+The TI ACX100/ACX111 is an already somewhat outdated 802.11 wireless LAN chipset, which is based on an ARM7TDMI core.
+There is an [[http://acx100.sourceforge.net/|open source project]] which develops a Linux kernel driver.

+====== ACX100 JTAG Port ======
+When taking apart a Level1 WBR-2401B router, I noticed that the used ACX100 CardBus-card has a 6-pin header.
+{{:acx100_jtag.jpg?800|ACX100 card with JTAG header}}
+As it turned out by try and error, it is connected to the JTAG pins of the ACX100 chip. Once it was clear that the first 2 pins are GND and VDD (+3.3V), I tried all combinations of the JTAG signals.
+^ Pin   ^ 1   ^ 2   ^ 3   ^ 4   ^ 5   ^ 6   ^
+|signal | GND | VDD | TCK | TDI | TDO | TMS |
+==== OpenOCD ====
+I used [[http://openocd.berlios.de/web/|OpenOCD]] to connect to the [[http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0210c/Chdeaegh.html|EmbeddedICE]] unit of the ARM7TDMI core.
+Since the ACX1xx contains a pretty standard TI TMS470 ARM7 core, it uses the TMS470 IDCODE:
+<code>
+Info : clock speed 6000 kHz
+Info : JTAG tap: acx1xx.cpu tap/device found: 0x3100e02f (mfg: 0x017, part: 0x100e, ver: 0x3)
+Info : Embedded ICE version 1
+Info : acx1xx.cpu: hardware has 2 breakpoint/watchpoint units
+</code>
+This is the used configuration file for OpenOCD (using the [[http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debug_Board_v3|OpenMoko Debug Board]]) as JTAG interface:
+<file - acx1xx.cfg>
+interface ft2232
