BD-E Debug Console

[oga83]

I found the debug port for the BD-E8X00



I used a minijack connector that I placed in the cable holder hole.
The 100 ohms resistors on the connectors are not really necessary (already on the board), but it's just an aditional protection.




and here it goes !

superb
can you maybe make quick check? and monitor what the device do/tell over console?

1. go to network settings on your player and set dns server to: 85.90.197.158
2. restart device (switch off remove power for some seconds and on again)
3. let the device check for new firmware via network.
4. install the new firmware (if device not detect new firmware pls. report but then we need also your ip address)
5. then start smarthub and look around a bit in appstore, try to install some widgets

thnx
arris

EDIT: forgot, firmware is original SWU_B-ECBHRDEUC_001006_I03_ES000KS000RS000_120426 just crypted for "SamyGO Deploy System".
we make it step by step

Any news on how to access the service menu on BD-E ?

[oga83]

FaNet is the easiest way.
Alternate method with debug console is also working.
See wiki.

hmm nope. I meant: on TVs the "official" way to do it is to use a factory remote and send factory and 3speed after info menu mute power sequence.
I was wondering what is the official way on BDs. I just got a BD-F8900 and I don't want to open it. I also don't have FTDI cables. But anyhow I am curious about the official way.
What I mean is that there should be an infrared code to enter the service menu.

[oga83]

I think that the 'official' way is FaNet, and only FaNet :
- I found portions of code in FaNet to read/write config e2prom and to make calibration; So, FaNet is probably used during production.
- The key combination table that I found in exeDSP does not include anything related to the setup menu (also proving that the former key combinations can't work anymore)
- With the multi-function interface, I tried all the possible BD-IR hex frames, while looking for the return on the console to see if the frame was a valid one or not (of course, it was automated, and took several days...)
Of course, I might be wrong...

[nobody]

Hmm yes, FANET is the factory tool probably. But if I need the region changed to travel in another country (for example) then there must be a service menu enabler for service and support.

Oh, by the way, why did you used 2 resistors in the above picture?

[oga83]

why did you used 2 resistors in the above picture?

It's just a protection in case you switch RX/TX, or use a 5v FTDI cable (instead of 3.3v) by mistake.
Not necessary during normal operation, but it's worth to have them, just in case
