Like I just wasted 45 minutes looking into a "magic" iDCSD "serial" debug cable for Type C iDevices, only to conclude after finding clear photos that it's a standard USB3 Type C cable. With an FTDI on the USB2 pins driving 3 LEDs. And the UART pins disconnected.

None of this is explained in theiphonewiki article for it, which claims this cable actually serves a purpose. AFAICT it's literally just a passive USB cable plus blinkenlights so that factory workers can see it light up green when tests pass.

the DCSD has actual uart, iDCSD doesn’t (two different things). what you want is the potassium:pic.twitter.com/RRwyRgoLFN

No, what I want is the damn PD command it sends to switch to UART mode, so I can put it on a wiki and the code to send it in a repo and cut out all this secretive magic device nonsense. But it's okay, I have the PD controller firmware in Ghidra already.
