Corona V3 - RGX - Postout fix

[mat989]

If the debug LED after awhile stops blinking, the postout and cpu_rst voltage is not fluctuating (0V), does this mean the system did glitch?! No video output, and I did not notice the rolling LEDs.

 

[gazcoigne]

if you have no HDMI in you wont get rolling LED's

hook up ethernet cable and check your router for attached devices if you have no TV nearby.

XeLL doesn't need ANY Video connection to boot.

 

[mat989]

HDMI is attached...I will hook the Ethernet an see...

*edit*
I hooked ethernet, after 1-2 minutes, the green LED stops blinking, no video through HDMI or component. I did notice two IPs in the roruter status, but I am not sure if any belongs to xbox since I don't knows its MAC address...

 

[Oggy]

If only there was a UART protocol we could utilise.

Maybe we could poll the IP addresses specified in the router? Perhaps we could get nick to add a function to j-runner that will do it for us, until then, should we use IR, Chrome, Firefox?

 

[Martin C]

If you have the RoL cycle, XeLL has booted.

Use the SCAN IP function in J-Runner after 30 secs.

 

[mat989]

No rolling LEDs, debug is not blinking, the recognized IPs in the router are not responding... I thought I could hook something up and get some simple readings just to see if it did glitch. xboxhacker is down, so I am not sure if one of the old hex files in a nand reader might help. Never tried that, and I am not sure if it is even possible. Are you aware if I can use the rater with RGX 1.1?

Moved to noob section.

So there's no J-Runner output, no details on what timing files you've tried, whether the console still boots ok as stock, WHY you soldered to the pads on a 16MB NAND console or what POST lengths you've tried.

Please complete the information.

 

[mat989]

I used RGX Corona C, Did try other postout lengths... However, this debug LED stopping I thought might indicate a successful glitch since it occurs randomly or the system did hang. The power button is still functioning, however the middle green LED is not blinking even while glitching. I will flash stock nand later and report back...Although I am sure no issues with it...

thnx

 

[Martin C]

The middle button only blinks on consoles when there's no DVD present and not a Corona.

It's not glitching, that's the long and short of it.

 

[Oggy]

You can post log using any chip, or you could piss into the wind.

OK, it is not glitching totally...alright I will look in to that...

Sorry did not get either... post log using any chip? you mean can I use the rater with RGX, or just software logs like XeBuild and JRunner?

The 2nd part, excuse me I don't know what it means totally.

 

[Oggy]

RATER is a scoring system, why would you want to score a console that isn't glitching? JRunner monitored POST well before RATER utilised it.

Go outside next time you need a piss, face into the wind, proceed to urinate. Then think again about what I mean.

 

[Martin C]

More importantly, it's a v3 Corona.

 

[mat989]

OK! last night the system was booting w/o issues. Now, after removing everything the system gives red dot. However, this might be important just like the "When you think" comment earlier, a kid in the street started talking upon the red dot! so, do you think the little kid, his father, his family, the neighborhood, the world is responsible... or just my faulty work?!

 

[Oggy]

I'm not a betting man but....

Sorry, did not get that either. You are the same annoying OggyUK or what exactly?!
