The PCB used in XDK-GB and its prototypes is a subvariant of Jasper. Although the name is not known, we do know that it stars with the letter 'A', as defined by units' configuration ID. This is also why XDK-GB units will reference Jasper in their config.

AEV

'A' Engineering Verification, Prototypes either in Bringup Configuration or Development Configuration with Sidecar attached. They will be in a white case and have various info and internal tracking stickers.

1GB Config-11

Only known unit that uses the configuration 1GB Config-11 is console number 69. This unit does not have Lamprey programming cables.

JEVC3-13

June 2008. JEVC3-13 configured units have a light gray Type 1 Sidecar. They are in a white case, with RF02. The Sidecar on these units was most likely used in conjunction with xbRevive to allow flashing to the console through DVD Emulation; as these units were rarely supplied to Developers, if at all.

ADV

'A' Design Verification, Internal prototype units in Bringup Configuration or Development Configurations.

ADV-XDK-EV2-JADK EV2

Also known as just JADK EV2 units produced around December 2008. Although this unit is in DK (Development Kit) configuration, it's still ADV hardware. By this stage of XDK-GB prototyping, the Prototype Type 2 Sidecar design first appears. In a very deep blue, almost black color. It also is the first time we see an early GbE board added to the sidecar. The console is in a white case and features an inverted blue LED xFreedom.

ADK

ADK EV3

March - April 2009 prototypes. Units used at GDC 2009 and onward until release of final developer hardware in 2010. The Prototype Type 2 Sidecar sees the same design as the Xbox 360-GB Development Console variants 1 and 2; XNA tribal branding. While at GDC 2009 these units lacked internal MTE/Config labels. In addition, there was a barcode sticker over the additional GbE port. This was done to accurately represent the final development kit that would be later sent to developers. None-showcase ADK EV3's had MTE/Config labels and no barcode sticker. Early ADK EV3 units had parts dated 2008 but with a 2009 build date on MFR. Later parts would be made in 2009. These units also featured a blue LED xFreedom

Decommissioned ADK EV3

  • Gutted GbE board and blue LED.
