How should I learn more about how to do it, what to buy, etc ? I haven't found ChatGPT to be a good teacher about this topic, and in particular re glitching, AI will refuse to discuss specifics

I have enough basic soldering to get UART attached, but not sure what to try after that.

Equipment-wise, I currently just have a few ESP32-C3s and electronics basics kit and some basic soldering stuff.

I flashed coreboot on an x220 once [0], and I think that can give you a good overall idea of how backing up and reprogramming an SPI memory works. From that you could do your own research checking the ICs in your hardware, and extrapolating to the correct tools you will need to read/write the chip you have in mind.

There are plenty of pre-2023 resources out there, especially conference talks. But, Claude has no issues discussing glitching if you have CVP.
