Platform ID

Description

Platform ID (or plat.id / HW id) is a hardware identifyer that indicates the target hardware revision

• The Platform ID name includes the Chassis Type letter. See also: Prototypes
• Dont confuse the Platform ID with other motherboard identifyers located in cISD1 section as:
  • board_id is the serial number "printed" in the motherboard. In PS3's from euro region (only) the board_id is included in the "PS3 serial" printed in a white sticker (e.g. 27430423)
  • kiban_id is the barcode "printed" in the motherboard

Get the Platform ID

GameOS

The Platform ID can be retrieved from GameOS by using syscall 387 sys_sm_get_system_info

#include <ppu-lv2.h>
s32 lv2_get_platform_info(uint8_t platform_info[0x18]){
	lv2syscall1(387, (uint64_t) info);
	return_to_user_prog(s32);
	}

This is what you could get:

0305500000000040436f6b42313000000000b5ed00100000

Where

• 0x030550 is the PS3 firmware version, also if spoofed to another FW
• 0x40436f6b423130 converted to ascii is @CokB10 and that is the Platform ID
  • Since COK-002 motherboard the fourth letter of the Platform ID indicates the chassis, e.g. "CokB10" is Chassis Type = B
• 0xb5ed is the Build Number also if spoofed to another FW

Syscon UART

You can also get the Platform ID using the hversion command over the Syscon serial interface.
On Mullion models this command is only available in the internal mode, Sherwood models need to be patched in order to unlock it.

Dump platform info (coded by "3141card" as a standalone function for documenting purposes)

http://www.mediafire.com/?xdqi5j27w3tg0c1

• How to use:

1. Plug a storage device in usb0 (USB port closer to the Bluray drive)
2. Install and boot the app... then the PS3 beeps 3 times... then the app automatically quits and returns to XMB (there is no display on screen, this is normal)
3. A file with the name "platform_info.bin" is created in usb0
4. Open this file in a hex editor, take note of the Cok*** (can be readed in ASCII in the hex editor)

Please report back your values by editing this page

Example from decrypted lv0

The first 3 (or 4) letters of the Platform ID names are located in a table inside lv0, this is an small sample of that table, for more info see: Discussion

Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

• Shr = Shreck (0.00)
• Cyt = Cytology (0.30)
• Cok = Cookie (0.30)
• Gno = Gnome. Probably the Zego BCU-100, references can be found in the 'try_cpbusy' script inside the CP update for the DECR-1000 (2.00)

Example from syscon firmware

There is another table with the platform ID's of PS3 models inside the System Controller Firmware

Sample from syscon SW3-302 firmware v2.12.0
