The LPC Debug Port is an unpopulated 2x8 2.54mm (0.1") footprint on the Xbox motherboard that provides access to the system's Low Pin Count Bus, as well as the SMBus. Throughout the Xbox's lifetime, the LPC port has been modified in an attempt to prevent modding and, in some cases, it must be "rebuilt" to restore the port's full functionality. Rebuilding the LPC debug port involves soldering wires between it and very small vias on the motherboard.

Pins

  • 3.3V (15 & 9) - Provides 3.3V when the Xbox is powered on.
  • SDA (14) - SMBus data and address signal.
  • SCL (13) - SMBus clock signal.
  • GND (12 & 2) - Ground.
  • LAD[3:0] (11, 10, 8, 7) - LPC address and data signals.
  • 5V (6) - Provides 5V as long as the Xbox is plugged in.
  • LRESET# (5) - LPC reset signal.
  • PWR (4) - On pre-1.6 hardware, this pin does not exist. On 1.6 hardware, this pin is connected to the power button. Shorting it to ground will turn the Xbox on and off.
  • LFRAME# (3) - LPC start-of-cycle signal.
  • LCLK (2) - LPC clock signal.
