Syscon format speculation

By looking at the SC versions of the example images uploaded... the first part of the format (qqqq.****************) seems not to be accurate

There are two CECH-25xx, one in 3.41ofw, and other in 4.00ofw... both with the string "08C2.0000000000000000"

The fact that the installation of 4.00ofw in this motherboard installs no patches (0000000000000000) means that the "base syscon firmware" (08C2) includes all the needed patches (in other words... 4.00 ofw contains no patches aplicables to this syscon)

So 08C2 seems to be one of the higher possibles "values" for CECH-25xx slim boards (the higher models hackables)

probably the ppqq is the chip vendor/model + version?.


Temporall table to fill with examples to deduce the format of the first bytes before the point "." (please help to fill it)

Actually the only way to identify the "syscon generation" from this info screen is based on the patches installed (the string after the point ".") by comparing them with this list Syscon patches

So as an example:

00010000********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 1

00010001********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 2

00010002********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 3

00010003********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 4

00010004********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 5

00010005********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 6

There are no more patches inside 4.00 firmware, but iprobably there are more syscon generations used in newer motherboards (this ones doesnt need patches yet)
