An MC1489 will cost you about 25 cents. Here's a SB5100 with one mounted: . .You only need to monitor the Tx line out of the DCM425 to accomplish the flashing.

It has a level shifting chip on it such as a MAX232 or MAX233 that converts the voltages to ttl levels. You only have to hook this up to monitor the console (UART) output so you know when to short the flash pins and put the modem into emergency state. The actual programming is done over the ethernet cable via tftp. radio tubes what are you grounding on for the pins??? is it a flash chip not the ram chip right??

Pin 7 on the MC1489 is ground. On my example, I bent the pin over and found a convenient ground point on the board. I then soldered the pin to the ground point Here's a schematic of the circuit I drew for the SB5100 / MC1489 connections. This gives you a serial console output as drew mentioned in another thread. RE: Thompson/RCA DCM425C Flashing -- Linux snmp bash script - usitsupport - 30-08-2012 This is my DCM425, where is the serial port? I have fried one USB TTL already. RE: Thompson/RCA DCM425C Flashing -- Linux snmp bash script - drewmerc - 30-08-2012 RE: Thompson/RCA DCM425C Flashing -- Linux snmp bash script - usitsupport - 31-08-2012 Thank you drewmerc. I switched the Vcc with GND in my earlier attempt and fried my earlier USB TTL. Anyway, Now I managed to get to the console, but never managed to get the "p" options to response. I do get the full menu after umpteen times (maybe 30 times) by shorting pin 1 & 2 of flash. I got to "CM/DocsisCtl>" and issued: dload -i1 192.168.100.TFTPServerIP haxorware11rev39-DIAG.bin The Solarwinds TFTP server keep saying: binary, get file name: X:\haxorware11rev39-DIAG.bin, file 1181284 binary, dropped because peer didn't response.

It was rather easy. I'm certain most of us can find the basic steps for doing this in windows, however, I use a a real operating system called Linux . can u show me the pins you hook ur button 2 RE: Thompson/RCA DCM425C Flashing -- Linux snmp bash script - drewmerc - 21-10-2012 (20-10-2012, 11:43 PM)jmoney27288 Wrote: can u show me the pins you hook ur button 2 RE: Thompson/RCA DCM425C Flashing -- Linux snmp bash script - jmoney27288 - 21-10-2012 thank u does tftp tell u it sent firmware |
