If I am not mistaken USBBDM Said that the USBBDM NT tool would be Used for that Target, Not the USBJTAG NT.

How about posting the contents of nvram at ff800000-ff83ffff. It would really be helpful. DSR 920, 922, or 905. If you have several, do them all, the more info, the better.

To get NVRAM and RAM, I have to first issue "init" command. But, I only get up to 81FFFF, not 83FFFF. How can init be fixed to read past 20000???

BTW, This is on DSR922.

So you have *choice, that's 921? I'd be interested in the RAM and NVRAM too. May help us in our quest to figure out the 922 (4dtv) which is becoming more of a brick every day without life support...

I used DSR405 and init will give me all the data. But most of them are empty.

-RESET 1
-R
-init
-GETRAM nvram

In your script, you are only going to get the first half of NVRAM if NVRAM is to 83FFFF. If the data isn't at 820000 to 83FFFF, then it must be somewhere else.

We need complete NVRAM dump so we can backup the file and possibly do other tricks.

1. Backup all data in NVRAM and RAM memory
2. Add missing and hidden channels to maps such as NWCN on GB satellite
3. Load satellites to the box that are not there after Master Reset is done
4. Whatever else can be useful

We used to be able to go to satellite G1 TP 3 for current Motorola maps updates if box crashed, but this is no longer an option. Stock tiles are in NVRAM. All generic maps (satellites such as CA, CB, CE, CG, etc) and half other satellites from list (W5, GB, C4, M5, etc) are missing after master reset. Wherever all of this is located in memory we need.

Have you tried loading anything back to the IRD?

In case you don't know what is required, we need ability to dump/modify the following:
The maps which comprise of the following
MMT Modulation Mode Table
CDT Carrier Definition Table
SIT Satellite Information Table
STT Satellite Text Table
TDT Transponder Data Table
VCT Virtual Channel Table
RTT Ratings Text Table

I don't know if Starchoice uses this system to define channels, but Moto/GI 4DTV does, and with the (as I understand) partial dump, a good bit of this is missing. Without it, channels cannot be updated. Please disregard this if you are aware of all of this.

Please use teamviewer so I can take a look. Mine had the NVRAM all read OK. You need to disassemble the firmware to understand the data structure of the NVRAM.

yepper i did it with the DSR bin examples in the 4play.exe source code and the cmd utility. the c>out is http://www.mediafire.com/?qjkhd0jt0jgsg10

But USBBDM....
How big are your full NVRAM dumps?

And does your DSR401/405 use extra SRAM like the DSR9**?

Must use the cable select pins on MCU to access SRAM on 4dtv units. This must be where it is located, since this SRAM is tied to the same +3volts as the XC and the data is lost when backup battery dies(thanks Alonso).

So how can this data be in the NVRAM?
