EEPROM External Read

Information

  • PiPROM 1)
  • Pulls EEPROM data from the chip on the motherboard using a Raspberry Pi
  • This was tested on 2017-08-16 with a SOIC8 Pomona 5250 clip on a v1.6 Xbox
  • This can all be avoided by backing up the EEPROM when softmodding 2)

Prerequisites

Enable I2C

sudo raspi-config

Test I2C Reading

  • Requires the chip clip to be connected, and the Xbox powered on
sudo i2cdetect -y 1

Read EEPROM

  • Requires the chip clip to be connected, and the Xbox powered on
mkdir -p ~/'PiPROM/eeprom' && sudo ~/'PiPROM/src/PiPROM.a' -r ~/'PiPROM/eeprom/eeprom.bin'

seriously, don't ignore the warnings like I did and then need to spend 6+ hours trying to fix a mistake that could have easily been reverted and fixed in minutes with an EEPROM backup :p
