The Syscon is responsible for handling button input (including power button), and contains non-volatile memory for storing system flags (mostly encrypted and signed). For example Kiosk flag is stored here. Syscon is also responsible for maintaining the physical address to the resume buffer during Suspend. Communication between Kermit and Syscon is mainly through SPI (see SceSyscon) but there are also some GPIO pins connecting the two.

Boot Process

The following is logged from boot. The timestamp is in seconds (the starting time is irrelevant). The arrow at the start indicates direction: '>' means Kermit to Syscon (MOSI) and '<' means Syscon to Kermit (MISO). Then there is a 2 byte command id or response code, followed by a flag byte (response only), the payload, a checksum byte, and an (response only) unknown byte. Please note that the packets are listed in transfer order but this may not represent the logical order of the packets. It is currently unknown what the logical order should be, but one can guess that a response is "close to" a request.

First some version information seems to be sent from Syscon to Kermit. This is same for cold boot and resume boot.

Next some encrypted session is established. A 8 byte nonce is sent from Syscon (it appears random for each boot, cold or warm). Encrypted data from this point on always differs each boot.

Some more data is exchanged. Up until this point all the plaintext payloads appear to be the same from coldboot and warmboot.

Then another set of shared sequence. Some differences in the warmboot responses though. On line 18,

FF BF FF 74

becomes

FF FF FF 74

. On line 12, the

00 00 00 00

becomes the address of the resume buffer (ex

F0 1E 1F 41

).

Then, the two boot paths diverge completely (also note the time jump). It is suspected that at this point the kernel is started up on coldboot, and the kernel resumes for warmboot. For cold boot only, we see the beginning init sequence again, which is likely done in SceSyscon.

Commands

Commands are listed in the order seen in cold boot. The numbers in the captured packets indicate the assumed order with some unused packets filtered out (they appear to be resent). The ordering and grouping are assumed and may contain errors.

CMD 0x0001

Gets some device specific version. Maybe chipset revision? Can also be seen in the packet header in Syscon Update. Also sent at kernel boot.

CMD 0x0005

Gets some device specific version. Maybe chipset revision? Can also be seen in the packet header in Syscon Update.

CMD 0x0002

CMD 0x00A0

Runs twice. Appears to contain a 8 byte inner header. First packet sends all zeros and gets back a 8 byte random response. This is likely a nonce or challenge. This likely establishes an encrypted session. Encrypted data differs on each boot.

This fetches the saved resume buffer paddr. Kernel sets this before suspending and this value is passed to the resume function. See Suspend. The format is 2 byte index and 1 byte length. There are likely other data stored at other indexes.
