Revision as of 23:31, 29 June 2021
The KBL Param buffer (temporary name was sysroot buffer) is a 0x100 or 0x200 bytes sized buffer passed to the Secure Kernel BootLoader in the scratch space and contains all sorts of flags and system parameters. This buffer is created in Second Loader copied to Secure Kernel, passed to the Secure and Non-Secure Kernel BootLoaders, and finally to the non-secure kernel. It is used by many functions to check for features that are enabled for the system. The strategy in this buffer is to compute once for all the information that is often used, to share it between all security layers not to have to implement generator code many times, and to implement the generation code in the most secure layer: second_loader (excluding first_loader but that's because first_loader is not updatable and has minimum code).

QA flags
In the following table bytes are counted from left to right and bits from left to right too (little-endian). However the OS uses bit masking for QA flags (unlike bit shifting for DIP Switches).
| Byte (0-0xF) - mask = 1 << (bit_no & 7) | Description | Used in |
|---|---|---|
| Byte 0x6 - mask 2 | Allow ScreenShot Always, Np Full Test, Limited Debug Menu Display | Shell, Settings |
| Byte 0x9 - mask 0x1 | Used on 0.931 by SceSblACMgrForKernel_F7524073 | |
| Byte 0xB - mask 0x4 | Use qa spsfo key. If no set, Overwrite qa spsfo key by spsfo key. | kprx_auth_sm |
| Byte 0xB - mask 0x10 | Allow MagicGate, Bypass platform (Test/Tool/Diag) requirement for loading of fSELF with attribute 128 | secure_kernel |
| Byte 0xC - mask 2 | Allow All Debug Menu Display | Settings |
| Byte 0xC - mask 4 | Skip version checks in system updates, Allow DevKit PspEmu | Updater, compat_sm |
| Byte 0xD - mask 1 | Allow Kernel Debug (NSKBL logging level set to 0 instead of 1/2, 1 instead of 2, deci4p_sdbgp), CMeP Debug, USB Enum Wake Up Debug Menu | secure_kernel, most NS and S kernel modules |
| Byte 0xD - mask 2 | Allow Remote Sysmodule Load (host0:), Dictates if you can pass arguments to sceAppMgrLaunchAppByPathForDriver | secure_kernel, SceAppMgr |
| Byte 0xE - mask 1 | Allow Remote SM and Kernel module Load (host0:), Allow ASLR Disable, Force Load Kernel Module in NSKBL (loop until success) | second_loader, secure_kernel, NSKBL |
| Byte 0xF - mask 1 | Allow NonQA Pup, Minimum Debug Menu Display | secure_kernel, update_service_sm, Updater, Settings |
| Byte 0xF - mask 2 | unknown | update_service_sm |
To check: Byte 0xF bit 7, byte 0xE bit 7, byte 0xE bit 6, byte 0xB bit 3: Revocation related.
The data below contains QA Flags captured (at 0x20 in KBL Param) from a System Debugger unit (SD DEM):

