Hi all, did my first R-Jtag a few weeks ago on my Jasper, dips 7,8, & 4, Aud_clamp, 1.2v, 470, have been tweaking for a while with cable lengths and in particular the length and route of the cpu_rst wire. Here are my results. rater.jpg Yesterday I did a falcon, same settings as above, but dip 7. While I was moving the wires I put too much strain on the cpu_rst wire and it pulled off the resistor and the trace. I followed the trace back towards the cpu, about 20mm, and soldered the wire there, but did not replace R8C2 and it works a treat. So this got me thinking, in future why cant I bridge R8C2 and solder the wire to pin 2 on J8C1, I think it would be less prone to pulling off.

I presume that R8C2 is for future implementation, as without anything connected to J8C1, I can see no purpose for it, or am I wrong?

It's a 1k resistor for J8C1.2.

It serves no other purpose as that point doesn't go anywhere else. So feel free to float away the resistor and bridge the points.
