Hardware / Modchip on SMP Rev B boards?
29. Apr 2009, 23:42
Hi everyone,

I've got a BTV box that I'm interested in running Linux (or possibly just playing with WinCE) on. I gather I need a modchip or JTAG interface running to get started.

Having opened up my box and checked the SMP chip it says 0727 Rev B. The wiki doesn't list this exact chip but it seems that the Rev B chips tend to require the JTAG enable line adding.

Exactly how hard is this to do? I am alright with a soldering iron but I can't even see what I'm supposed to be working with. Was looking here:

Alternatively I may just look for a Rev A board on eBay

[edit] Sorry I just realised this really belongs in Hardware - mod feel free to move
