Facet
The FACET port is a universal debugging port on all models of the xbox one/series-family.
Features:
- SPI / eMMC
- I2C
- Kernel Debugging
- Southbridge JTAG
A special development board is used to interact with this port. Some early development kits have the FACET circuitry on-board and feature a female USB-B port for connecting directly to a PC.
