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[edit | edit source]
SATA Bridge Serial Flash[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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.
