    Successful data recovery of broken eMMC chip MCU1

    The problem seemed to be tied to me using the sd slot in the laptop. When i connected the AllSocket to a usb Sd reader i got a different Message: Maybe now its more about tuning the voltage. Ive only soldered wires to vcc, GND, dmc, CLK and dat0. The workshop i did this at got closed down...

    Successful data recovery of broken eMMC chip MCU1

    Today i got a AllSocket reader the sd version with a 1uf cap from the manufacturer installed. I connected cmd, CLK and d0 lines to the reader, and vcc/GND to a power supply. When i turn the PS on, it draws 1.06A at 2.8v. When i try to dmesg in terminal i get this: This is the setup im...

    Successful data recovery of broken eMMC chip MCU1

    Hi everyone. I got remote help to read out the emmc of my tegra today. The helper left me stranded with a bunch of files:: Car, car.key, gateway.cfg, mcu_commands_key, mmcblk0.pt, mmcblk0p1.sqfs, mmcblk0p2.sqfs, mmcblk0p3.a, mmcblk0p3.b, mmcblk0p3.ext4, run-heartbeats, syslog, tesla1 and...

    Thats Great, so in theory you could boot a MCU with a different tegra than the original if yiu dont connect the IC? Do you know where the gw is located? I know there is some ethernet cabling between the IC and MCU but im not sure of the gw placement. Im sorry to hear you had an unfortunate...

    Does anyone know if the fw version of the car is stores somewhere on the motherboard which the cid is attached to, or only on the cid? Could one use a bench MCU and put in a cid from a different car? Im my interpritstion the fw version is store on the cid and the oc, but i could be wrong?

    Nice! Keep us updated! The mentioned sd reader Costs about 9usd around here, cheap! Im very cautious to desolder the flash as it has already caused Black screen on the car it was used in and im starting to Wonder if this is why its not responding. This is a donor MCU i aquired. I really want...

    Successful data recovery of broken eMMC chip MCU1

    Im always powering vcc with an external PS set to 2.8v, never through the jtag or sd adapter. The sd adapter gives out a cmd level of 5-0v, ill try to make a divider and get it close to 2.8v. If not im sort of running out of options and might just desolder the chip and try it in a reader...

    Successful data recovery of broken eMMC chip MCU1

    Im not sure what you mean by "usb3 under usb2" Word42? The SD reader is USB 3.0, i've been trying to read it on Linux and not windows. Maybe it expects 5v logic, when i put a logic analyzer to it the cmd signal swings from 5v to almost 0v.

    I see your point, i also noticed the difference in component placing on the CDI pcb. Although i think there are only small differences, and the pins seem to correspond equaly despite the different placements. I made a quick comparison of the two photos you posted and tried to circle in what i...

    Thank you, i'll fetch a SD card adapter tomorrow and see if i can get that working, cs was very clear on that part in comparision to the tool i bought.

    Successful data recovery of broken eMMC chip MCU1

    Could my eMMC just be completely toast? MCU wont light up the display so im assuming it already has some corruption issues. Could this maybe be the reason it wont be detected?

    Successful data recovery of broken eMMC chip MCU1

    By DI i asume you mean data in, as in Miso(master in, slave out) ? And d0 as mosi(master out, slave in) ? What pin on the AllSocket do you use as CS? I tried checking out the pins but cant see any pin labeled cs on the AllSocket reader? Vcc and GND should be fine as power supply draws 750mA at 2.7V

    I just tried this with two different methods. First off i tried to pull down the d3 connection towards 0v. This had no effect, then i tried to use the CMD line and connect it to d3, still nothing. Am i taking a wrong approach here? Im getting nowhere :(

    Would the pin outs would be equal to what ive done here if i used a AllSocket reader?

    Hello again guys! I've been at this now for a few hours, at first i tried pin connections to the shown pinouts but no luck. I then decided to solder the points firmly so i would be sure to get a good connection. I bought a Easy Jtag Z3X Plus reader with ISP. I've now tried to read out from...

    Thank you everyone for great additions to this wealth of knowledge. One quick question, does anyone here know what the connections circled in red are? Is this an additional GND and VCC connection point?

    Sorry, i have a bad habit of calling storage space (flash etc.) for memory. By CID do you mean Instrument cluster, or the daughterboard on the tegra motherboard containing CPU/ flash? Let's say i put my own cars daughterboard into this donor MCU, will there be code-signing when i dont have...

    Its a used MCU which had Black screen. Owner took it to SC and they managed to boot it. Owner decided to swap because of symptom even if it booted. So i bought it off him to experiment on. Maybe the memory tipped over the last point and failed? Im planning swap out the memory any ways so its no...

    Alright, so power was the reason it didnt turn on. I got ahold of a more powerful supply, and now it boots into "idle" i think. I see lots of activity on the LEDS on the motherboard, but so far i havent been able to get the screen to turn on. Is this because of abovementioned lacking ethernet...

    No i havent connected via diag port, im assuming you mean the special connector type between IC and MCU, or the diag port on drivers side? Is there a handy guide to this ive overlooked?

    I tried to peek though the MCU Cage but couldnt see any leds light up. Next step is to open it up and double check for led lights. The power supply is in parallell config in the picture, and is able to deliver right over 6A 12v. I do not have a IC hooked up, its only the MCU. Would full emmc...

    Hi everyone. I tried to boot my MCU on the Bech today. I gave +12v to pin 7 and 8 on the Grey x426 connector and GND to pin 9 and 10 on the Black x425 connector. Nothing happens, any ideas?

    No, you need files from the flash drive in your OEM MCU that is specific to your car.

    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    Thank you for clearing that up! I've visited that github page recently, but didn't see any clear answers to weather i could power up the MCU without the IC as i've heard there is a firmware compability check between them when it boots up. The salvage yards here all charge $1500 for a MCU no...

    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    Ive been offered a swapped out MCU from a friend that is close to emmc failure for 1200 bucks. Im curious if its possible to boot the MCU on a Bech without a IC connected to it? Has anyone tried supplying +12v to pin 7 and 8 on the Grey x426 connector and GNF to pin 9 and 10 on the x425...

    Im a bit confused when you say pin dD, what pin are you referring to here? Im in the process of planning emmc swap out for my own car, whst pins are actually connected/used to ie. AllSocket to get the data out?

    Id have to do some research here, but they could be able to see via diagnostic the size of the flash drive? I doubt they do look for it, but in my eyes it shouldnt be much work.

    Thanks for your reply Widodh!
