Southbridge

Located between the CPU (CELL BE) and the lower I/O devices (SATA/PATA: Bluray Drive/Harddrive, USB, GbLAN, Wifi/Bluetooth, Flash (Hardware): Starship2+NAND / NOR, MultiCardReader etc) via a Flex I/O bus (CellBE : BIC / IOIF1).

Note:

Bus ID can be fetched directly from 0x24000087000 or from LV1 repository node:
- get node index (XX) with name busXX.type where value == 0x04 (SB bus)
- get value from node with name busXX.id
