Hidden B/C/J Class Manufacturer and DEBUG commands¶
According to some PDC docs, there seems to be a “mode byte” in NVM storage. Values are probably:
Normal mode =
0x4EMFG mode =
0x4DDebug mode =
0x44
After repairing my J5000 (EEPROM was corrupted due to PDC experiments), the Bootloader showed some additional Entries:
