*The SoftID (Syscon firmware build id) of retail chips is a 1:1 mapping to the syscon model. So each syscon model does have a unique SoftID.
<TizzyT> eussnl my syscon is CXR714120-301GB its different form what the wiki says
*Every syscon within a series (CXR, SW, SW2, SW3) is backwards compatible, e.g. every CXR Syscon works on the COK-001, but only 202GB and newer on a COK-002.
CECHH / DIA-001
*The SW and the SW2 are not interchangable (because of the CEC handling which uses hardcoded HDMI stuff).
*The actual platform configuration which defines the board on the which Syscon resides is stored in the EEPROM (CXR) or Flash data section (SW), it can be mapped to the platform id.
*In theory even the SW(1) chips work on Mullion boards if you adapt them.


== Prototype sherwoods ==
=== Package ===
The sherwood table already have a row for D79F0073, should we add a couple more rows for D79F0086 and D79F0123 ?

ball count: 4x16 + 8x14 + 2x12 = 64+112+24 = 200 pads
 
new QF package is 26 * 38 = 128 pins
 
=== Clocks ===
SysCon clocks:
T4 XTAL / T5 EXTAL goes to [X4001] of 16.9344 MHz
C16 OSCIN / B16 OSCOUT goes to [X4002] of 32.768 kHz

=== Backup Mode / Diag ===
BACKUP_MODE / DIAG_MODE pins on Gen 2 might be pins 110 and 111. They are pulled low.
Not completely sure, but looking at those pins in relation to what's around them seems like it could be those two.

SEM-001 CECHG
Pink is N15 BACKUP_MODE
Blue is N16 DIAG_MODE

According to schematics, DIAG and BACKUP_MODE are are shown in the following picture for COK-001 and COK-002 Motherboards - http://goput.it/69k.jpg
These pins are tied to 3.3v so grounding them should enable each mode respectively.

=== SoftID ===
''Note: moved from seperate page, as there are already over 8 different syscon pages and the very same info is mention in depth on the SC firmware and SC hardware page (and in 150 wiki edits on the sysinfo page :/) we dont have a sperate page for every SELF flag either ;) (although there are >4 pages describing SELF :/)''
 
a SoftID is just a 0x4 code that tells you the hardware revision of the syscon.<br />
This info can be get through the [[More System Information]] method.<br />
You can find them also inside the SYS_CON_FIRMWARE_*********.pkg ([[Syscon_Firmware]]) at the offset '''0x28E''' (In this link you can found the list of the [[Syscon_Firmware#Known_Retail_syscon_update_packages| Syscon update packages]])<br />
every SoftID is associated with the ps3 mainboard. this means that you can know if a SC is compatible with your board without opening a PS3 ([[Syscon_Hardware#Serialnumbers_.40_SKU| Syscon Hardware]])
