Hardware Flashers:testpoints layout 5

NOR Consoles

Used in the first revisions of superslim model PS3 (CECH-40xx/MSX-001 or MPX-001), much difference in components positioning (main hearth of the board is 45 degrees rotated) compared to earlier models.

NOR Wiring - layout 5

Flashers for NOR based consoles (CECHH/DIA-001 and later) are generaly wired to the testpoints between South Bridge and NOR), plus (when needed) ground and Vcc.

CECH-40xx/MSX-001 or MPX-001 have the same layout 5 of testpoints.

Structure

Only a single 16MB NOR flash chip is used. The 128N is JEDEC CFI compliant and organized as 8,388,608 words or 16,777,216 bytes, addressable as 16-bit words (PS3 modus operandi) and 8-bit / 1 byte when the BYTE# signal is logic zero.
