PS3 Retail == PS3 TEST != PS3 TOOL I try to get PS3 TOOL SC Firmwares.
It is suggested that the Syscon EEPROM is 512KB and the full (encrypted) firmware is <400KB (on Ref.Tool the Syscon is updated by overwiting the whole Syscon firmware : e.g. v1.0.5c1_TMU510_u.bin 384KB)

Updating Syscon on Tool/DECR
Q: How is syscon updated on Reference Tool / DECR models?
There are no syscon PKG's in the DECR PUPs and CP .bin file contains one large binary encrypted gibberish.
it is suggested it uses full syscon updates, but how are files like "v1.0.5c1_TMU510_u.bin" send to syscon for updating? With/via Communication Processor?
A: In DECR-1000A Syscon is located on the motherboard. The Communication Processor talks to it through UART and updates it with the firmud command.
- List of main IC's on the motherboard:
- SCEI CXR713F120A (Syscon)
- SCEI CXD4302GB (Starship2)
- List of main IC's on the CP board:
- 1x Samsung K9F2G08U0M (Flash)
- SCEI CXD9790GG (?) "helps handle communication between the Communication Processor, and the system controller, and southbridge. Using this path, the CP can talk to the System Controller, and bring the system up, down, and change its boot settings."
- Etc...

NonRetail syscon
Remember, Debug/DEX consoles are normal retail consoles with different TargetID, so only those that have a nonretail board have deviating patches (like the CXR713F120A found on the DECR-1000A TOOL/DECR).
Tool/DECR don't have patches, they flash entire firmwares.
Factory cp comes with 0.8.8 (corresponds to syscon fw size 0x60000)
it is VERY likely that it is not possible to go below this point, so any smaller size would likely cause a brick (see Talk:Communication_Processor for more info on how to downgrade)

Sherwood patch name versioning and SoftID
For a backtrack of this talk see the section named "sherwood names format" at the end of this edit, the request for a confirmation here, and the answer here
The patch naming and versioning for mullion is straightforward, both the value displayed in the More System Information screen and the PKG filename itself contains the 4 integer values of the: "major version", "minor version", "major revision", and "minor revision" that appears in the header of the decrypted patch structure System Controller Firmware#Mullion Patch Content. Filename SYS_CON_FIRMWARE_01010303.pkg is patch v1.1.3.3. But we cant apply the same rules for sherwood
The only official patch filename sample we have for sherwood is SYS_CON_FIRMWARE_S1_00010002083E0832.pkg. There are many photos in the Talk:More System Information where can be seen that is displayed as 0832.00010002083E0832@SC
The first 2 integers seems to follow the rules for mullion ("major version" and "minor version") and indicates v1.2... but it seems the base firmware is 1.11... so im wondering if the patch "updates" the firmware to 1.2 (base firmware v1.11 overlayed with the patch becomes v1.2)
The last 2 values are the most weird, but also the most interesing, the 0832 is the SoftID of the real base firmware... and im wondering if after applying the patch it becomes 083E. Note both values are very close to each other, the algorythm used by syscon to calculate checksums makes them similar if we change only a few bytes as can be seen when playing around with the "eepcsum" command
Long story short... im wondering if all the SoftID's are checksums of the base syscon firmware build (not counting the EEPROM areas used for per-console configurations as the "platform config" area or others). And for sherwoods is also a checksum of the resulting data after applying the patch (so in this case is a checksum based in the data in syscon RAM), the header of the decrypted patch structure for sherwoods changed System Controller Firmware#Sherwood Patch Content and includes 2 new values "data checksum" (the checksum of the syscon base firmware = SoftID before aplying the patch ?), and "patch checksum" (the checksum of the syscon base firmware overlayed with the patch data = SoftID after aplying the patch ?)
So the filename for sherwoods is "major version" (of the patched data), "minor version" (of the patched data), "patch checksum" (of base firmware + patch), "data checksum" (of base firmware)

Syscon doesn't use the PatchID internally - I guess it's just saved in the patch header for identification purposes. The only thing it's checking is the SoftID.
The SoftID (I call it BuildID) is incremental (see here), like for example the build id.
The checksums in the Sherwood patch are just for the data saved in the patch (for "integrity" = bad crypto reasons), the HDMI patch on the Mullion syscon does also have a checksum.