Boot flags
These Boot flags come from Ernie NVS.
On FW 3.60, second_loader generates the boot flags as following:
- byte 0 = NVS 0x4A0
- byte 1 = NVS 0x481
- byte 2 = 0
- byte 3 = NVS 0x483
- byte 4 = NVS 0x487
- byte 5 = NVS 0x486
- byte 6-0xF = 0
Example: FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
| Bit | Description |
|---|---|
| 47 | use internal storage |
- byte 0: 0xFF - not update mode
- byte 1: 0xFF - extra UART not enabled
- byte 3: 0xFF - not safe mode
- byte 4: 0xFF - unknown, maybe not used on FWs <= 0.995
- byte 5: 0xFF on FAT - no internal storage or on PSTV or SLIM - internal storage enabled, 0xFE on PSTV or SLIM - internal storage disabled, maybe not used on FWs <= 0.995
DIP Switches
DIP switches area embeds two parts: Communication Processor information as 32-bit integers, followed by DIP switches stored as bit flags.
Note : The values obtained by sceKernelCheckDipsw and KblParam's dipsw may differ.
| Offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x40 | 0x4 | CP Timestamp 1 (ex: 0x4AD86AB3 -> 16/10/2009 14:44:35) |
| 0x44 | 0x2 | CP Version (ex:0x1301 => 1301 on PDEL-100x) |
| 0x46 | 0x2 | CP Board ID (3 on DEM-300xH, 4 on PDEL-100x) |
| 0x48 | 0x4 | CP Timestamp 2 (identical as CP Timestamp 1) |
| 0x4C | 0x4 | ASLR Seed (?USER flags?) (also set on Retail and TestKit) (ex: 0x00000000 on a DEM-300xH) |
| 0x50 | 0x4 | SDK (SCE) flags (ex: 0x80000000, 0x80000001, 0x80000003, 0x81000000, 0x81000001, 0, 2) |
| 0x54 | 0x4 | Shell flags (ex: 0x00000000 on a DEM-300xH) |
| 0x58 | 0x4 | Debug control flags (ex: 0x000413E7 on a DEM-300xH, 0x001453E7 dev mode, 0x00080002 release mode) |
| 0x5C | 0x4 | System control flags (ex: 0x2000001C on a DEM-300xH, 0x20000010 dev mode, 0x20000000 release mode) |
DIP Switches bit flags resolving
Warning: DIP Switches bit flags actually start at offset 0x10 (before that is CP information), which implies the first bit flag number is 128 (bit_num = offset / 8).
DIP Switches bit flags follow little-endian logic, which makes it hard to visualize in commonly used big-endian hexadecimal:
- ((uint32_t *)kbl_param->dipsw[0x10])[0] = 0x00000001 (big-endian in hex) = 01 00 00 00 (little-endian in hex) = 10000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 (little-endian in base 2) <- the 1 corresponds to bit flag number 128
- ((uint32_t *)kbl_param->dipsw[0x10])[0] = 0x00000002 (big-endian in hex) = 02 00 00 00 (little-endian in hex) = 01000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 (little-endian in base 2) <- the 1 corresponds to bit flag number 129
- ((uint32_t *)kbl_param->dipsw[0x10])[0] = 0x00000100 (big-endian in hex) = 00 01 00 00 (little-endian in hex) = 00000000 10000000 00000000 00000000 (little-endian in base 2) <- the 1 corresponds to bit flag number 136
- ((uint32_t *)kbl_param->dipsw[0x10])[0] = 0x80000000 (big-endian in hex) = 00 00 00 80 (little-endian in hex) = 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 (little-endian in base 2) <- the 1 corresponds to bit flag number 159
As you can see this way is not convenient to know in memory on which byte corresponds which bit flag, so instead we can use a formula to convert bit number to offset and bit: offset = (bit_num / 32) * 4, bit = bit_num & 31. This is used for example in the following code:
SceBool sceKernelCheckDipswForDriver(SceUInt32 no) {
return (*(SceUInt32 *)(kbl_param->dipsw + (no >> 5) * 4) >> (no & 31)) & 1;
}
CP Information
Bits 0-31 is a 32-bit integer of the current time on the CP clock. This is duplicated in bits 64-95.
Bits 32-47 is a 16-bit integer of the CP version and bits 48-63 is a 16-bit integer of the CP board ID. All integers are little-endian. On units that do not have a CP, these fields are zeroes.
Bits 96-127 is 32-bit integer ASLR seed that is randomized on each boot in second loader. It can be disabled by setting a specific DIP switch or QA flag byte 0xE mask 1.
Bits 0-63 are also manipulable as general purpose DIP Switches exposed with sceKernelSetDipsw, sceKernelClearDipsw, and sceKernelCheckDipsw but these functions do not change anything in hardware (only cached values are overwritten in SceSysmem).
According to SDK only DIP Switches 0-63 are accessible from usermode, however:
- On FW 0.990 (but not on FW 0.931 nor 3.60), DIP Switch number 237 is the only one out of range 0-63 that can be set from usermode.
- Usermode SELFs can use DIP Switches number > 63 if they have a special attribute or capability in SELF Auth Info.

Bytes meaning
As PSVita uses little-endian, we describe here in the same order, from the lowest to the highest.
First byte
This byte indicates the presence of some components. It works by bit flags:
- 0x01: ?SD card reader? (some DevKit and prototypes)
- 0x02: has WWAN (3G modem). This is what SceBbmc checks to know if 3G is supported.
- 0x04: unknown
- 0x08: ?microUSB? (SLIM only)
- 0x10: is MC emu capable (SLIM and PSTV only). MC Emulation is done by partitionning the internal memory EMMC.
- 0x20: has hw_info_2 (SLIM and PSTV only)
- 0x40: is Show mode
- 0x80: is IDU mode
Second byte
This byte indicates the motherboard minor version. It is relative to the motherboard main version which is indicated by third byte.
Third byte
This byte indicates the motherboard main version:
- 10 -> unknown prototype motherboard, has Syscon, maybe IRS-001, seems to be IRT-002 (to confirm)
- 31 -> IRT-001
- 40 -> IRS-002
- 41 -> IRT-002
- 51 -> PSTV prototype
- 60 -> IRS-1001
- 70 -> DOL-1001
- 72 -> DOL-1002
- 80 -> USS-1001
- 82 -> USS-1002
- 90 -> unknown prototype
We can also guess that flag 1 means that the console has a Communication Processor.
Fourth byte
This byte is reserved in case 3 bytes becomes not enough to handle all Hardware Info:
- 00 -> default, unused
Power Info
Experimental point of view
- No AC connected + No POWER Button pressed: 0x0
ex: rebooting by software PSVita when AC is not connected
- No AC connected + POWER Button pressed: 0x4
ex: booting PSVita by pressing POWER button when AC is not connected
- AC connected + No POWER Button pressed: 0x8
ex: rebooting by software PSVita when AC is connected
ex: autobooting PSTV/IDU PSVita by pluging AC
- AC connected + POWER Button pressed: 0xC
ex: powering off by software PSTV then booting it by pressing POWER button
ex: booting PSVita by pressing POWER button when AC is connected
Bit flags point of view
| Bit | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | AC: connected: 1 - disconnected: 0 (note that PSTV always has AC connected) |
| 1 | POWER button: pressed: 1 - not pressed: 0 |
Hardware flags
| Bit | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | IC Conexant: 1 - yes, 2 - no |
| 5 | unk |
| 6 | unk |
| 7 | unk |
| 14 | unk |
- all zeroes on most cases
- seen values: 47 02, 07 00 on a Slim PSVita
