👋 Welcome to UART Wiki
UART Wiki is your central resource for learning how to use UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) to repair and troubleshoot devices like the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and many others.
This project was created by TheCod3r to help make finding information and resources for repair easier. By creating one central place, we make things super easy to find and follow. This project was also created as a way to say, quite simply, #FuckBwE!
🔧 What You’ll Learn
- How to identify UART points on supported devices
- How to connect using TTL UART adapters (e.g., FT232RL, CH340, CP2102)
- How to use terminal software (like PuTTY, RealTerm, or minicom)
- How to read UART output for diagnostics and repair
- Safe soldering tips and pinout diagrams for common devices
🛠 Tools and Software We Cover
- USB-to-Serial TTL adapters
- Serial communication tools for Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Techniques for accessing boot logs, crash traces, and firmware-level messages
👩💻 Contributing
This project is built by people like you, contributions are welcome both here on the wiki and on the GitHub project!
Whether you're a repair technician, console modder, or DIY enthusiast, UART Wiki gives you the knowledge and tools to connect, debug, and repair, one UART log at a time.
- 🧠 Start exploring articles, or contribute your own findings to help others fix their devices!
- 💬 If you have insights, logs, or techniques to share, feel free to edit or add wiki pages.
- 🛠 For software improvements, bug fixes, or ideas, open an issue or submit a pull request on GitHub.
