FlexBV FREE Edition - Modern Boardview software for Win, macOS and Linux

[inflex]

Was just wondering if there was an ARM64 build of this for Apple Silicon? For now the Intel version seems to work fine. Thanks!

No plans as yet given that the Rosetta variant is working okay. Certainly at some point I'll see if I can generate a universal-binary but for now it's x86.

Regards, Paul.

I wanted to try the FlexBV demo, but I got stuck on the Generation page... and I didn't receive any mail.
is it still possible to try it?

This new version is fantastic. I can't believe that you added the window box to the free version as well. You are the man Paul !!

I was in two minds about that; though I figured that the free edition doesn't have the butterfly mode so there's no real harm in at least letting people experience the convenience of the new MiniMap feature and hopefully help encourage people to go for a full purchase.

Thanks for posting.

just press space. I like that it's back right away, it's individual but switching with space is a good idea...

Thanks. I peeked into hot keys options. So it's <space> <m> <.> <.>

I was thinking about how to run Boardviewer in Linux but suddenly I spotted this brand new FlexBV FREE Edition in searching result. So I decided to give it a try. Many thanks!
What is interesting that the program shows a PCB back side (.fz). So every time it's necessary to flip and mirror (the same is in the OpenBoardView). Is there a workaround or an option in the settings to show the front side at once?

I really like Flexbv free, but I would like to know if you plan to sell access for more than a month, 3 months, six months or a year to the full version?
And the paid version also includes a catalog of all MacBook boards (schematics, BRD)?

FlexBV isn't a subscription licence system. You buy a full licence, you own it perpetually.

As for a catalogue off boardviews etc, that's legally not possible for me, as much as I would love to, it would result in near instant death from above by Apple's lawyers and who ever else.

Hi Paul, this post about recent upgrades seems to be in the future. Is this what you intended? Great work by the way!!

Can you link the schematic for this board? (only if it is posted in the schematic forum)

Also, can you share the 2 resistor values that are on the ACDET line? Need the high side and low side resistor values. You can measure the resistance to ground on ACDET and the measurement should be close to the low side of the resistor value. If not, then the capacitor is affecting the resistance. For now, leave the capacitor in circuit but we may have to review these resistors.

Do you have a stable 19v5 as the input to the logic board? This voltage does not drop during use?

Yes, 19v5 stable.

I've on ACDET PR1032 with 38 kohm and PR1031 with 38 kohm measure to ground
If I measure resistor PR1032 I have 49 kohm and on PR1031 247 kohm, on schematic I should have on PR1031 430 kohm
