Hi3516 board TTL TX/RX location

[Justincase13]

Hello,

I recently picked up a EG4-DL20ME-32G camera from Amazon.

They have disabled SSH/Telnet on this device and I'm hoping to get access via serial so I can upload my own firmware/kernel or simply enable these services.

Does anyone happen to have a clue as to where TX/RX would be on this board?

Some other guys found TX/RX at some resisters on a similar Hi3518 board..but it's not clear on this one.

I found the UART serial pins but that's only for PTZ function and it's running 9600 baud.

Also the 3 pads at the bottom right are for IR and not TTL.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Justin

The pads at the board edge near the sensor flex cable?
Are you sure? They do look like the usual serial console access pads.
Isn't the IR usually provisioned on a 2-pin connector?

It seems to be IR as per the DOC and the Alibaba site selling these boards.

Agreed, the diagram seems to confirm that.
