I'm working on a (currently private) project that is related to DECI2. It's purpose is to provide a proper debugger for homebrew software development. But unlike Kermit, it will support only the Ethernet interface and will not contain any hacks (Will not patch the EE kernel). I have a dump of a startup card, and have ripped out the executable file. I've successfully booted the binary on my SCPH-77006, and my PC is able to ping the console. Unfortunately, I am at a lost at what to do now. I have no documentation on how to use the startup card, so I might be using the wrong software. Basically, none of the DECI2 tools I have (from the Sony PS2SDK v3.03 for TOOLs, and Kermit) will connect to the startup card's program and hence won't do anything useful. There is something at TCP port 8510. Other than the fact that I've confirmed that TIFINET.IRX listens for incoming TCP connection(s) at port 8510, every program will successfully connect to that port... but fail to do anything useful. Kermit's tools will just time out, while the Sony tools will show a "no connectr" error. After the first connection attempt (which fails), it seems like whatever that is using port 8510 on the PS2 will stop working, since the PS2 will then actively refuse all connections to it. Could somebody who knows how the TDB startup card is to be used for debugging tell me how to set up a working debugging environment? To clone the TIF modules, I need to have a working testing environment to collect data. So far, I'm quite sure that the i.Link port isn't being used, as the TDB startup card doesn't have an i.Link module. Thank you all! PS: Merry Christmas! EDIT: Or even better. If someone has the tools and documentation to share, that would be great! EDIT 2: Problem solved: I needed the version of DSNETM for the TDB startup card. One of my friends here has shared information with me.
