ProgSkeet PS3 Hardware Flasher Project is Announced
Today PlayStation 3 developer uf6667 has Tweeted news announcing a new PS3 hardware flasher project called ProgSkeet.
Currently the official site ProgSkeet.com doesn't offer any details, however, he did provide some pictures (below, with high-res HERE) of the ProgSkeet device.
Based on them, ProgSkeet appears to utilize an Actel A3P125 IC (datasheet HERE) which is common among modchips due to its security, and offers enough address lines for at least 2 (if not more) NANDs with 16 general purpose lines and boasts 125,000 system gates with 133 maximum user I/O lines. It also offers JTAG pads, presumably used for programming the device.
Upon completion, ProgSkeet will allow users to downgrade and jailbreak their PS3 similar to the Infectus Mod along with backing p and reflashing the console's memory.
More details will be posted as they become available on the ProgSkeet project.
