Getting Started¶

Note

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and operating your KISS Fuzzer device for the first time.

Prerequisites¶

Before beginning, ensure you have the following items:

Essential Components:

KISS Fuzzer device
USB-C cable (data-capable)
MicroSD card (32GB or smaller, Class 10 recommended)
Target device with accessible JTAG or SWD interface

Optional Components:

Jumper wires or probe adapter
Multimeter for voltage verification
Target device documentation

Initial Setup¶

Power and Boot Sequence¶

Connect the KISS Fuzzer using the provided USB-C cable and observe the boot sequence:

Power Connection: Connect USB-C cable to KISS Fuzzer and power source
Boot Process: Device displays initialization status for each subsystem
Ready State: Main menu appears when all systems are operational

If the device fails to boot, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for diagnostic procedures.

Wi-Fi Configuration¶

Configure Wi-Fi access for remote control capabilities:

Navigate to Settings → Wi-Fi using the joystick controls:

Access Point Mode: KISS Fuzzer creates network KISS-Fuzzer with password fuzzing123

Web Interface: Connect any device to the network and navigate to http://192.168.4.1

The web interface provides remote control, live monitoring, and log management capabilities.

Storage Configuration¶

Insert a properly formatted MicroSD card for data logging:

Format Requirements: FAT32 file system recommended for optimal compatibility

Capacity: 32GB maximum for best performance and compatibility

Auto-Configuration: Directory structure is created automatically on first use

First JTAG Operation¶

Hardware Connection¶

Establish connections between KISS Fuzzer and target device using proper JTAG/SWD wiring:

KISS Fuzzer    Target Device
-----------    -------------
VCC (red)      VCC (match target voltage)
TCK (yellow)   TCK (JTAG clock)
TDI (green)    TDI (data to target)
TDO (blue)     TDO (data from target)
TMS (purple)   TMS (mode select)
GND (black)    GND (ground reference)

Connection Notes:

Always connect ground (GND) first to establish common reference
Verify target voltage before connecting VCC
Ensure target device is powered before attempting communication
Use appropriate probe adapters for small-pitch connectors

Performing Initial Scan¶

Execute the following sequence for device discovery:

Navigate to Scan Menu: Main Menu → JTAG Scan → Auto Scan
Initiate Scan: Press OK button to begin automatic detection
Monitor Progress: Observe scan progress on display
Review Results: Examine detected devices and identification codes

Interpreting Scan Results¶

The scan operation will display several types of information:

Successful Detection:

Found: 1 device
Device: ARM Cortex-M4
IDCODE: 0x4BA00477
Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics
Part: STM32F407 series

Unknown Device:

Found: 1 device
IDCODE: 0x12345678
Manufacturer: Unknown
Part: Unidentified

No Detection:

No devices found
Check connections and target power
Consider SWD mode if JTAG fails

Troubleshooting Connection Issues¶

If initial scans fail to detect devices, verify the following:

Power and Connections:

Confirm target device has power applied
Verify all signal connections are secure
Check ground connection integrity
Ensure correct voltage level selection

Protocol and Timing:

Try SWD mode if JTAG detection fails
Reduce clock speed for problematic connections
Verify target supports the selected debug protocol
Your target might be using SWD instead of JTAG - try the SWD scan option
Voltage levels might not match - check if your target uses 1.8V logic

Web Interface Usage¶

The web interface provides advanced control and monitoring capabilities for remote operation.

Accessing the Interface¶

Connect to the KISS Fuzzer network and access the web interface:

Network Connection: Connect device to KISS-Fuzzer Wi-Fi network
Browser Access: Navigate to http://192.168.4.1
Interface Navigation: Use responsive web controls for device operation

Available Features¶

Real-time Monitoring: Live status display shows battery level, scan progress, and system state

Remote Control: Start and stop scan operations without physical device access

Log Management: Stream live logs with filtering and search capabilities

File Operations: Download scan results, memory dumps, and configuration files
