Editing Flash (Hardware)

= Flash =
The PS3 uses a NOR interface from the [[South Bridge]] to address the main firmware flash. On NAND based consoles, it uses the [[Starship2]] as an interleaving bridge chip to the two NAND flash, while on NOR based consoles the single NOR flash is connected directly to the [[South Bridge]].
