Ex-link in service mode on A series(SH4)

See Getting access to u-boot (SH4) how to connect a Service Cable - ExLink. Provided that you have working Ex-link connection you can enter following commands (based on T-RBYDEUC firmware)

Debug Menu

Let serial line calm down from huge boot messages and type

debug [ Enter ]

Very complex menu tree follows. You can do lot of things there, especially screw up your TV completely.

BE VERY CAREFUL AND ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

Other Debug commands

I doubt about usefulness of following commands:

^ [ Enter ]

CPU reset (TV screen is shifted because GPU is not properly initialized) - same as micom 143.

keydebug [ Enter ]
keyrec [ Enter ]
keyexit [ Enter ]

Repeats periodically sequence of simulated key presses.

Simulated remote control

Enter one character code followed by [ Enter ] to simulate a remote control key press.
