Quick question: Is the JTAG header live or do I need to bridge any SMD resistor pads under the metal cover like some other models? The wires I attached are 24ga solid copper from standard CAT-5 cable. Pinpoint tip and a very tiny bit of silver filled flux. Stripped the insulation about 1/8" higher than where it was soldered, then slipped it down the wire until it met close to the PCB. No shorts here. I measure about 1M ohm from 3,5,7,9 to ground.
According to my resarches on the web in spring, I've found no evidence, that you'll need to bridge any resistors. Just solder the wires into the pin-header and connect them to a JTAG-adapter.

Altera USB Blaster finally came today. Had to add a /etc/udev rule in order to enable it. Made up some labels for the pinouts. It seems to talk but hangs.
Code:
~$ openocd -f interface/altera-usb-blaster.cfg

Seems to me it found the target. Don't know why it's asking me to define it.
EDIT: Reading the docs a bit more I arrive at

So, I've edited MAC and SN in the cfe_e4200_V1.bin I downloaded from https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=889394 using ghex. Took a bit but I learned the last group of numbers at the bottom of the SN/MAC tag is the WPS PIN, which really doesn't matter because you couldn't pay me to use WPS anyway.
Now if I could only get it to do something more than just listen. Like, oh I don't know, respond maybe?

Well, with as much as I have spent on birthday and Christmas presents to myself this year to make up for all of the COVID gloom, no worries! Good luck!
Well, Kernel, with as much time as I have spent beating my head against a wall trying to put together a target config file that would allow me to talk to this thing with JTAG, I give up. DM me your address and I will send you a gift. Else it's dumpster food.
Happy new year anyway!

Okay I'll throw it up for grabs. Anyone want a challenge? I'll send you my e4200 for free. Already has serial header pins and JTAG wires attached. Just DM me an address.
