Hi,
I just read about syscon, I have a USB-UART RS232 CHY340G
I have CECHG04 - motherboard SEM-001. Please help locate Rx, Tx and ground pin.
I have YLOD and I want to check the error code, but I can't handle the pin recognition

Post the link of the page where you got the photo damnit, you made me lost some time trying to find the page in wiki to show it to you to help you... just to realize you took that photo from psdevwiki so you knew about it
https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Service_Connectors

Yeah... the solution is in that page in psdevwiki, thats all i can say
Hint: pin1 usually have a mark, and the other pins are located in anti-clockwise direction
 
That's the CELL BE JTAG connector. The Syscon connector is obviously near the Syscon, but the connector pads aren't connected.
You just have to use the Tx/Rx/Diag JL pads.
 
Thank you very much for help.
I think I've solved the problem. I was browsing the forum on my phone and did not notice the uploaded file PS3-Syscon-Guide (with script) -v1.2.zip.
There is a photo of my SEM001 motherboard. On Thursday I will try to connect UART-USB and read the data.
