NAND Consoles[edit | edit source]

These are the earliest revisions of the PS3 motherboards: CECHA/COK-001, CECHB/COK-001, CECHC/COK-002, CECHE/COK-002W, CECHG/SEM-001 and contain 2x NAND chips for a total of 256MB. These chips are interleaved which is controlled by a proprietary controller chip codenamed "Starship2" or SS2. This chip handles the interleaving and presents the NAND Chips to the South Bridge as a single large coherent flash over a proprietary EBUS.

NAND Wiring[edit | edit source]

Flashers for NAND based consoles (CECHA/COK-001, CECHB/COK-001, CECHC/COK-002, CECHD/unreleased, CECHE/COK-002W, CECHF/unreleased, CECHG/SEM-001) are generaly wired directly to the pins of the NAND (you cannot use the testpoints! between Southbridge and Starship2), plus ground and Vcc. Alternatively, boardtraces (between Starship2 and NAND) can be used.

Which NAND is low/high?[edit | edit source]

  • COK-001 :
    • IC3802 LOW (main componentside with SATA connector, CELL BE, RSX etc. next to Starship2)
    • IC3803 HIGH (backside next to 60-pin BD ATA connector)
  • SEM-001 :
    • IC3802 LOW (backside)
    • IC3803 HIGH (main componentside with SATA connector, CELL BE, RSX etc.)

EBUS Interface Testpoints on NAND consoles[edit | edit source]

Simular as on the NOR based consoles, testpoints can be found on the back of the PCB. It seems these are from the EBUS between the South Bridge and the Starship2. Attempts have been made to document/trace these. Addresslines 0-17 and Datalines 0-15 as well as some controllines are documented but so far these could not be used to read/flash the console.
