Maximum current you can supply to chip is 1mA.\n2. Out of 5 mux channels, 2 are for power, and you're left with 3. if the CoB needs clk from rp2350, then you're left with 2 IOs. (i didn't have time to read the whole thread, so I'm assuming you need more IO's to do the test?)\n\nThis makes me wonder if we could have a single IO interface for on-chip testing. Instead of developing custom test harnesses for each chip, wafer.space could provide a standard test interface, and chip designers implement their own on-chip test logic.\n\nre: temps - I haven't tested it outside 25-35 range.
