Jasper is the codename of the fifth motherboard revision for the Xbox 360. On Jasper motherboards found within Arcade SKUs, this Xbox 360 Motherboard revision features an onboard memory unit to facilitate the NXE Dashboard.

Hardware Notes

The connections required to dump/flash the NAND are the same as all previous models.

Performing the SMC Hack requires the same wiring as Zephyr, Opus, and Falcon mainboards. This is a slightly different set of connections than those required for the Xenon mainboard.

XNA Prototype

XNA Prototype XDKs were early prototypes of the final XNA development kit that came with a new case design and 1GB of upgraded RAM for developer use.

The XNA XDK was originally planned with an extra Gigabit Ethernet port. This ended up being scrapped and is only present on the XNA Prototype XDKs.

Version 1

The first Xbox 360 XDK board with 1GB of upgraded RAM. It used a white retail Xbox 360 case with prototype stickers and had a Gigabit Ethernet board mounted to the hard drive case.

It did not feature a sidecar and had a standard green Ring of Light.

XNA Prototype Version 1

Version 2

Featured the same white retail case, 1GB of RAM and inverted ring of light as the version 1 prototype.

The version 2 prototype was the first to feature a sidecar with the new redesigned XNA shell. It was black colored plastic (appears dark blue in some cases) with no XNA branding and featured the Gigabit Ethernet board inside.

The Ring of Light board in version 3 prototypes is inverted featuring red and blue LEDs.

XNA Prototype Version 2XNA Prototype Version 2XNA Prototype Version 2XNA Prototype Version 2XNA Prototype Version 2XNA Prototype Version 2

Version 3

Same as the version 2 prototype but with a blue chrome XNA branded sidecar shell.

XNA Prototype Version 3XNA Prototype Version 3

Version 4 (GDC Expo)

The first XNA development kit to feature the final XNA branded case design. Still featured a Gigabit Ethernet XNA branded sidecar and had an XNA branded faceplate.

Although the Gigabit Ethernet port was still present on the sidecar, the feature was already planned to be dropped from the final design. The port was covered with a serial sticker during the GDC Expo in 2009 in order to better represent the final design.

Produced mid to late 2009.

XNA Prototype Version 4XNA Prototype Version 4

Version 5

Same as the previous version 4 prototype but with later manufacturing dates.

Produced early 2010.
