This is the baseband processor used in the iPhone 3G. It is upgraded with BBUpdaterExtreme. It is also known as the PMB8878

Datasheet

Anyone got one? Infineon provides this, which isn't really useful.

Accessing Interactive Mode

Interactive mode isn't accessed by sending characters to the baseband. Instead a GPIO pin is raised with a kernel call to preupdate reset.

result = IOConnectCallScalarMethod(conn, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);	//reset
result = IOConnectCallScalarMethod(conn, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);	//power set
result = IOConnectCallScalarMethod(conn, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0);	//configuring mux
result = IOConnectCallScalarMethod(conn, 7, 0, 0, 0, 0);	//powercycle
result = IOConnectCallScalarMethod(conn, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0);	//preupdate reset
