Known as the "Starship 2". This chip is used as a flashcontroller between the [[South Bridge]] and the 2 interleaved NAND modules (See: [[Flash (Hardware)]]).

== Testpoints ==
Although testpoints exist between [[South Bridge]] and [[Starship2]], the protocol used on this [[EBUS]] is unknown/undocumented. This makes it impossible to use these points for a hardwareflasher : use direct wiring to the NAND chips or boardtraces instead (See [[Hardware_flashing#NAND_Wiring]]). Using direct NAND wiring/boardtraces has advantage that it makes use of the Common Flash Interface Protocol, widely documented (its in every flashchips datasheet) and supported by almost any flasher.
