Samsung solar remote teardown: RTL8762E SoC, solar charging, and locked-down ROM logs
ngxson · x · 2026-11-02
ngxson cracked open Samsung's solar TV remote: the board splits neatly into power management (regulator, USB charging, AEM30940 solar charger) and an RTL8762E main SoC, with the MEMS mic using the chip's built-in analog interface—no dedicated ADC. Test pads are clearly labeled (TPLOGTX / TPUARTRX / TPDSCL / TPDSDA), but the ROM log is gated behind a pad he couldn't identify.
