First PDF is deleted. And As I understand from second one, we can reprogram flash via serial link.
But we don't know how to do it. We also make it via 11->4->68 option which let us down to linux shell.
Is that program uses that way or another?
It's easy to understand that via eavesdropping the update process but it requires that application.

Re: software upgrade
Yes yes, It looks like tv supporting In-System Programming protocol. I wanted to try to read/write flash area on my TV. But this requires special MStar JIG Hardware...
As I understand, TV's PC Connection DSUB used as JIG port. I don't heard it before, Is it synonym for JTAG? If we identify the required pins, than we could reprogram this TV from JTAG protocol

MStar is not used in current board, however I'm not sure, I found reference over some other diagrams I think. But don't remember right now.erdem_ua wrote:Yes yes, It looks like tv supporting In-System Programming protocol. I wanted to try to read/write flash area on my TV.

Re: software upgrade
I just bought Arduino Duemilanove. Will try to inspect DSub connection if there is a JTAG port. I guess that that MicroStar thing is also JTAG compatible.
If we have JTAG access to board, than probably upload/download firmware images with it. So could revive every bricked TV with it

B series are not MicroStar, however might be compatible, who knowserdem_ua wrote:I just bought Arduino Duemilanove. Will try to inspect DSub connection if there is a JTAG port. I guess that that MicroStar thing is also JTAG compatible.

Re: software upgrade
Here are many schematics, docs and software (XP Only) to build both Samsung and LG JIG:
2 softwares are available: 1 is able to flash and another is able to adjust via JIG interface:
MStar ISP Utility V4.0.8.6 (FLASH SOFTWARE)
IIC ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM (ADJUST SOFTWARE):
There is also a scheme on how to connect JIG to PC:
I have not so much technical abilities to build one but maybe someone can try it.
All of that can be downloaded here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/9qx3tv
Other info here: http://monitor.espec.ws/section11/topic37230.html
Other software here: http://www.eserviceinfo.com/index.php?w ... NG+softjig

Re: software upgrade
wow thanks for the info. I was looking for something exactly like this for testing on my broke mainboard. very interesting read nonetheless and very nice coming up with the schematics and software
Re: software upgrade
I have this xls file with some soft (click on icon) and descriptions. Hope this helps you somehow.
