DGS JTAG flash utility

(adapted from relooker’s page on dgs forum)

When the bootloader is corrupted, and there is no way to boot the Relook/Mutant, a JTAG flash can bring your receiver back alive. There is now a JTAG program from DGS that runs on a Windows PC.

Here’s a description of how to use this program with a 200/300/400s:

use the DGS JTAG flash utility. ” />

Get the latest version of Jtag from the download section of the site and install it (eg in c/jtag).

Download: ‘porttalk22.zip’ from http://www.beyondlogic.org.

From this package, copy ‘AllowIo.exe’ into ‘c:\jtag’ and ‘porttalk.sys’ into windows\system32\drivers’

Get the required files: ” />

The pdf file that comes with the jtag program will give you all the settings, etc. Read it first!

For details of how to make your own jtag go tohttp://dev.dgstation.co.kr/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=27&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0.

This will also give more detailed information of what is described here.

Connect jtag to parallel port of pc ” />

Double-click on ‘porttalk.reg’ to register porttalk. Open an cmd Window (Startmenu, run… cmd [1]) Go to folder ‘c:\jtag’ (cd c:\jtag)

On 400s

 Type: AllowIo.exe /a Jtag.exe -m Relook400s

On 300s

 Type: AllowIo.exe /a Jtag.exe -m relook300s

On 200s

 Type: AllowIo.exe /a Jtag.exe -m relook200s
To run the Jtag Program: ” />

After running jtag, you will get a message with ‘ == ‘ signs indicating the progress. If it stops before reaching 100%, try playing with the delay settings or using a shorter cable.

If you haven’t quit your windows session and you want to try to flash again, just type: jtag.exe with all the switches. (You don’t need to start portatalk because it is already running!)

You can now reconnect your box and use usb or serial flash to upload a suitable bootloader (hold power button in on switch on for 400s to get usb upload). You can then flash your image.

If all goes well ” />
