Worklog Wii U R&D Thread (WURD)

I've started sanding + scanning the WUP-50 mobo. It is only half of the board, but the other half is pretty much the same as the WUP-01 and the half I am sanding will be useful for a compendium for troubleshooting trims (since the LOLWUT trim line is in this area) and a complete pinout of the SoC.

The scans can be found here!!

ATM there are only the two surface layers. The internal layers will be posted there when i can get scans for them. Have fun!

The Wi-Fi module doesn't work atm, but it is probably due to my crappy wiring for it (SDIO is really bad; those cafeflex' will be incredibly useful for this relocation).

I finally got the relocation to work! Only a few months later but hey, better late than never.
Now the WiFi module technically doesn't need any of the pins going to the SMC/SOC, but there is a pin that needs to be pulled up for the module to function, just like on the BT module. I show that on my Wii U Mini worklog here. The SDIO wiring could have also been an issue, but the current wiring is much cleaner.
Here are pictures of my relocation:

I just scratched off the solder mask on the via that connects to the pin and then tied it to 3v3.
If you want to be extra safe, you could do the same to the SoC pin on the module, but IME its not required.
