iLiad JTAG Pinout

[jtag]

Hi,

Is anyone still interested in the pinout of JTAG on the Iliad? I mapped them out, but still have to verify they work. Just want to see if there is demand. The connector is the one that is not connected at the edge of the board. Actually it is a dual connector that is present on both sides of the board, both with the JTAG pins (also for the Xilinx).

[Adam B.]

Pardon the stupid question, (I'm not a hardware guy) but would the jtag port give console output from the kernel as it boots? If so, I think we all would be *very* interested as it would be helpful for a kernel 2.6 port.

[nekokami]

I understand that iRex was somewhat resistant to allowing JTAG access earlier, so I guess this will be an "unsupported" project?

[jharker]

Wow, if that could be used for boot-time output, I think it would be VERY interesting... might be enough to get me into kernel-hacking...

[jtag]

Ah ok, I didn't realize the console uart was worth something too. Actually I just found it is also connected to the flat cable connector on the top. I don't have a level converter handy at the moment. Will post details when I confirmed them.

[jtag]

Attached are two images of the relevant pinouts for JTAG and the console UART. The console UART pins are only available on the front and is configured at 115200 baud.

Thanks for the output, that's very interesting!

I hope this info will be helpful to Kernel hackers trying to port a 2.6 kernel.

[ebookie]

Wow, this is awesome jtag! Nice detective work. I'm guessing those serial lines come out somewhere else too that is a bit easier to connect to perhaps.

Looks like finding the bug in usb.c for various usb sticks should be pretty straightforward if they just use a vanilla version.

--chuck

[jharker]

Wow, this is really fantastic work. This question may be obvious, but do these pinouts come out the physical connecter plug at the base of the iLiad? That is, if I could get another plug like that, could I get this console output if I attach wire leads to the right pins?

This is excellent work that will definitely help with kernel hacking. Wonderful. I can't compliment you enough.

[arivero]

What I am astonished is that you are telling this as if it were trivial, while some months ago we speculated and nobody concluded anything about. Can I bet you have a deep training on embedded systems?

Yeah awesome man! Thanks for the great info...I will be doing some kernel hacking
