It might work. You should check it by yourself and tell us abut (un)success

hello,
i'm a newbie on the domain but have read these threads for hours,
sorry for my probably bad english, i'm french.
i have an ue40c6000 with val6deuc 1016 firm.
i saw there is a work on progress to root this firm to access samba shares in particular.
the ex-link cable for my tv has to be build for vga connector, isn't it ?
but i also saw that the possibility through serial debug console are very limited.
So, my question : is the ex-link cable of any interest for this model/firmware ?

thanks

...still me...

to be complete, if the answer to my preceding question is positive :
i can't understand what to do with the +3.3V pin of a 'USB To TTL / COM Converter Module' device i can find on ebay, no more than, i understand why the +5V supply input of the wiki device...
could anyone explain this to me ?
thanks

So, if I connect directly from the USB to RS232 adapter directly into VGA connector of the TV it will not broke? What are the pins? on the VGA that work for the serial console? (RS232 and VGA are not the same connector).
