Correlating the TI data sheet (GDY package, bottom of page 21) with Jon
Masters' photos, it looks as though the JTAG balls are all bunched
together around one corner and I guess that would correspond to cluster
of vias between C52 and T158. Can't really tell from the photos where
the traces lead off to. Also, it doesn't seem as though there are enough
vias on the back of the processor for all of the signals, so there might
be some buried vias there.
