaroid feather-light fabric Bluetooth speaker, both of them have some problem with enabling the amplifier at the right timing.

    I don't think its a Pi logo - I think it says JL ! If the speakers are so horrible why do you want the chips ? MK

    This is to reprogram those chips! And the alert sound is terrible but the sound quality is actually pretty decent

    CW6637M is a Bluetooth RF chip. Can't find the others - I don't think you have any chance of getting enough chip data. You might do better to do some searching to see if any one else has cracked this board…

    Just spotted something on the CW6637M description - that funny X like logo is a company called Buildwin - this page may help

    I have extracted the SPI NOR Flash chip from the QFN board. But all my Arduino boards use 5V while the chip uses 3.3V like many others do, so I can't read the details.

    If the chip is not installed, it does not boot up.

    Also, since I can't get the datasheet, I'm very unlikely to be able to figure out if it was true.

    Hmm, those little chips are surprisingly powerful -- The SOP one managed to play some of the higher bitrate MP3s. (48000Hz 320kbps)

    Most SoC aimed at lower-end speakers below $5 (at least what I've seen) stutters when encountering such files.

    Okay, forget about the long chip, it's a lost cause -- but I managed to extract the EEPROM contents of the square chip board.

     

    Here's the entire firmware: Proper_GD25D40.7z — RGhost — файлообменник

    (Sorry for Russian host, it's only file hosting site I know that doesn't require an account)

     

    I found some DirectShow PCM data (of all things) that have voice announcements inside the firmware but NOT "BLUETOOTH MODE" and "AUDIO INPUT" alerts.

     

    I also found the name of the device ("NO-200") but if I try to change it, it reverts to "BW-BTBOX" which seems to be its default name which it uses if it fails its internal check. It does have some sort of CRC value behind but I don't know how it's calculated.
