Introduction
- E.g. to dump your ATA, ENCDEC or EID2 keys you have to make signed isolated SPU modules or loaders.
- This is a tutorial how to do it on Linux (it doesn't matter on PC or PS3).
Tools
- My Debian LiveCD has all tools you will need.
- See http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Debian_LiveCD
SPU GCC Compiler
- You need SPU GCC compiler to compile your code and create binary version of it.
- On PS3 Debian, just install spu toolchain with aptitude.
- You can also cross-compile SPU GCC toolchain for your Linux PC.
- See http://gitorious.ps3dev.net/ps3linux/powerpc64-cross-compiler if you want to build SPU GCC cross-compiler. Just change in HOWTO target option from powerpc64-linux to spu-elf.
ps3tools
- You need these tools to decrypt PS3 isolated SPU modules and loaders.
- You also need it to sign and encrypt your own SPU modules and loaders.
- self_rebuilder doesn't work properly with isolated SPU modules or loaders. Therefore, i made a new tool which works with isolated SPU modules and loaders. It's called iso_rebuilder and is a modified version of self_rebuilder.
- See my GIT repop: http://gitorious.ps3dev.net/ps3otheros/ps3tools
How To Test Isolated SPU Modules and Loaders
- I test my isolated SPU modules and loaders with PS3 Linux and spuisofs/spuldrfs Virtual File Systems.
spuisofs
- You can test with spuisofs isolated SPU modules which are decrypted by isoldr.
- You cannot test loaders with spuisofs.
- But spuisofs has the advantage that it's alot easier to execute isolated SPUs with it than with spuldrfs.
See http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Spuisofs
spuldrfs
- You can test with spuldrfs isolated SPU modules which are decrypted by isoldr and loaders which are decrypted by metldr.
- Use spuisofs if you want to execute isoldr SPUs, it's easier to do than with spuldrfs.
See http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Spuldrfs
Example: Making dump_ata_keys.self
- First you need sb_iso_spu_module.self from your NOR/NAND flash or from PS3 update file.
