| 6 | |||
| 7 | The Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 2 tablets have a custom 30 pin connector. |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | The goal is to get access to the SOC UART to interact with the bootloader, get kernel boot logs, etc. |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | To make it easier we want to reuse existing cables without much modifications to the cables. |
||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | While this is being tested on the Galaxy Tab 2, it should also work on the Galaxy Tab. |
