Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: sparclinux@vger.kernel.org I was just sitting here at 5:56am PST looking around my bedroom when my SPARCserver 1000E caught my eye. I got it from a guy who's wife was making him clean out the garage. I've never had any real Sun equipment (I did have a little MicroSPARC box that was made by someone other then Sun but I never got the chance to fire it up). I'd really like to get this unit up and running with all of it's processors fired up. For whatever reason I decided to pull it apart. After I removed the front covers I found what I assume is an EEPROM reset button and a DB25 connector on the control board (part 501-1979). Wondering what the connector could be for I searched the web for it's board label (J0101) and found that it is a JTAG port. What does this have to do with all of you? Well I know that there are a couple of people (William Lee Irwin and C. Newport) that were working on getting the sun4d line to boot in SMP mode and I thought that access to the main JTAG might just help with that. I appologize for the noise if everyone already knows the above information or if it is of no help. --adam
