Hacking MMM and AHBPROT

[scooby74029]

hey guys had a few questions about ahbprot

i have HBC 1.07 on my 4.2U Uneek nand and Hbc is installed to 61

in MMM were it shows abhprot Enabled=?
Disabled=?

was wondering because when i reload to 58 from 61 in MMM the ahbprot flag is 61 000000000
58 fffffffffffffff

was just wondering what the f and 0 were and what can one do with this ahbprot ?

AHBPROT is to acces directly the hardware without going from the IOSes

correction
all ios calls will still go trough ios; you just get most access to the hardware from ios and some hardware can indeed be accessed from ppc then (but afaik it still goes trough starlet first)

No, AHBPROT enables full access to all hardware directly from PPC, bypassing IOS entirely.

The AHBPROT feature, which we described one year ago, allows you to bypass IOS to access devices directly from the PPC, eliminating the need for any IOS patches.
