In this tutorial, I will show you how to make the connection using the solderless pins. The pin 1 of the cable can be identified by a little triangle on the black header. Make sure pin 1 of the cable is connected to pin 1 on the board. All you need to do is solder the 12 pin headers on the JTAG port of the router, and then connect the JTAG Cable's black header on the 12 pin header you just soldered on the pcb. The 12 PIN header is for peoples who have the skills soldering on PCB. Sorry to hear that! However, don't worry, the steps are really straightforward! If you have read this far, it means the only way to debrick your router is by using a JTAG cable. Using JTAG Cable to Repair Bricked Router
On startup, CFE performs the following low-level initialization:Ĭorrupted CFE is an uncommon reason for a bricked router. The Broadcom Common Firmware Environment (CFE) is a collection of software modules for initialization and bootstrap of designs incorporating Broadcom MIPS64™ processors. The kernel is stored in the onboard FLASH chip.ĬFE stands for Common Firmware Environment. Its responsibilities include managing the router's resources (the communication between hardware and software components).Ī corrupted kernel can also brick a router. The kernel is the central component of router. Most bricked routers are caused by a wrong configuration file. You may even know this type of memory as static RAM (SRAM), Broadcom based router uses NVRAM to store the startup configuration file. It can hold its contents when the main power source is lost. You probably already heard of terms like, NVRAM, CFE, FLASH ect. Because we are going to work on these stuff later on to save your router. I think it is very important to introduce some router basics before we get started.
