PS4 Aux Hax: Hacking Aeolia, Syscon and DS4 by Fail0verflow!
It's been awhile since we last heard from Fail0verflow on PS4 Crashdumps and Kernel Dumping, but today they've made available a new trio of PlayStation 4 hacking documentation dubbed PS4 Aux Hax covering hacking the Aeolia (Southbridge), Syscon (System Controller) and DS4 (DualShock 4 Controller) for other developers to learn from! 
The PlayStation 4 research can be found on their blog at Fail0verflow.com in the following pages for those who'd like to read through all the juicy details:
They also credit Volodymyr Pikhur for EAP / EMC work done including side-channel analysis, glitching and ROM recovery in his PS4 IPL AES + HMAC Key Recovery project, the original exploit and Recon Brussels 2018 presentation and PlayStation 4 developer @flatz who aided with reversing, bug hunting and hinted earlier today at signing PS4 CFW (PS4 Custom Firmware) through this research... although @Abkarino of Team Rebug also reminds everyone that more hardware exploiting work is necessary.
