Tests

Playstation 3 controllers printed circuit board (PCB) versions

This is an attempt to make a full list of board versions to have an overall idea of how long is the list, also some experiments that could be added to the table of testpoints related with rows, columns, colors, etc...

• ASUKA boards (ASUKA REV: 1.06 and ASUKA REV: 1.07)
  • The ASUKA boards made in china seems to be 3rd party (not sony official). At the time when was released sony was manufacturing the VX5 series... later sony continued with V6, VX7, VX8, etc... ignoring the "ASUKA" labeling
  • For this reason has been removed from the table, we dont have much info in wiki about them anyway

Toshiba microcontroller T6UN6EFG

• Toshiba T6UN6EFG-001 ? not verifyed
• Toshiba T6UN6EFG-002
• Toshiba T6UN6EFG-003

This component is used in DualShock 3 and Sixaxis, "some" Move Motion Controller, probably Move Navigation Controller too (and maybe others ?)

There is no datasheet available on internet, it seems is manufactured exclusivelly for sony

Because is a common component used by several peripherals, for wiki we need a specific page for it and add links to all the pages for peripherals that uses it, and probably a template with the pinout (it has 80 pins). I dont plan to try to map all pins, maybe someone did somewhere... the point is even if is empty we need to prepare that page/table incase someone eventually comes to wiki and fills the info or incase we find the info somewhere
