How to Make a Jig USB for PS3

A jig USB device for the Sony PlayStation 3 is a USB stick that places the PS3 into an elevated user mode. From this mode you can install custom package files that are made from PS3 owners and developers. When a USB jig is plugged into the PS3 with the proper button combination, the PS3 enters a "custom interface" mode. A jig device can be made from Atmel USB development boards and updated each time a new USB jig HEX file is released.
