Overview
These commands can be sent to MechaCon via it's UART interface. They exist for manufacturing and servicing purposes. For wiring up a serial terminal to the MechaCon UART interface, see MechaCon UART test points. To enable the UART interface, the console must be put into testmode by pulling the RMC test point to ground. The interface operates at 57600 baud 8N1.
Instead of working with raw MechaCon commands, it is recommended for users to use pre-made tools like PMAP. The purpose of this page is to provide documentation for the further development of PS2 tools.
Large differences exist between the SPC970-based MechaCon and the ARM-based "Dragon" MechaCon.
