Project PNM PS3 NOR Manager Schematics and More Released

Today, No_One, has released an updated PDF for Project PNM, which contains a wealth of information. Project PNM, one of the more promising projects in the scene, is a piece of hardware which allow users to run a dual firmware setup via dual NOR flashes, as well as several other things. The document explains how PNM works from a hardware point of view. In addition, it provides all of the necessary information needed for users to build their own PNM hardware. The document contains detailed schematics, diagrams, explanations, and a list of materials needed. Furthermore, in an attempt to get this hardware into as many hands as possible, it was revealed that a cheaper version of the hardware is currently being designed and will be released in the near future. Please note, the PDF document is highly technical. It is recommended that only skilled hardware experts should try their hand at building a PNM circuit.

Here is the PDF documentation that explains how PNM works from an hardware point of view :
- schematics,
- explanations,
- bill of materials (BOM),
- diagrams.
Coming soon :
- A virtual SOCKET #3 to access (Read/Write) the PS3 NOR (on motherboard itself)
It will give the ability to manage what others flashers around do without removing the embedded NOR.
- Realtime tests on a PS3 in differents situations :
* Static switching between 2 firmwares,
* Dynamic switching….
Tasks finished these last 2 days :
- serial link has been enhanced (speed) to 1Mbit/s,
- virtual SOCKET #3 instanciated in the FPGA,
- Teraterm macros to help managing DUMP/UPDATE (not yet fully functionnal),
- automatic detection of the firmware flashed,
- some minor software updates…
See ya very soon for more progress !
