April 2012:
New Stinger 3.0 !

It is pad by pad compatible with old Stinger 2 model, it uses the same .jed or .xsvf files as previous version, the improvements are:
a) Super fast install on Slim consoles (using the new Quicksolder Slim Kit). Check the Tutorial Here
b) Ultra fast booting, success at the very first try using the above tutorial recommendations
c) Incorporate onboard capacitors for stubborn Phats

November 9, 2011:
Maximus Stinger Final photo.  Shipped from the factory and will soon be dispersed to resellers.  Maximus has put in allot of effort ito cleaning up the .JED files.

We have only 2 files needed a SLIM and a PHAT.
Note: (If using 360nandflasher with nandpro 3.0 for programming take the .xsvf files, if you using JTAG programmer with Xilinx tools you can take the .jed files)

Quick refence guides are here: SLIM and PHAT

NandPro post: PostLogFileName.txt

=========================================================================
.XSVF CPLD CONNECTIONS AND OPERATION
=========================================================================
Follow instructions for USB install.
Make the following connections from the LPC2148 to the Xilinx device
Jtag conenctor:

ArmLpc Jtag Olimex Maximus

3.3v VCC EXT2.24 M1
GND GND EXT2.25 N3
P0.17 TCK EXT1.18 A2
P0.18 TDO EXT1.19 B3
P0.19 TDI EXT1.20 C1
P0.20 TMS EXT1.21 C2

Xilinx CPLD flashing typical command line:

Flash a .xsvf file, created by Impact, to cpld:
Nandpro xsvf: filename.xsvf

General XSVF notes:
LPT is not supported for this feature.
Requires additional connections from LPC2148 to the Xilinx jtag connector.
The Xilinx Impact tool is used to create .xsvf files. The Xilinx Impact software
records/redirects cpld operations into a binary file (.xsvf) that can be
processed by Nandpro. IE: Nandpro does not flash .jed files, but .jed files
may be directly converted to .xsvf by Impact.
See the Xilinx Impact tool for more information.

What is the NANDFlasher?
THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL TOOL FOR ALL YOUR XBOX 360 HOMEBREW NEEDS !!
The nandflasher is basically a JTag device that lets you read and write to the X360 NAND.  This requires an Exploitable console.  Hmm, is my console xploitable?  Well if you have a dash kernel before 8xxxx and the console was manufactured before Jun 18, 2009, then you most likely can use this device.
