Dreambox 500 - JTAG Information

[JYAPGR]

so you connect 18 and 25 of 18 to 25,,i have seen tutorials where they are all connected but the picture in the post above has just the two connected,i am c
confused

Hello ,

You have to short all the pins together in a row . <18-19-20-21-22-23-24-25> this is the ground and just one cable
from those soldered pins goes to DM500s 16 pin .
Follow my guide above step by step .Your clone DM500s will be
fixed after then.

thanks john,will try that,what also confused me that in some guides theres a resistor and wire connected to pin 13 instead of 11

11 --> 100 ohms --> 1 ( Tdo )

I successfully connected and brought my DM500 back to life following all the steps highlighted in the forum using one of the blimg file with a good MAC address. I now have power and the boox turn on fine. Thank you all.

I still have one problem I can't resolve however, and that is the fact that I can't connect via the netwrok to the box. My Control Center software fails to see the box on the network or connect to the box although the LAN light is green on my router. Is there a fix for this? if someone can point me to where the steps are to correct this it would very appreciated.

Any one able to help on the LAN connection for my dreambox above?

I dont know if you can install the image with a network connection, i updated with a rs232 cable after the jtag operation.

Hi quick question about the jtag cable and connections for my broken clone dm500s.

I've read in the forums people just connecting pin 25 to 16 on the dreambox and others shorting pins 18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25 to port 16 on the Dreambox.

Which approach should I use when making the cablw for the dm500s?

Thanks

Hello ,

Some questions 1st.
Dm500 LeDs are turn on ? Have you disconnect the jtag cable ?

Hello ,

Be patient , try to short your flat cable to 10- 15cm .The correct pin is 11.

Describe me INTEL flash memory chip type .

Probably you do not follow my guide so this one is tricky to connect .You have to press connect button first and almost the same time put the power plug . You have to try it many times .

You have to follow my guide . It work 100% but it depend from the intel chip .

Hi there, I had exactly the same problem with the command line version of JTAG. It erased the flash but would not upload the new bootloader. I used the Windows version of JTAG in the end. It took loads of attempts to connect, getting the timing right between powering on the Dreambox and hitting the JTAG connect button but I got there in the end and re-flashed successfully with the Windows JTAG version.

Give it another go.
