Hi Roland,

As discussed separately, the E310 serial port does not expose the JTAG port
of the device.
To gain access to this, you do have to remove the shell and use a custom
connector.

In the interest of documenting this as I imagine others may hit this, I'm
going to make a post on the forum (opencpi.dev).

Cheers,
Dom
