Most of the information we have about the sc eeprom comes from graf_chokolo reverse engineering of the HV see Hypervisor Reverse Engineering
Here is where system flags, tokens and hashes are stored.
Right now most of the communication we have with the sc eeprom is through Linux using graf_chokolo ps3dm-utils and/or using his payloads.

SC EEPROM Info
SC EEPROM from fat consoles is a custom/proprietary EEPROM chip that uses a special non standard commands to read/write from EEPROM. We are so lucky that Sony had exposed EEROM chip legs out of Syscon, so we have a physical access to it and we could attach devices like "Logic Analyzer", "Protocol Analyzer", "Custom made MCU boards" to capture traffic between console and Syscon EEPROM.
For FAT console Syscon EEPROM consists of: 0x4000 blocks, and every block is consists of 2 bytes of data. So the total EEPROM size is: 0x8000 byte length.
And since the pin-out of Syscon chip for Slim & Super Slim consoles is not known till now, we can not be sure if the Syscon EEPROM pins are exposed outside or not so we can access it like in FAT console without handling Syscon it self.
SC EEPROM Commands
FAT console's SC EEPROM used a standard SPI protocol with a proprietary commands as flow:
| Description | Command | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Unlock Command | 0xA3 0x00 0x00 | This command must be send first before write command. |
| Write Command | 0xA4 0xXX 0xXX | XX XX is a block id to be written (value 0x0000 to 0x3FFF), the maximum data to be written in one command cycle is 32 byte length (16 blocks). |
| Read Command | 0xA8 0xXX 0xXX | XX XX is a block id to be read (value 0x0000 to 0x3FFF), there is no maximum limit for read command so we can send it once with block id 0x00 0x00 then read the full EEPROM at once without sending read command again. |
| Check Status Command | 0xA9 0x00 0x00 0x00 | The response of this command is 0xFFFFFFFF if there is no error, or any other value if there is error happened or EEPROM still busy doing something. |

In a standard mostly untouched ps3 the common value for this flags is 0xFF wich means not active, anything else means active (e.g. 0xFE)
To change this to an active status you have to write 0x00 to turn on the flag
Debug support flag is tied to EID which is supposed to be hashed and saves in SC EEPROM
QA flag is tied to QA token that is also saved in this part of the SC EEPROM
QA Token ECDSA Signature is stored in 0x48013 offset (starting from 3.60 firmwares)
Undocumented config
There is an unknown syscon response of 0x100 bytes when using NVS service with such params: BlockID=1, Offset=0, Size=0.

Authenticated Data Regions Crypto Analysis
Tests
- http://i.imgur.com/A8g00bD.png <- aes 128 cbc with fixed key and incremented iv (by 1 each time)
- http://i.imgur.com/HZDWGSk.png <- results
- http://i.imgur.com/2mtrtdm.png region 0 encrypted vs http://i.imgur.com/7bSdQni.png decrypted
- http://i.imgur.com/FGJKkuz.png region 7 encrypted vs http://i.imgur.com/7TSeHWK.png decrypted
Conclusion
- different key for a different authenticated region.
- sony uses either aes 128-cbc or aes 256-cbc (most likely 128-cbc)
- sony does this weird cbc crypto in which they only decrypt portions of 0x10 bytes of the region, then increment or decrement (most likely increment) iv, and then decrypt again. i've decided to call it ctr-cbc
- most likely the keys used are
sessionperconsole keys. - most likely the iv used starts with 00, then gets incremented by 1 for each 0x10 bytes

Dumping your SC EEPROM
Linux
First you need graf_chokolo kernel ps3dm-utils and linux_hv_scripts.
If you are ready.
Patch DM using linux_hv_scripts
dmpatch.sh
Read the data from the region you want for example (see tables above)
ps3dm_scm /dev/ps3dmproxy 0x48000 0xFF
You can see some coolstuff that containing dumps
Hashes
Where exactly the hashes are stored is still a secret, it is said that those hashes are stored in SC EEPROM
To retrieve the information about the packages you have installed you can also use ps3d_utils
Linux
Installed Package info
ps3dm_um /dev/ps3dmproxy get_pkg_info TYPE
Examples
get_pkg_info 1 - Core OS package
0003004100000000
get_pkg_info 2 - Revoke List for program
0003004100000000

get_pkg_info 6 - Firmware Package
0003005000000000
You can find more information about this in Hypervisor Reverse Engineering
Hashes
What algorithm is used and what exactly is hashed is still unknown (seems that the content of files is hashed by the SHA-1).
ps3dm_scm /dev/ps3dmproxy get_region_data ID
These hashes are checked by lv1 to make sure that the data has not been altered through SC Manager: scm_get_region_data: get_result: ret[X]: 0x%x

