Lv2 Platform identifier in Syscon firmware

This is a collection of the platform ids with their internal id which can be found in the syscon firmware

I would like to suggest to keep this list clean, avoiding adding any association with motherboards or PS3 models, to help keeping open mind, and trying to not bringing here posible "mistakes" from other wiki pages or any internet source to avoid taking things as "facts". Also, consider sony itself could have made some "mistake" or breking his own naming convention, as example labeling a prototype with a sticker telling "cytology" but returning "shreck" in the syscall that shows the platform_id. If someone wants to add some speculation crete a section at bottom of this page and post it there --Sandungas (talk) 16:52, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Speculation

Can't be proven atm, only for the COOKIE prototypes leading to the CECHAxx.

DEH-H100?-B -> 0xB = 11 -> ?Cok11? = ?COOKIE-11?
DEH-H100?-C -> 0xC = 12 -> ?Cok12? = ?COOKIE-12?

DEH-H1001-D -> 0xD = 13 -> ?Cok13? = COOKIE-13
DEH-H1000A-E -> 0xE = 14 -> Cok14 = COK-001 Prototype ?(COOKIE-14)?

Theory 1

  • Shr = Shreck (CEB-10XX)
  • Cyt = Cytology (CEB-20XX, DEH-R10XX, DECR-1000X)
  • Cok = Cookie (DEH-H10XX, CBEH-10XX, DECHA, CECHA)


  • Cyt2.2 = DEH-R100X / DEH-R101X / DEH-R102X
  • Cyt3.1 = DEH-R103X
  • Cyt3.2 = DEH-R104X / DECR-1000X
  • Cok14 = DEH-H1000X / CECHA

Theory 2

There is an interesting coincidence in some of the platform_id version numbers and the numbers used in prototypes PS3 models, crosscheck with: Prototype models

  • SHRECK V1 series ? (Motherboard MPU-500 ?)
    • Shr1.0 -> CEB-1000 ?
    • Shr1.1 -> undocumented / never found (theorethically a CEB-1010)
    • Shr1.2 -> CEB-1020 ?
    • Shr-4D -> ?
    • Shr1.3 -> undocumented / never found (theorethically a CEB-1030)
    • Shr-LC -> ?
    • Shr1.4 -> undocumented / never found (theorethically a CEB-1040)
    • Shr1.5 -> undocumented / never found (theorethically a CEB-1050)
  • SHRECK V2 series ? (Motherboard MPU-501 ?)
  • SHRECK V3 series ? (Motherboard MPU-502 ?)
    • Shr3.0 -> ?
    • Shr3.1 -> ?
    • Shr3.2-4 -> ?
    • Shr3.2 -> ?
    • Shr3.3 -> ?
  • SHRECK V4 series ? (Motherboard MPU-503 ?)
    • Shr4.0 -> ?

Super Slims NOR vs eMMC

As explained here the circuit design of all superslim motherboards (7 motherboard models documented so far) allows to install either a NOR or a eMMC flash. If we assume the Platform ID of a specific motherboard changes based in his flash type (NOR or eMMC) we have a theoretical amount of 14 posible platform ID's for superslims
But... the fact that all the superslims allows to install a eMMC doesnt means that sony did in retail production in all them (the existence of a MSX-001 motherboard with a eMMC flash is doubtful). Anyway... in the meantime im going to make a list with all the posible combinations to keep a record of which ones has been found to be real
Is relativelly easy to do if we find photos of them, even if the photo is blurry or have s small size, we just need to check the motherboard name and the presence of the NOR chip located next to the HDD connector (rectangled chip=NOR, squared chip=eMMC), if some of you find a photo or any other proof of the existence of them just post the link in this list

Some thoughts

Sony doesn't have all the platform ids inside the syscon firmware, sometimes they just overwrite the platform id using the "eeprom".
That's denoted as "hardcoded" here, which means that e.g. Syscon makes no difference between the CokE10 and Deb01 or CokJ13 and Cok20.
Also the last platform id which can be found in the latest syscon SW3-304, ends at CokN30 which means all later boards are handled the same by Syscon and the platform id is just overwritten.

CokM10    Dumped unknown motherboard
CokM20    Inside Syscon firmware
CokM30    Dumped MPX-001 eMMC
CokM40    Inside Syscon firmware
CokN10    Inside Syscon firmware
CokN30    Inside Syscon firmware
CokP10    Dumped PQX-001 NOR
CokP40    Dumped PPX-001 eMMC
CokR30    Dumped unknown motherboard
CokR40    Dumped REX-001 eMMC

so CokX10, CokX20, CokX30, CokX40 ?

You can also see that there're 8 different Product Sub Codes for the Superslim: 0x0D, 0x0E, 0x0F, 0x10, 0x11, 0x12, 0x13, 0x14 - but only 7 boards?
The minimum support firmware (excluding the metldr enforced one) can be seen here and also the mapping to the Chassis ID.
There seem to be only 4 groups (4.15, 4.20, 4.40 and 4.50).
