Hardware/Testpoints

General

The Wii U motherboard exposes several test points, primarily on the bottom of the motherboard (CPU heatsink facing down).

EXI0

• TP100 - MOSI (Device in, Wii U out. Next to 176.)
• TP101 - CLK
• TP102 - CS
• TP176 - MISO (Device out, Wii U in)

DEBUG

These pins are set to various 8-bit values to indicate the current stage of boot0.

• TP50 - DEBUG0
• TP51 - DEBUG1
• TP52 - DEBUG2
• TP53 - DEBUG3
• TP55 - DEBUG4
• TP54 - DEBUG5
• TP48 - DEBUG6
• TP49 - DEBUG7

Misc/Unk
