This page needs to be cleaned up, because its either hard to read or contains very little information. You can help Free60 by editing this page and cleaning it up. |
Flash memory

Reading/Writing
The Flash can be written or read using a number of methods. If you have the old shader hack running the easiest is using lflash. You can also wire LPT directly to the flash using this diagram. As well, you can build your own USB SPI Flasher with this diagram and use these binaries. Flash the PicXboot.hex to your PIC, then use the programmer from this picflash to flash the picflash.hex to the PIC through USB in bootloader mode. Once the device is flashed, you can then install it using the drivers from NandPro or use TeamXecuters NANDX drivers.
Once wired you can read/write to the chip using software such as NandPro.
Its possible that bad blocks appears when reading/writing to the NAND. For solving these look at the following page: Bad Blocks

Small flash chip close to CPU
Some 360s have a small flash chip near the CPU, some don't as seen in the following pictures.
No chip:
Here is a high-res picture of a premium box with the chip:
As discussed in this article on the xboxhacker.net forums, this appears to be a Atmel 25020 EEPROM. The chip model reads:
ATMEL524 25020AN SU18
Datasheet can be found here.
This chip is a low power 2048 bit serial EEPROM according to the datasheet.
- If the small chip near the CPU is removed the Xbox will boot up and function just fine [Darkmoon 360 experiments]
- According to IBM the CPU has "An interface for a serial EEPROM in case patch logic configuration was needed during bring-up"
Small flash chip on front panel
There is another Atmel chip on the front panel:

Atmel 528 serial EEPROM
This chip reads:
ATMEL528 24C04N SU18
Datasheet can be found here
This chip is a low power 4096 bit serial EEPROM according to the datasheet.
