IdStorage

See also [1].

Description

Region of the PSVita eMMC where perconsole info is stored.

Location

Idstorage data is stored at first raw partition (code 0x1). Use [2] to extract.

Structure

The IdStorage partition is divided in two parts: the mapping table and the leaves.

Mapping table

The mapping table is located at the start of the partition. It's an array of 16-bit leaf IDs that serves as a leaf ID->index mapping table. The mapping table must be at least one-sector wide but may be bigger.

There are two leaf IDs reserved for usage in the mapping table: all entries corresponding to the mapping table (i.e. the first M entries for an M sectors sized table) must hold the value 0xFFF5, and all unallocated leaves hold the value 0xFFFF.

To lookup a leaf index based on its ID, use the following algorithm:

#define M /* implementation defined */
#define SECTOR_SIZE (512)

#define NUM_TABLE_ITEMS ((M * SECTOR_SIZE) / sizeof(uint16_t))
uint16_t g_mappingTable[NUM_TABLE_ITEMS];

int leafIndexFromId(unsigned id) {
   if (id >= 0xFFF0)
       return /* ERROR: invalid leaf ID */;

   for (int i = 0; i < NUM_TABLE_ITEMS; i++) {
      if (g_mappingTable[i] == id)
         return i;
   }
   return /* ERROR: leaf ID is not in mapping table */;
}

Leaves

Leaves are sector-sized (512 bytes) areas in the IdStorage partition used to store arbitrary data. While the data stored may be smaller, a leaf always occupies one sector in the partition.

To read a leaf's data, obtain the leaf index (this can be known directly, or obtained from a leaf ID using the previously mentioned algorithm) then read 512 bytes starting at offset 512 * leafIndex in the IdStorage partition.

Limits

The number of leaves that can be stored in an IdStorage partition is limited by three factors: the size of the partition, the size of the mapping table and the size of leaf IDs.

• An M sectors wide mapping table can hold up to 255 * M leaves
  • This is because a single-sector mapping table can reference SECTOR_SIZE/sizeof(u16) - 1 = 255 leaves (the - 1 is needed because a table consumes one entry for itself)
• A P sectors wide partition can hold up to P - M leaves
  • This is because leaves are sector-sized, and the mapping table consumes M sectors
• There are 65520 leaf IDs available
  • While an unsigned 16-bit variable can hold 65536 values, IDs superior or equal to 0xFFF0 are reserved and cannot be used

From this, we can conclude that an IdStorage partition of P sectors with an M sectors mapping table can hold up to min(255*M, P-M, 65520) leaves. We can also deduce an IdStorage partition is optimally shaped (no space is non-allocatable) when P = 256 * M.

On Vita, the IdStorage partition is 512KiB and 32 sectors are reserved for the indexing table (P = 1024, M = 32, a non-optimal choice), which means the console's partition can hold up to 992 IdStorage leaves.

Leaf content

In this section, the following conventions and terms are used:

• Empty: area has all bits set to 1 (i.e., 0xFF)
• Present / Not present: the leaf exists in IdStorage partition
• The content of a leaf always starts at offset 0.
• If leaf contents are smaller than 512 bytes, the unused parts are left empty.

Leaves not listed in this section have not been found in any unit, and leaves listed in this section are not all found in every unit.

The following information may not be valid for all pre-production units (DEM/CEM).

Idps certificates

Leaves 0x000~0x07F are written to IdStorage during manufacturing by a function called _writeIdpsCert.

Leaf 0x07E contains the signed SHA-256 digest of leaves 0x000~0x07D (signed using RSA-2048). The public key used for signature verification can be found in factTest.self.

Leaf 0x07F is not covered by the signature but is flashed in _writeIdpsCert nonetheless.

Empty leaves

The following leaves have always been observed to only contain zeroes:

• 0x008~0x01F
• 0x028~0x03F
• 0x050~0x07D
• 0x7F

0x000~0x007 - SceIdStoragePspCertificates

Identical across all units and duplicated in leaves 0x020 to 0x027.

0x040~0x047 - SceIdStoragePsp2Certificates

Console-unique.

0x048~0x04F

Console-unique. May be certificate(s).

0x07E

Console-unique.

The RSA-2048 signature of the Idps certificates (2048 bits/256 bytes) is located at offset 0x60 of this leaf.

Data contained between 0x0 and 0x5F is unknown, and data between 0x160 and 0x1FF is unused (always 00).

0x80 - SMI

Service / Manufacturing Information (SMI)

Console-unique. Contains minimal firmware version (checked in second_loader).

struct SMILeaf {
    uint8_t magic[4]; //'SMI\0'
    uint32_t version; //1
    uint32_t min_fwv; //Minimal firmware version
    uint8_t unused[0x80 - 0xC];
    //Encrypted with per-console keys.
    //This is used to verify the leaf has not been modified.
    uint8_t encrypted_data[0x200 - 0x80];
};

0x100

Name may be Idlog.

Console-unique. Strings related to manufacturing.

One string starts at offset 0, and one string starts at offset 0x100. Both strings occupy 0x100 bytes (unused space is filled with zeroes).

The string at offset 0x100 is written at a different stage (end of manufacturing?) than the string at offset 0, so it is possible to find units with only first string written (e.g., a Dolphin CEM-3000 unit).
