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. Internal Prototypes either in Bringup Configuration or Development Kit Configuration.

JEVC3-13

June 2008. JEVC3-13 configured units have a light gray Type 1 Sidecar. They are in a white case. 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 Hardware. Internal prototype units in Bringup Configuration or Development Kit Configuration.

ADV-XDK-EV2-JADK-EV2

Utilizing ADV hardware, the unit itself is in EV2 DK Configuration, which defines the external cosmetics of the case and Sidecar's prototyping milestone. The EV2 prototype Type 2 Sidecar is molded in a very deep blue, almost black color and features an early GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) board. The console is in a white case and is equipped with an inverted blue LED.

APV

'A' Production Verification Hardware. Internal prototype units in Bringup Configuration or Development Kit Configuration.

ADK EV3

Introduced April 2009
Motherboard APV
RAM 1GB in 2 512MB pools
Storage 120GB Hard Drive
Sidecar EV3 Type 2
Color Console: Deep purple
Sidecar: Chrome blue

Displayed at GDC 2009. The EV3 Prototype Type 2 Sidecar sees the same design as the Xbox 360-GB Development Console variants 1 and 2; XNA branding. Also features a later revision of the GbE card. 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. ADK EV3 units had parts dated 2008 but with a 2009 manufacturing date.
