it has been discovered that the microcode rom uses as architecture IBM Risc System 6000. some evidence:

i'm kinda curious as to why noone dumped the coreos on these units, as it provides valuable information for AV firmwares (having only two pups of this and nothing else kinda sucks)
So, as you might all be aware, the lv0ldr and metldr contain perconsole crypto that is handled either by a rom and fuses or by RTL that would make it impossible to retrieve without expending quite a lot of cash on chip analysis (which is money that i didn't have back when i started this project)...
All except DEBUG UART are dip switches. DEBUG UART is to give you logs, so you just use a normal uart chip, something like CP2102, to communicate with it and tell you what's happening. TX to RX and RX to TX in the CP2102 case (you can see in photo)
