Software / BTvision black box BT's nasty ...

Last post by steve3123 - 12. Apr 2013, 23:16

Hi peeps, i decided to see if i could gain BTfirmware, by hooking up my box to a work BTBB connection with a Btvision account active on it. Got the box to boot up great, interrupted the BB connection and box promptly sulked. Now my Brother has BTvision black box, with a working BTvision account and his box will boot WITHOUT a bt BB connection. His box is running very different firmware to ours and it is running linux. Now for the nasty Bit, we called BTvision's ''help'' line to explain that we had bought a box on ebay so he could use it as multiroom, (BT dont support this but lots of people do it) so we gave them the box mac code and everything else the tech asked for so we could download the latest firmware for it.  Tried to convince the box on more than one occasion to download the latest firmware, and all it does it reload the windows CE. When explained this to the ''vision tech'' his response was, only boxes linked to the account will get the new firmware which allows the box to boot without the BB connection and allows an epg over the air. When asked why, the response we got was ''We know there are lots of unused vision boxes out there, thus having them still locked to our system will mean people will have to come back to BT to get the box to work''
So it seems that to get the latest firmware that allows the box to boot and run without a BB connection to BT, would be to get a box already ''opened'' on the new firmware. The vision tech did say off the record that eventually all the black BTvision boxes would be unlocked as they are going to be un workable when they start streaming everything over fiber, and totally moving over to youview.

I believe the bcm range of chips can have the jtag interface "passworded" so it will only unlock with a certain command / key sequence.

I did have a poke around with a bcm7335, which would only give a response when set to jtag mode, and I got nothing with Ejtag mode. (there are jumpers to select).

By spec, if jtag device has IDCODE then its mandatory for the register to be loaded when tap is reset.  If no IDCODE than BYPASS register is loaded.  This means TDI is not needed to read IDCODE, but other tap commands will not work.

Btw in my previous post I meant to say TDO in ejtag mode .

In jtag mode you can read IDCODE, but nothing else...which leads me to believe TDI is disabled.
In ejtag mode output from TDI is always 1.[/quote
if the JTAG were disabled, I would not EVEN be able to read  IDCODE, I think.And what if the Broadcom's CPU only response in a NON standard ways?

The full datasheet and bcm97405 development board schematics can be found on web. 
It can be configured for three different modes via stapping resistors. 
In normal mode output from TDO is always 0.
In jtag mode you can read IDCODE, but nothing else...which leads me to believe TDI is disabled.
In ejtag mode output from TDI is always 1.

YMMV, its possible the manufacturer of your device did not disable the debug module, or blow any OTP fuses.

Has anyone tried to use  JTAG with  Broadcom 7405 or 7401 chips?

What gpu chipset you use?...I am using gtx460.

smd515 uses 2.7.147.0 mrua, is there chance that compiling sample apps from different mrua(2.7.127.0) will run on smd515?

Success. Linux on the x300t, playing a mp3 file. With sound !!!!

I see you have great siccess with linux.
Cool Job !
Unfortunately I'm not .
I booted diferent distribution of Linux but there isn't  any audio or video.
Could you explain where I can get working linux kernel drivers em8xxx.ko, llad.ko for 2.6.15 and coresponding xloads.

Turns out the password is hashed with md5crypt.  Gonna take a while to crack it.

i'm trying it with hashcat (http://hashcat.net)

someone on hashcat IRC cracked it...
