| it shouldn't be too hard to put it on the router board, even if you have to solder it. but the whole jtag process... i'm not sure.
check the tftp method before. i managed to unbrick a router by doing that.

Can you tell me the software that is used with this package?
Did it work for you?
Will this work in the case that i flashed the router with the WRONG firmware. As the tjtag method only seems to do a nvram reset and not a firmware .bin reflash. |

The JTAG can be used to debrick anything that got messed up, EXCEPT if the processor has been overclocked incorrectly --> recovering from that is trickier, because the clock speed is set very very early during initialization. It is possible though, by shorting pins on the flash chip temporarily.
I think I used tjtag3-0-1 under Linux. The MS-Windows version didn't work as well when I tried it. This was all 2 years ago. |