Bus Pirate 3 Solderless method
You need
1) PS3 motherboard with BGA syscon chip (COK001, COK002, SEM001, DIA001, etc)
2) Bus Pirate v3.6 with connectors.
3) Wires (I used AWG32 150mm with tinned ends, see below)
4) PC with OS Windows7 (Should work on other windows systems, but not tested).
5) A sharp pencil.
6) Fingers ;)
Hardware Part
Find the syscon on your PS3 motherboard.
Look at the EEPROM Pins location and Draw serifs on the upper surface of the chip, strictly on these pins using pencil.
Draw the Pinout for convenience.
Connect Bus-Pirate and AWG32 wires using probe Kit
Connect Bus-Pirate to the EEPROM Pins using the folowing table:
| Bus Pirate pin | EEPROM pin |
|---|---|
| CLK | SKB |
| CS | CSB |
| MOSI | DI |
| MISO | DO |
| 3V3 | RBB |
| GND | Any Ground Point |
Use 1 finger to hold the wires. The wires should be well connected with the eeprom pins.
Connect Bus-Pirate to you PC with Windows7 by USB.
Software Part
Big thanks to Dasanko for the hard work and for the Syscon Flasher GUI Tool!!!
Download and Install the driver for Bus-Pirate.
Download link: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%20v2.12.00%20WHQL%20Certified.exe
Open the Device Manager and find the port number of your USB Serial Port.
Download and Run Syscon Flasher.exe
Download link: https://www.sendspace.com/file/7jq6ka
MD5=D59A8AA9E7BB1AEB753D7C6391CE17B1
There are 6 simple steps to obtain the dump.
1) Select the correct USB Serial Port for Bus-Pirate.
2) Press "Send settings to device" button. If done correctly, then "Mode" Led on the Bus Pirate will be Green.
3) Press "Power on" button. If done correctly, then "VREG" Led on the Bus Pirate will be Red.
4) Press "Browse" button and specify location and file name for your syscon eeprom dump.
5) Specify Offset and Length. Offset=0 Length=0x8000 for full dump the eeprom.
6) Press "Fast Read" button and wait about 15sec.
Enjoy:

Bus Pirate 3 method by: (Zer0Tolerance)
You need
1) PS3 motherboard. I am using DIA-001. may be we can dump it from another boards, but it is unknown yet.
2) Device that can work with SPI interface and send any commands. I am using a Bus Pirate v3.6 with connectors.
3) Soldering station.
4) Wires (see below).
5) Personal conputer with installed HxD, Putty (or other terminal supporting serial port connections, e.g.:Tera Term) , Notepad++
6) /dev/Hands ;)
Preparation
Find the test points on the motherboard using this picture.
All points are covered with varnish. You need to carefully remove the varnish to the copper and solder the wires to it.
Attach a Bus Pirate to the wires using the following table:
| Bus Pirate pin | Test Point |
|---|---|
| CLK | SKB |
| CS | CSB |
| MOSI | DI |
| MISO | DO |
| 3V3 | WCB, RBB |
| GND | Any Ground Point |
Make sure that the battery is attached to the motherboard.
Plug your Bus pirate to the USB port on your PC using mini_USB_to_USB cable. (I am using the cable from the ps3 gamepad)
It should be done like this, see the following picture:
Setup software
1) Install the driver for the Bus Pirate and setup your virtual COM port for it using following table:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Bits per second | 115200 |
| Data bits | 8 |
| Parity | None |
| Stop bits | 1 |
| Flow control | None |
Open Putty and set it up:
session params:
connection type: Serial
Serial line: COM3 (choose your virtual COM port)
Speed (baud rate): 115200
Logging params:
Session logging: All session output
Log file name: click Browse button and specify your logfile, for example: C:\PS3\Logs\logfile.log
Now click Open button and setup mode for bus pirate using following commands:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| m | (mode) |
| 5 | (SPI) |
| 4 | (Set speed: 1MHz) |
| 2 | (Clock polarity: Idle high) |
| 1 | (Output clock edge: Idle to active |
| 1 | (Input sample phase: Middle *default) |
| 2 | (CS: /CS) |
| 2 | (Select output type: Normal (H=3.3V, L=GND)) |
Enable 3.3V: Just type: W (big leter) and press Enter.
Obtain the dump
Type: [0xa8 0x00 0x00 r:32768] and press Enter.
Wait until dumping process will be completed and close Putty.
Thats all. The dump must be into your logfile.log
You can use Notepad++ and Hex Editor like HxD to convert the dump to binary format.
Read Command is 0xA8 0xXX 0xXX, XX XX is a block id to be read, the full EEPROM is 32768 bytes lenght (0x8000), [r:] are syntax command of the Bus Pirate for start, read byte and end
Arduino Mega method by: (Abkarino)
I had build my own Syscon EEPROM flasher based on open source hardware "Arduino Mega" and some resistors.
This flasher will allow you fully read/write to your Syscon EEPROM (FAT consoles only till now).
You need
1) PS3 motherboard. I had used SEM-0001 board by desoldering Syscon chip form it but you can use, DIA-001 for example without desoldering Syscon chip since all eeprom pins had a test points in the board it self.
2) Arduino Mega or any Arduino board.
3) 6 x 3.6 KOHM resistors + 6 x 1.8 KOHM resistors (work together as a voltage dividers since Arduino IO logic is 5.0v and Syscon EEPROM IO Logic is 3.3v).
4) Soldering station.
5) Wires & Bread board (Optional).
6) Any PC that have terminal software like Putty, RealTerm and so on to access serial port, and any Hex Editor like HxD.
Preparation
Find the test points on the motherboard using this picture.
Or if you have a very good soldering skills and tools to desolder your SysCon then you can desolder your SysCon and solder your wires to it directly.
All points are covered with varnish. You need to carefully remove the varnish to the copper and solder the wires to it.
Attach a Arduino Mega to the wires using the following table:
| Arduino Mega pin | Test Point | Syscon Pin |
|---|---|---|
| SCL (52) | SKB | E16 |
| SS (53) | CSB | F16 |
| MOSI (51) | DI | G16 |
| MISO (50) | DO | H16 |
| WP (48) | WCB | J15 |
| RB (49) | RBB | J16 |
| VCC (3.3v) | Not needed if you used battery power | G11 |
| GND | Any Ground Point | C15 |
- Make sure that the battery is attached to the motherboard if you will dump/flash SysCon EEPROM in board.
- Make sure the pins are compatible or edited if using other arduino Board.
- Arduino Mega: MISO is 50, MOSI is 51, SCK is 52 and SS is usually 53
- Arduino Leonardo: the SPI pins are on the ICSP header pins.
- Arduino Duemilanove/Uno: SS is digital 10, MOSI is 11, MISO is 12, SCK is (usually) 13
