This article explores how to use JTAG debugging to extract firmware from SSDs for reverse engineering purposes. It covers JTAG pin mapping, connecting to a target SSD, and dumping firmware using open-source tools like OpenOCD. The post is part of a series aimed at reverse engineers looking to understand hardware-level debugging techniques.
An overheating 10GBASE-T SFP+ module in a home switch was replaced with a Broadcom-based model, fixing link flapping and lowering CPU temperature by about 5°C, though the new module does not report temperature and impersonates a fibre-optic Intel module in its EEPROM.
