BwE PS5 Code Reader

I am BwE of betterwayelectronics.com.au and I have been creating software to validate the PlayStation's flash since 2008 with the help of psdevwiki.com :) I also repair consoles locally in Australia and have been doing that since 2008 also. I am only recently slowing that down due to commitments with a PhD I am undertaking.

FAQ

What is this for?

It is designed for BLOD PS5 consoles (or those that cannot boot) but it is designed to detect any sort of error.

What do I need to get going?

A USB TTL device and the pinout for the PS4 southbridge for your model!

Instructions?

Wire up your USB TTL device (RX->RX, TX->TX, GND->GND) to the UART points (See attached diagrams!) then run the program. 
The program will then search for the PS5. Plug AC power into the PS5 (or turn it on), so long as the southbridge works it will prompt that its been detected.
From here you can get the code results! I recommend clearing logs and attempting to boot the console to understand your current issue better.
Codes will primarily be from a pre-boot stage, but there are a large number of post-boot errors that my program will now detect.

Why isn't it free?

This program is targeted towards businesses with bulk amounts of PS5s to repair. My products also come with support and continued development.

Will you add more diagnostic codes?

So long as people buy this program, yes.

I get GDDR6 error top and bottom and a bank number, what does that mean?

With the board positioned up and the RAM facing you the top row is the top 4 RAM chips and the bottom row is the bottom 4.
Top row from left to right is 1, 2, 3 ,4 - Bottom row from left to right is 8, 7, 6, 5.
See attached diagram!

I am getting "Unknown Error Code (N/A)"

Your PS5 is not getting a proper reply from the error code commands. No ground wire or loose wiring on USB TTL.
Another possibility is that you're sending commands too quickly. Unplug everything and try later.

TLDR; Will this fix my BLOD? No, that's your job using the information this program has given you!

TLDR; Will this prove my BLOD is XYZ? Kinda yes, thats the idea. It will show you what has failed.

1 - Read Current Error Code

	Displays the active/current error code that the PS5 has!
		
2 - Read Last 10 Codes
	
	Displays the last 10 error codes that the PS5 has!

3 - Clear Error Codes

	Clears the entire log. I recommend this as your first step, then rebooting or unplugging and re-plugging AC.

Q - Quit

	Quits
