Overview

The TIAO USB Multi Protocol Adapter (TUMPA) is a multi-functional USB communication adapter for hobbyists or engineers. The adapter is based on FDTI's flagship communication chip FT2232H, a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It has two multi-protocol synchronous serial engines (MPSSEs) which allow for communication using JTAG, I2C and SPI on two channels simultaneously.

In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to debrick a wireless router. We use WRT54GS as an example, however, it doesn't mean than you can only debrick WRT54GS with TUMPA. You can follow the same instruction to debrick other wireless routers.
