Syscon Firmware is the firmware stored on the System Controller EEPROM (see [[Syscon Hardware]]). Updates are stored in update packages within the Update_files.tar of a [[Playstation Update Package (PUP)]]. Syscon Packages appear to always be 5KB (5376 bytes) in size. | |||

This means from syscon perspective notible firmware changes where made at 1.30, 1.81, 3.00, 3.40 and 3.41 that affected retail and debug PS3 models | |||
*Firmware 1.30 (December 6, 2006) added Backup/Restore | |||
*Firmware 1.81 (June 15, 2007) ? | |||
*Firmware 3.00 (September 1, 2009) resulted in Class action suit for BluRay reading problems | |||
*Firmware 3.40 (June 29, 2010) ? | |||
*Firmware 3.41 (July 26, 2010) ? | |||
== NonRetail syscon == | |||
Remember, Debug/DEX consoles are normal retail consoles with different TargetID, so only those that have a nonretail board have deviating patches (like the CXR713F120A found on the [[DECR-1000A]] TOOL/DECR). | |||
Tool/DECR don't have patches, they flash entire firmwares.<br /> | |||
Factory cp comes with 0.8.8 (corresponds to syscon fw size 0x60000)<br> | |||
it is VERY likely that it is not possible to go below this point, so any smaller size would likely cause a brick (see [[Talk:Communication_Processor]] for more info on how to downgrade)<br> | |||

== Usage == | |||
The firmware PUP's contains a collection of patches for all the different hardware revisions of syscon's chips used in different motherboard models. | |||
The ps3swu.self (system updater) decides which applicable [[Syscon Hardware]] is present and installs the needed package update(s) accordingly (via updater manager ss service). | |||
Which syscon version and which patches are installed can be seen in [[More_System_Information]] | |||
== Decryption == | |||
Packages can be decrypted with the unpkg tool. Decrypted content of the updates appears to always be 0x1000 bytes (4KB). | |||
== Header == | |||
The header format is partially unknown at this stage. | |||
All the Firmwares patches are written in little endian. | |||

=== Observations === | |||
* The first 4 bytes (0x1B2D700F) appear static in each package. | |||
* The next 20 bytes appear to change with each package | |||
* The following 12 bytes (0x0000000000100000C00F0000) also appear static, but it's the firmware size and fw size - header size; infact if correctly converted to little endian 00000000 00001000 00000fc0, where 00000000 is Unknown, 00001000 is 4096 in dec (file size) and 00000fc0 is 4032 in dec (update size). | |||
* On the DECH fw, the update works in the same way: 000000004000060000000600 converted will be: 00000000 00060040 00060000, where, 00000000 is probably padding, file size 00060040, 00060000 update size | |||
* the first 40 bytes probably are IV + HASH + update infos. probably the algorithm used is AES. | |||
