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 512MB Development and Test Kits. Access to both USB ports for both DVD Emulation and PIX, depending on kit type
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 Xbox 360 XDK-GB. Retains risers left over from canceled GbE testing. Board still uses the same PCBs 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.
Notes
- Both Type 1 and 2 sidecars need to be manually plugged into motherboard via an extended cut in chassis
Type 3
Designed for Xbox 360 S Development Kits. Significantly more modular than previous sidecar types. Plugs into daughter board located inside unit. Hard Drive remains seated into bay in console. PIX port has been completely removed from PCB.
