JTAG PINS for vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
Has anyone looked into finding the debug/jtag pins/port?
I have a 100% bricked vibrant here. Someone gave me. I want to start to look into it. Looking for some help.
New pics up using a tri-pod.

Doing some searching around I found the CPU is a S5PC110 and i found a dev-board.

What are those?

It's what you use to fix/base flash bricked phones.

How the hell did you get a 100% bricked vibrant I didnt think they existed.

Doubt it is bricked. Maybe hardware dead, but not bricked.
Unless he tested something for you that you were not willing to test.

I had one as well, but it was my fault, I clicked "repartition" on Odin. I couldn't find a fix so I exchanged it within the 14 days.

They exist... I had one... Wouldn't power on at all..
No recovery
No download
No vibrant screen

Nice. Please do. Then we can finally settle what chip is running and if there is FM hardware or not. Hope you have a nice camera! I want HUGE and close pics
BTW, what you think the odds are the usb doubles as jtag? Briefly going through all the code, I could have sworn I saw stuff related to ttyS0, baud rates and all. Maybe just need the right pinout.

Would be interesting. Im going to take the pics as soon as i can. its weekend. prob monday or tuesday.
if you think it works as TTY. Its possible. I dont see any pins on the boards. Thats why i asked.

JTAG and serial console are different things. jtag won't show in the kernel, it is a physical set of pins for direct access to the cpu and/or flash.
The serial console might be available via usb (eg on the g1 it is, with a custom cable) but it is only helpful for kernel debugging - if a kernel is broken, but not too broken, you can get logs out of it while it starts up..

---

Ok. I made an attempt at taking the pics. This is my first time to do macro shots
If anyone can give me suggestions to make better. Let me know.

Indeed. But seeing the tty stuff in the kernel just made me think that if the usb can double as a serial port, it might also double (triple?) as an easy to reach jtag port. Then again, I dunno how many cables a jtag needs. iirc, microusb has 5.

MOD, Why were these two threads moved? These are DEV threads. not Gerneal threads. Please move them back.
Thanks!

They don't actually read threads before moving them.. cm6 trolling bs is in dev, but all the active dev threads are getting moved..

The only thing developed in these threads were pictures...

Which would be used by a general user? I dont think so. Why the hell would they care the inside. LOL
These pictures were meant for hardware people. To give ideas.
