The [[Syscon Hardware|System Controller]] | The [[Syscon Hardware|System Controller]] does have different <i>EEPROM</i> regions of which two are the NVS (non-volatile storage) and the SNVS (secure NVS).<br> | ||
If CELL wants to access the SNVS it has to be married to the Syscon. The SNVS holds for example the secure [[Boot_modes#JIG_.2F_Factory_Service_Mode_.2F_manufacturer|product mode]] information, the [[lv0]]/[[Lv1.self|lv1]] hash and the [[Flash:cvtrm|SRK/SRH]].<br> | If CELL wants to access the SNVS it has to be married to the Syscon.

This guide will only cover the perconsole section which holds the pairing information and the SNVS section, not the NVS nor the internal (only by Syscon plain accessible) regions.<br> | This guide will only cover the perconsole section which holds the pairing information and the SNVS section, not the NVS nor the internal (only by Syscon plain accessible) regions.<br> | ||

If this is the case and you're not switching from Mullion to Sherwood or the other way around you can just copy the SPCR. | If this is the case and you're not switching from Mullion to Sherwood or the other way around you can just copy the SPCR. | ||
