Structure

Ernie firmware updates are stored in a packet format.

Packet Header

Any Syscon firmware update packet has a common 4-byte header structure.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x1 Type (ex: 1, 2, 3, 0x10, 0x20)
0x1 0x1 Data offset (ex: 0x10, 0x18)
0x2 0x2 Data size (ex: 0, 0x20, 0x400, 0x800)

Data size varies with the packet type and also with the hardware revision of Syscon: 

Renesas 78K0R/Kx3: 0x800
Renesas 78K0R/Kx3-L: 0x400
Renesas RL78/G13: 0x400

0x152e 3.600.011-3.740.011 unknown Seen in Ernie firmware shipped with System Software version 3.600.011 but not in ARM update_mgr.skprx.

Remarks

On ARM update_mgr.skprx shipped with System Software version 0.996.090:

  • Only run mode 0x9a54 is used as only SPKG Type 8 is supported concerning Syscon firmware update.

On ARM update_mgr.skprx shipped with System Software version 3.60:

  • runModeFlag can be 0, 2 or 3. runModeFlag is checked for value 1 but this value 1 is never set.

On Ernie firmware shipped with System Software version 3.60:

  • Only updater run mode 0x72BA seems to be actually useful.
  • Modes 0x9A54 and 0x152E are recognized but just make the function return without doing anything.
  • Mode 0xC5E7 is not recognized by Ernie firmware shipped with System Software version 3.60, although it is present on ARM side.

Ernie Update steps

  • ARM PS Vita updater arrives at last step: Ernie update.
  • ARM PS Vita updater decrypts Ernie update SPKGs til it finds one whose Hardware Info matches.
  • ARM PS Vita updater sends run mode 0x9a54 to Ernie using Syscon command 0x1183 (sceSysconUpdaterSetRunModeForDriver).
  • If (ernie_DL_version & 0xffffff) >= 0x3600, a handshake is done using Syscon command 0xD0 (SceSysconForDriver_4D03754A) through update_service_sm function 0xD0002.
  • ARM PS Vita updater sends if needed a new run mode to Ernie using Syscon command 0x1183 (sceSysconUpdaterSetRunModeForDriver).
  • ARM PS Vita updater computes sha1 checksum over the decrypted concatenated data (sceSysconUpdaterCalcChecksumForDriver).
  • ARM PS Vita updater sends the encrypted segment number directly to Ernie using Syscon command 0x1180 (sceSysconUpdaterSetSegmentForDriver).
  • ARM PS Vita updater sends the encrypted segment chunks directly to Ernie using Syscon command 0x1181 (sceSysconUpdaterSendProgramDataForDriver / sceSysconUpdaterSendProgramData2ForDriver).
  • ARM PS Vita updater sends the segment checksum directly to Ernie using Syscon command 0x1182 (sceSysconUpdaterExecFinalizeForDriver).
  • ARM PS Vita updater sends the total checksum directly to Ernie using Syscon command 0x1184 (sceSysconUpdaterExecFinalizeForDriver).
  • Ernie decrypts concatenated received segments using AES128CBC.
  • Ernie computes sha1 checksum over the decrypted concatenated data and compares with the received checksum.
