Unable to read EEPROM on Development Kit Xbox

Open emonegarand opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

So I have a Development Kit Xbox, the HDD is potentially dying as I've not been able to get the Xbox to boot to the Dashboard so I want to be able to dump the EEPROM so I can unlock and back up the drive in case it has any old development binaries on it. I'm using a Nano with A4(SDA) connected to Pin 14, A5(SCL) connected to Pin 13 and GND connected to Pin 2 on the LPC headers, the sketch compiled fine to the Nano but whenever I try to read the EEPROM I get "Error Reading EEPROM. Check connections". I saw another issue mention adding some lines to the python script if using a Nano or Uno which I tried but now it just spits out "b''" before again printing "Error Reading EEPROM. Check connections". Is the EEPROM shot or is it an issue with the Nano I'm not accounting for? I haven't changed anything in the Sketch.

Is the Xbox powered on (carefully) when you read it?

But hard to say for sure. Im not aware of any differences but I could be wrong

Yes its powered on when I've ran the read command.
