Structure

Ernie updates are stored in a packet format.

Packet Header

Any update packet has a common header structure.

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

Packet size varies depending on the hardware revision of Syscon:

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

Packet Types

0x01

Version packet.

This packet is update header field.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Packet Header
0x4 0x4 Ernie Version. Version of the Ernie software update. (ex: 0x0100060B -> 1.0.6.11)
0x8 0x4 Hardware Info. PSVita hardware on which this update can be installed. (ex: 0x00723030)
0xC 0x4 Padding

0x02

Key revision packet.

This packet embeds the encryption key revision used to decrypt the Syscon update packets.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Packet Header
0x4 0x4 Unknown/Unused. Maybe decryption algorithm. (ex: 0)
0x8 0x4 Key revision (ex: 0, 1, 2)
0xC 0x4 Padding
  • Key revision 0 is for Renesas 78K0R Proto. It is supported since at least FW 0.931 (FW 0.902 doesn't support this) until FW 1.692.
  • Key revision 1 is for Renesas 78K0R. It is supported since about FW 1.00. It is the key revision for most Fat PSVitas and for PSTV.
  • Key revision 2 is for Renesas RL78. It is supported since FW 2.50. It is the key revision for PSVita Slim Syscon.

0x03

Warning! This packet is not embedded in the Ernie Update SPKG. It is generated in ARM kernel and sent to Syscon with some Syscon command.

It is related to Syscon commands 0x1185 and 0x1183. See SceSyscon.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Packet Header
0x4 0x1C Unknown

0x10

Encrypted data packet.

Each data packet is AES128CBC encrypted.

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Packet Header
0x4 0x4 Data packet index (ex: 0, 1, ...)
0x8 0x4 Encrypted data size (ex: 0x400 for Renesas RL78, 0x800 for Renesas 78K0R)
