Linkstar MaskROM mode works with USB A-C cable, and not C to C

Products & Technology Complaints and Suggestions

Hi Folks,

Please add to the OS installation instructions for Linkstar: Many computers will not support the Linkstar in MaskROM mode from their USB C connectors. USB A connectors on the same computers work fine. So, a USB A to C cable is necessary on these computers.

This may even be the case for ALL computers.

It’s an issue of the 5V power not being provided the way the Linkstar expects it.
