I'm able to mod Dell T7820 to work with 8259CL by this guide. Huge thanks to RolloZ170 for the guide and program.

Here is the parts I ordered.

Adafruit MCP2221A Breakout

STEMMA QT / Qwiic JST SH 4-pin to Premium Male Headers Cable - 150mm Long

Premium Female/Female Jumper Wires - 20 x 12" (300mm)

The hardest part is to take out the motherboard from the chassis and soldering the pin to the board. As mentioned in the guide the ground hole is blocked by copper. I end up just solder the two pin from the back and leave the gnd pin on the copper blocked hole (I don't have 0.8mm drill bit around).

For T7280 it's PJPP1 by the memory slot.

The cable is color coded you just need 3 of them.
  • Black - Ground
  • Blue - I2C SDA Data
  • Yellow - I2C SCL Clock

Once its connected with USB boot to the BIOS and run the commands:

MCP2221a_iccmax_FF.exe -PXE1610C 60
MCP2221a_iccmax_FF.exe -PXE1610C 62

Reboot and put in the CPU.

must be in the chipset area ( J5D2 @ S2600WFT ) but maybe similar label.
locate the PXE1610C and use a multimeter with the beep function.

hi. i found pinout , "J2J2" , direct going to the 8/9 connection SDA/SCL on PXE1610C.
But shows me error , look picture please, any idea..???
can be all.swapped SDA/SCL
have you powered the board ? with CPUs and which ?
probably you have entered wrong address(es), you cannot expect the same addresses as used by S2600BP,S2600WFT
install MCP2221Terminal and scan the bus for devices.

note: if my app does not find a PXE1610C nothing is happen, just timeout or not found...
