Looking for a chinese bench power supply with open source firmware
cedric!:
Hi All,
I would like to buy a bench power supply from china. I'm looking for a model that has been reverse engineered, and can therefore be re-flashed with open source firmware.
So far I've found "opendps", open firmware for these PSU's:
DPS5005 Uin:6-55V Uout:0-50V Iout: 0-5A Pout: 250W
DPS3003 Uin:6-40V Uout:0-32V Iout: 0-3A Pout: 96W
DPS3005 Uin:6-40V Uout:0-32V Iout: 0-5A Pout: 160W
DPS5015 Uin:6-60V Uout:0-50V Iout: 0-15A Pout: 750W
DP50V5A Uin:6-55V Uout:0-50V Iout: 0-5A Pout: 250W
DPS5020 Uin:6-60V Uout:0-50V Iout: 0-20A Pout: 1000W

EEVblog #1265 - $53 360W Lab Bench PSU!
Are there other PSU's with open firmware?

Obviously your desire is the Riden open source firmware - does not exist yet.
The mega thread on Riden is here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/ruideng-riden-rd6006-dc-power-supply/
Alternative firmware images posted frequently, however you can not build it from source. I won't comment on how those images might have came about.

Why specifically Chinese? https://www.crowdsupply.com/envox/eez-h24005

I can't buy that one. (Not even when I'm willing to spend 399+18 dollars to buy a complete kit.)
Chinese is not a requirement. Cheap and open firmware is. (Cheap electronics usually have awful firmware)

If the source is not available, or not complete, can we call it open source?
I am very hesitant to buy something without the ability to change the firmware myself.
