Background information
This page will cover Monolith pin out, how it functions, how to communicate with a device over it, and where to find the pads.
Monolith storage refers to any storage that is completely built into a singular PCB often inencased in plastic, for example a SD card,
The only way to reasonably access the data on these devices is to solder directly to the pin on the back of the PCB by removing the plastic
and locating the correct pins to access the storage within the device,
require subscriptions to services provided by ACElab or RUsolut, otherwise singular pinouts can be bought from 3rd party vendors or AliExpress
while pins layout typically specific to each model, useful pins for data recovery are as follows
1. Vcc,
2. GND,
3. CLE,
4. RE,
5. CE,
6. ALE,
7. WP,
8. WE,
9. RB,
10. D0-D7
