Hardware/Testpoints
< Hardware
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
