Editing Serial Flash (Hardware)

The PS4 contains at least one Serial Flash chip, and depending on the motherboard model (for example those that have the [[Aeolia]] [[Southbridge]]) can also have one flash for a [[SATA]] Bridge, one flash for a [[USB 3.0]] Hub, one flash for a [[Communication Processor]] in the DevKit case or even more flash chips on prototype motherboards.

= Main Serial Flash =

* [[MX25L25635FMI-10G]] 
* [[MX25L25635FZ2I-10G]]
* [[FL256LAIF01‎]]
* [[25Q256FVEF]]
* [[25Q256JVEQ]]

= SATA Bridge Serial Flash =

A serial flash chip contains the firmware and configuration for the SATA bridge device to which it is connected.

SATA Bridges models on PS4:
* [[MB86C311B]]: uses [[MX25L1006E]] or [25X10CLYA1]] serial flash chips

= USB 3.0 Hub Serial Flash =

A serial flash chip contains the firmware and configuration for the USB 3.0 hub device to which it is connected.

USB 3.0 Hubs models on PS4:
* [[GL3520]]: uses [[MX25L1006E]] or [25X10CLYA1]] serial flash chips
* [[CYUSB3312-88LTXC]]: no known serial flash
* [[CYUSB3314-88LTXC]]: no known serial flash

= Remarks =

Serial flash chips used in PS4 have several OTP/blocking options according to datasheets, but they seem not used, as seen when handling flash or replacing flash itself.
