JTAG On PS Vita?


Submitted by Tranced_1; September 15, 2012

 

Most of the hacking news regarding the PS Vita revolves around software hacks. We have seen this with VHBL, OpenCMA and exploits announced by various developers. Reading over at Wololo he has noted a Tweet by Android developer goroh_kun.  In this Tweet he pokes fun at the idea of a possible JTAG port on the PS Vita. If this is true, because Sony is known for dissabling JTAG ports, hackers will have the perfect access to the hardware of the PS Vita and can learn a great deal of how it all works.

To Quote:

Japanese developer goroh_kun, known locally for some of his work on Android, recently started investigating the PlayStation Vita. A few days ago he wondered if any hacker had seriously started to look into the Vita's hardware (the answer was no, at least not publicly). Yesterday he published a simple photo of the Vita CPU showing what could be a JTAG port on the CPU.
