===Syscon format speculation===
===Syscon format speculation===
By looking at the SC versions of the example images uploaded... the first part of the format (qqqq.****************) seems not to be accurate


There are two CECH-25xx, one in 3.41ofw, and other in 4.00ofw... both with the string "08C2.0000000000000000"
There are motherboards with 4.00 or bigger firmwares with a string filled with zeroes after the "." (0000000000000000). This zeroes means that his SoftID includes all the needed patches (in other words... 4.00ofw contains no patches aplicables to this syscon)


The fact that the installation of 4.00ofw in this motherboard installs no patches (0000000000000000) means that the "base syscon firmware" (08C2) includes all the needed patches (in other words... 4.00 ofw contains no patches aplicables to this syscon)
There is a direct relationship between the numbers used in the names of the .pkg's and the info shown after the "." e.g: SYS_CON_FIRMWARE_01040402.pkg will be shown in screen as: 0E69.0001000400040002 (to convert the string just add a zeroed byte before every byte)


So 08C2 seems to be one of the higher possibles "values" for CECH-25xx slim boards (the higher models hackables)
Based in the numbers used in the patches them can be ordered in a timeline from "older to newer": 00010000********.pkg 00010001********.pkg 00010002********.pkg 00010003********.pkg 00010004********.pkg 00010005********.pkg (there are only patches for 6 syscons in 4.00 firmware, but probably there are more syscon generations used in newer motherboards that doesn't need patches yet)


probably the ppqq is the chip vendor/model + version?.
The only patch that doesn't follow this rules is SYS_CON_FIRMWARE_S1_00010002083E0832.pkg whose numbers string doesn't need conversion, but it keeps the format 00010002******** (its unknown why this file is speciall, and if it uses a different install method than the others)

Actually the only way to identify the "syscon generation" from this info screen is based on the patches installed (the string after the point ".") by comparing them with this list [[Syscon_Firmware#Speculation_of_their_usage|Syscon patches]]
So as an example:
00010000********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 1
00010001********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 2
00010002********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 3
00010003********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 4
00010004********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 5
00010005********.pkg is a patch for syscon generation 6
There are no more patches inside 4.00 firmware, but probably there are more syscon generations used in newer motherboards (this ones doesn't need patches yet)

i think that this will explain everything: http://pastebin.com/k8KHGkzB and these are the generation of the SC http://pastebin.com/aJ3gxRKx (probably the first group is the correct one). deroad

Screenshot examples


Syscon format speculation

There are motherboards with 4.00 or bigger firmwares with a string filled with zeroes after the "." (0000000000000000). This zeroes means that his SoftID includes all the needed patches (in other words... 4.00ofw contains no patches aplicables to this syscon)

There is a direct relationship between the numbers used in the names of the .pkg's and the info shown after the "." e.g: SYS_CON_FIRMWARE_01040402.pkg will be shown in screen as: 0E69.0001000400040002 (to convert the string just add a zeroed byte before every byte)

Based in the numbers used in the patches them can be ordered in a timeline from "older to newer": 00010000********.pkg 00010001********.pkg 00010002********.pkg 00010003********.pkg 00010004********.pkg 00010005********.pkg (there are only patches for 6 syscons in 4.00 firmware, but probably there are more syscon generations used in newer motherboards that doesn't need patches yet)

The only patch that doesn't follow this rules is SYS_CON_FIRMWARE_S1_00010002083E0832.pkg whose numbers string doesn't need conversion, but it keeps the format 00010002******** (its unknown why this file is speciall, and if it uses a different install method than the others)
