FIFA 2015 PS4 Game Dump by Knights of the Fallen (KOTF)
After their FIFA 2014 release today PlayStation 4 scene group KOTF returns with their latest PS4 game dump of FIFA 2015 for 1.76 console owners keeping Umar's dream of running PS4 ELF Loader and Full Game Backups for free alive! 
Of course for most without a 1.76 console using the current methods this dream is still just a fantasy, but when the time comes and these scene releases can be used on higher version firmware PS4 consoles then we'll all be able to laugh at GameStop trying to charge $4.99 for this old used game.

PS4 UART to DCSD Project Pictures & Details by Qwertyoruiopz
It's been awhile since sharing his decrypted sl-config.xml.env, and following past PS4 UART updates and PS4 Hardware Pinouts today PlayStation 4 developer qwertyoruiopz posted some pictures of his latest PS4 UART to DCSD project on Twitter! 
From the related Tweets below, it appears he's using hardware and mapping techniques while working on dumping PlayStation 4 UART debug logs and may end up bruteforcing commands via the syscon UART as suggested by VVildCard777 in hopes to obtain more information on the PS4 system controller for developers.
Using DCSD as generic UART to USB. Easy to do without soldering by just sticking jumpers in the hot glue.
Not too shabby of a solder job. Here's to hoping the PS4 still boots!

And PS4 actually boots! Ayy
Dumping flash?

I see you have syscon uart connected there, planning on bruteforcing commands? had no luck with it yet myself, need to make a good go of it.
i have waaay more than 7 leftover lool. I just put in bare minimum to hold everything together more or less.
I just connected both because I don't really wanna open the PS4 again. But after looking into it it sounds interesting.
i kinda overheateded the board with the soldering iron tip on one point. maybe some trace could have gotten damaged. thankfully not
Because I don't have any handy and got plenty of...
