The Sidecar is a development accessory used on certain Development and Test Consoles.
FPGA
Notes
- If left without power for a long time, the bitstream on the FPGA is lost and must be reprogrammed
DVD Emulation
Performance Investigator for Xbox
Type 1
Codenamed Chameleon. Seen on the Xbox 360 Development Console and Xbox 360 Test Console. Access to both USB ports for both DVD Emulation and PIX, depending on kit type. It plugs into the motherboard via an extended cut in Chassis.
Prototype Version 1
Only difference on these sidecars is the port label engraving says DBG PIX instead of just PIX. They are also a dark black color. Only Found on XeDKs.
Prototype Version 2
Port engraving for PIX now only says PIX, same as final. They are also a dark black color. This Sidecar is used by beta 008 and early beta 009 Development Kits.
Type 2
Used on the Xbox 360-GB Development Console. Retains risers left over from canceled GbE testing. The PCB is still the same as Type 1, but the newly designed Sidecar shell covers the PIX port permanently.
Prototype Type 2
Used on Prototype Xbox 360 XDK-GB units. Features a Gigabit ethernet board, with cut out for the ethernet port.
Type 3
Redesigned for the Xbox 360 S Development Console. Significantly more modular than previous sidecar types. It plugs into a daughter board located inside unit, which plugs into the motherboard. The PIX port has been completely removed. The Hard Drive remains in its normal position inside the console.
