DM600 anyone used a JTAG on it? serial and ethernet are dead

[quantum]

Hey,
I have a Chinese DM600C. Since I got it, the network and serial ports never worked. I can pick up freeview channels, so I know the tuner does work.
Has anyone got any idea how I can reflash it?

I have tried copying the the .nfi image on a CF card, and sticking an IDE to CF adapter on the box,I can then view the file in tuxbox commander. Does someone know if i can unpack the nfi through tuxbox?

Failing that i'm willing to build a jtag cable. Does anyone have a guide?

Thanks.

Here is a guide on how to make a jtag cable..Digital Kaos - Downloads - How to Make a JTAG cable

Sounds like that box is a pile of crap,, how much did you pay for it and out of interest from who/where......

yeh i know it a pile of crap! I got it from china, I cant remember who from. I told them i'd buy a container load if they gave one free sample. course the sample they gave was a load of crap, so i can imagine their standard is pretty low. I have also done this to get a 500c clone from a different company which is still working fine.

ive seen that cable before, but i dont have the pinout for the 600c or software. Is the software/pinout the same as the 500c? There is plenty of stuff out there for the 500 series.

seeing as it cost me nothing I gave up on it. But i just built a jtag cable for a wifi router earlier this week, so that inspired me to bring it out of the cupboard and maybe give it another go.

No the pinouts are not the same from the info i can find... will see what i can find for you..

not sure m8 sounds like a hardware fault. one thing u could do though is install barry allen on the cf card then try installing a nfi image that way prob a ball ach this way but better than nothing i suppose

cheers

You would be better off flashing a image with dreamup & a null modem cabel

It's a pity the ethernet ports not working as you could have flashed it using the second stage boot loader and a web browser - ahhh well never mind m8.
