Title: Unable To Jtag Swisscom
Post by: Berend on March 21, 2006, 01:04:25 pm

I finally did it, I bricked my Swisscom CL4.  

I re-flashed blupdater.img, to make sure it was that bootloader that I was using, and directly after that I uploaded the image Fred (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18374) provided. Then I booted... Maybe that was stupid and I probably should have reset after uploading the bootloader. Anyway, the thing started booting, ran out of memory and halted. And now, aside from the recharching led and a brief flash of the backlight when it's turned on, it's dead.

I already had a JTAG cable and connectors soldered (~30cm, flatcable, 200Ohm resistors at JTAG connector), and I used both:
 - The JTAG openwince-jtag deb package (0.5.1) and openwince-include deb
 - Compiled JTAG 0.4 with the includes provided at openwince.sourceforge.net/includes

and tried:
jtag> cable ppdev /dev/{lp*,par*} DLC5
jtag> cable parallel 0x378 DLC5

Nothing, can't init the thing, tried it on an Ubuntu and Debian Sarge box. I suspect Sascha (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16802) was right, perhaps the Swisscoms can't be JTAG'ed?

Just a warning

I jtagged 2 Swisscoms alright, no problem, used:

cable parallel 0x3bc DLC5
detect

Make sure which parallel port adress your host computer uses, in my case it is 0x3bc instead of the standard 0x378!

Hey Digi,

dmesg told me it was 0x378, but alas.. You gave me some hope though, so I tried again. Fiddled a bit in the BIOS and yes, it works now! Wohoo

I'm not sure if the alternate BIOS settings add something, but I did have to start JTAG as superuser.I tried this yesterday, but it didn't seem to work then. BIOS is now set from ECP+EPP mode to 'normal', and I also changed the adress from 0x378 to 0x278.

thanx, I almost buried it!

Code: [Select]

jtag> cable parallel 0x278 DLC5
Initializing Xilinx DLC5 JTAG Parallel Cable III on parallel port at 0x278
