This is very much an advanced, "really gotta know how to compile stuff" method. But it does work, as evidenced by the now-8.5-Gh/s Jalapeno sitting right next to me still plugged in to the Arduino. It just took about 3 hours to actually run the flashing process.
You need:
- Arduino - any kind with at least 5 I/O ports and a serial connection capable of a solid, error-free high speed 115,200bps connection
- Access to a Linux environment
- A way to plug 6 pins from the JTAG connector into an Arduino - either a 10-pin ribbon cable and some jumper wires, or some M/F jumper wires.
Pins:
..| 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 |10| ... | x | x...
..| 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 9 | ... | x | x...
.(x)..(x).(x).(x).(x)...................
You know the story here, but probably only half of it. The JTAG connector might be under your heat sink or, as is the case with mine, a nice notch is already cut out of the heat sink just for the occasion. As in the fine ASCII art above, the connector's viewed with the unusually-cramped unpopulated 5-pin header towards you.
(pinout from the Raspberry Pi guide)
Signal | Jalapeno JTAG pin | Arduino pin |
JTAG_TCK | 1 | 3 |
JTAG_TMS | 5 | 2 |
JTAG_TDI | 9 | 4 |
JTAG_TDO | 3 | 6 |
MASTER_RESET | 6 | 7 (optional) |
GND | 2 or 10 | GND |
And now, the braindump. Here's the Arduino program:

Next, you need the modified UrJTAG program from LukeJr. That thread is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hacking-bitforce-sc-firmware-with-only-free-software-262558 - jump to "Step 3: Flashing" and look under the JTAG pinout table. Grab that UrJTAG clone, then apply these changes:
https://gitorious.org/urjtag-arduiggler/urjtag-arduiggler/commit/4949a49270c3ff10aa4629b7872dbb63b55612b6
You can skip creating Arduiggler.c from that page, as you'll need this version instead. The location of Arduiggler.c is mentioned in that git commit page above. Create that file, but use this instead (deep breath...):

And finally, once all that's in place, one last piece to make the whole thing work. In urjtag/data/atmel, open up "PARTS" and add the line at the bottom:
Compile, then... you're set! Use the same exact directions from the rest of LukeJr's post for Flashing, substituting "cable Arduiggler" for the first line (instead of "cable ft2232..."), no parameters needed.
Then go take a nap, because it will literally take a couple hours to program.
