Jtag Off option? Why?

[roden]

Hi all, i just ordered NAND-X with QSB for my second box, i have one already with a cygnos and didnt want to take that route again as it was a nightmare.

Anyway i was just wondering, what is the point of having the option to disbale the jtag if its installed by switch?, i mean i understand what changing the resisotr ohm values are for, but why have the option to turn it off?.

Once we have Jtagged MS know right, so what can be gained by disabling it after?

If someone needed to turn off the JTAG off for what ever reason whether it was testing or needed to put on the original NAND and use it for any purpose sure an OFF switch would be handy rather than de-solder the whole thing!!!

Why not have an off switch? More options are better.

Still dont see the point lol, anyway...

lets say your getting e79, your not 100% sure if its a bad block on the nand bad flash or a console error, to test it we flash back to original dump and turn off the jtag side of things and hey it boots, no need to de solder then resolder, just use the off switch.

HTH
