Overview
Syscon has multiple SPI busses for communicating with different hardware peripherals:
- CELL BE
- RSX
- South Bridge
- Syscon internal EEPROM (only in Mullion) data bus in between syscon EEPROM and a service connector
Cell BE SPI
The SPI bus used for the Cell is described in the "Cell Broadband Engine Hardware Initialization Guide" (HIG) and provides access to both SPI and MMIO registers within the Cell. Section 3 of the HIG describes the details of the SPI interface in detail. A summary relevant to the PS3 is available below.
SPI Communication
- Cell is the subordinate device, Syscon is the SPI master
- SPI_CLK runs at 2.5 MHz (as measured on a JSD-001)
- MSB first (except the configuration ring register)
- Serial data sent to the Cell is clocked on the SPI_CLK rising edge
- Serial data output from the Cell is clocked on the SPI_CLK falling edge
SPI Protocol
- Fixed size header
* 8-bit Command ID * 16-bit SPI address
- Register-specific data length
- A quick and dirty DSView decoder is available here: ps3_sc_spi

SPI MMIO Registers

|---|---|---|---|---|

| 0xb000 | 0x2400008d000 | BE -> SC packet buffer | 32768 (0x1000 bytes) | Buffer where Syscon reads packets from Cell. Can NOT be written over the SPI bus. This is most likely held within SC. |
| N/A | 0x2400008e100 | Syscon packet doorbell | 32 | Will assert the SB_INT line when 0x1 is written to it from the Cell |
