Currently we do not know if there are JTAG-Ports anywhere on the board. Tampakuro is tries to find out the JTAG Port of the LS Pro.

Flash structure

For the LSProV2, here is the output of flinfo while in u-boot:

Directions and Background for JTAG Operations

INCOMPLETE - Do Not Attempt At This Time

• These directions have been tested and checked on a LSProV2, with a Ubuntu 7.10 box (x86) and an Olimex ARM-USB-TINY jtag/usb programmer/debugger. Parallel port debuggers are certainly an option, but will probably yield lower speeds.

Software

See JTAG Software

PPC-based-boxes

How to use the JTAG-Tools

TODO: we need to link + describe either how to compile the tools and how to use the precompiled tools from the download-section

How to use HairyDairyMaids debrick

TODO: adding info about how to use it

TIPS

Flashing the bootloader only

Updating via JTAG is very slow. This is not really surprising as the JTAG protocol is a bit-level serial protocol. Writing the firmimg.bin file can easily take 24 hours or longer.

TODO: because we can flash the firmimg.bin much faster from UBoot
