TEENSY2PS3 - PCB "linker" Teensy++2.0 <-> PS3

I present you my project of a simple PCB (printed circuit board) to facilitate the use of our teensy++2.0 for the flash of PS3 NOR and/or NAND:

​

Intent:
- Simple
- Cheap
- Easy (to use, to assemble...)
- Smallest as possible with board traces shorter as possible.
- Compatible NOR and NAND (SBE) and switchable/reversable between both.
- Compatible 360-Clips NOR and NAND.
- Usable with existing layouts and softwares (judges' ones), teensy equiped with voltage regulator or not, etc...
- Modular (for futur extentions as TSOP adapters for raw NOR/nand... maybe)

So I designed, built and tested a prototype since a couple of months with very good results. Some pictures:

With Teensy and 360 clip boards :



Usage on NOR with SCSI 50 pins cable :


For those who are interested, here the gerber files to manufacture this board: TEENSY2PS3_v1.00
I'll post a "user manual" later (I have to translate it :p)

Meantime, I developed a new version (v1.01) with some minor improvements and the addition of optionnal "POWER LED" and "TRISTATE LED":


Build in process...

Edit : v1.01 release:

me likey

 

Very cool, ill buy one of these when there available^_^

 

My intent is not to sell them or make business. It is open hardware. Everybody is free to make manufacture one or some with my shared files. There is many shops where you can order custom PCB's like OSHPARK, Jackaltac, etc.

 

Oh well thats awfully nice of you^_^ thanks.

 

I'm in love!! I have been eyeing a cheap CECHB-01 and want a perma install flasher solution. Guy only wants a phat chipped PS2 with SATA network adapter and a small 2.5" HDD and $50 cash. Hasn't ever had YLOD but alas is on 3.60 just over the software solution.

Last time I used a teensy++ and the 360 NAND clip. Was almost a solderless solution. At least it was 100% solderless on the PS3 side as my skills just aren't that good. I loaned it out to a buddy of mine that's a marine and he never got it back to my before deployment.

Then my CECHA-01 got YLOD for the last time and could never find someone to reball it only folks offering a reflow which it had already had twice before. I have a nice Linksys gaming WiFi adapter so I can use that. Still gonna miss the card reader but that all black murdered out system looks so much better then the crappy chrome of the CECHA-01 models.

 

I'm using KiCad. It is open source cad software.

 

looks like you have very short fingers in those pics... are you a midget [MENTION=48]littlebalup[/MENTION] :hmmm:

 

For sure, I'm not a piano player... but i'm not either a hobbit

 

They're his toes I think.

v1.01 release coming very soon.

 

Can we buy them from you?

 

No, sorry. I'm just taking care of some french friends.
But it is very simple to order one from OSHpark as example.

 

v1.01 now released. See edited first post of this topic.

 

i ordered one of these online thanks! It would of been nice to be able to get my hands on 1.1 tho.What about the aluminum cooling piece ? Where did you buy it or item#? Is it necessary É

 

@littlebalup I did get this PS3 mentioned here and your board is inside it nice and neat!!!

 

littlebalup please explain to me exactly how this pcb linker work i need (teensy2.0++,360 nand clip.360 nor clip,pin headers...) and how can i you use it i mean is it nessecary to switch from nand to nor or they will work at the same time

 

Please, read the manual for the details. And yes, you'll have the re-program the teensy and switch jumpers between NOR/nand usage.

 

sir can u give which thnigs i need to buy to get teesny2ps3 like this to work with nand and nor plz
