Syscon format speculation

By looking at the SC versions of the example images uploaded... the first part of the format (qqqq.****************) seems not to be accurate

There are two CECH-25xx, one in 3.41ofw, and other in 4.00ofw... both with the string "08C2.0000000000000000"

The fact that the installation of 4.00ofw in this motherboard installs no patches (0000000000000000) means that the "base syscon firmware" (08C2) includes all the needed patches (in other words... 4.00 ofw contains no patches aplicables to this syscon)

So 08C2 seems to be one of the higher possibles "values" for CECH-25xx slim boards (the higher models hackables)

probably the ppqq is the chip vendor/model + version?.


Temporall table to fill with examples to deduce the format of the first bytes before the point "." (please help to fill it)

PS3 Fat model Bigger firmware installed @SC string Syscon generation (based on SC string) syscon patch installed Notes
CECHC 3.15 0C16.0001000100030002 generation 2 01010302.pkg Old patch because never updated over 3.40

CECHL 3.65 065D.0000000000000000 ???? No patches installed generation 6 ?
CECHP 4.00 065D.0000000000000000 ???? No patches installed generation 6 ?
PS3 Slim model Bigger firmware installed @SC string Syscon generation (based on SC string) syscon patch installed Notes
CECH20xx 4.00 0832.00010002083E0832 generation 3? 00010002083E0832.pkg First model of slim with fat components
CECH25xx 3.41 08C2.0000000000000000 ???? No patches installed generation 7 ?
CECH25xx 4.00 08C2.0000000000000000 ???? No patches installed generation 7 ?
CECH30xx 4.00 0918.0000000000000000 ???? No patches installed generation 8 ?

Actually the only way to identify the "syscon generation" from this info screen is based on the patches installed (the string after the point ".") by comparing them with this list Syscon patches

So as an example:

00010000********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 1

00010001********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 2

00010002********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 3

00010003********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 4

00010004********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 5

00010005********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 6

There are no more patches inside 4.00 firmware, but iprobably there are more syscon generations used in newer motherboards (this ones doesnt need patches yet)


i think that this will explain everything: http://pastebin.com/k8KHGkzB and these are the generation of the SC http://pastebin.com/aJ3gxRKx (probably the first group is the correct one). deroad
