Sorry dumb question, you wouldn't be saying you were bricked otherwise...
There is most definitely a serial console running on the iLiad /dev/ttyS2.
Someone was poking around the unused pins on the docking connector and found a pin flipping when they pressed the page bar. That work is here somewhere on MR.
The page bar application sends diagnostics out to the console every time you flip the page bar.
Following that logic chain it seems possible that pin is hooked to ttyS2.
If you can get onto that console let us know.
Worst case hacking your USB hub will cost you a new hub and won't violate your iLiad's warranty any worse than it already is.  |
I just pulled the connector apart again and applied the logic probe. Sadly the pin which pulses with the pagebar doesn't do anything when you send data to /dev/ttyS2 - so I don't think that pin is the serial console.
The high impedance pins are, well, high impedance. If they're switchable from software then we're stuffed anyway.
Go on Irex, put us out of our misery...
