<b>iplloader</b> <i>(also known as PRE-IPL or BootROM)</i> — is the first code to run on PSP main [[CPU]].
The PRE-IPL called "Lib-PSP iplloader" internally by sony is mapped to 0xBFC00000 which is the reset vector of PSP's MIPS R4000 CPU, on retail PSP units it is the Tachyon (Allegrex MIPS R4000 based SOC) boot rom, on DTP-T1000 it is loaded externally to volatile memory mapped at 0xBFC00000.


Its role is to load and decrypt encrypted [[Initial Program Loader]] from the [[NAND_Flash_Memory|NAND]] or [[Memory Stick]]. iplloader contains the routines to boot into service mode.
0.7.0 Lib-PSP iplloader and onward are composed of two parts: A loader from 0xbfc00000 to 0xbfc0027F and a payload starting at 0xbfc00280 and ending at the size specified at 0xbfc000034 (little endian 0x2 bytes).


= Location =
PS Vita's Lib-PSP iplloader from version 0.996 and onward's payload start at 0xbfc00180 rather than 0xbfc00280 on previous and PSP hardware versions.


On retail PSP units, the iplloader is read from the [[Tachyon]]'s Allegrex MIPS R4000 based SOC boot ROM. On DTP-T1000, the iplloader is loaded externally. See also [[#Behaviour]].
A few example of payload sizes and their hashes are:
 
The PSP main CPU is a custom-made Sony CPU with a MIPS32 core and has an embedded mask rom device (like most embedded systems do) which is exactly 4KB in size. This device holds the iplloader. This iplloader mask rom device is mapped to physical address 0x1FC00000 which is the address of reset exception vector on MIPS CPUs, and this is where the MIPS CPU starts executing from coldboot.
 
= Structure =
 
The BootROM is made up of two parts, the "bootstrap", and the "loader". It is located at physical address 0x1FC00000 and is accessed via non-cached kseg1. The ROM is accessed upon hardware reset, software reset, or NMI. When this occurs, the Status flags are set in the COP0 Status register with following bits set: Boot Exception Vector=1 and Error Level = 1. If its a hardware reset, Software Reset (SR) = 0, or if NMI or software reset it is 1. At this point the PC is set to 0xBFC00000 and it begins to execute instructions. Since this is currently in ROM mode, only registers can be modified.

A few examples of iplloader payload sizes and hashes are listed in the following table.

= Behaviour =
== iplloader Boot Sequence ==
=== Part 1 (iplloader loader) ===
Because the BootROM is stored in non-volatile read-only memory, it cannot use any variable, so the bootstrap of the BootROM copies the loader BootROM (the payload) to the CPU's scratchpad RAM. It is the only RAM available at this time, along with another 4KB block of RAM and the 2MB EDRAM — normal DDR SDRAM has not been initialised yet.


The first thing checked is the 0xBC100000 value, if non-zero, it typically means a NMI exception and it either jumps to the exception vector in COP0 Control Register $9, or if that is not set, to the exception vector in COP0 Status Register $25. On a normal reset (hardware or software), the loader code of the ROM is copied to scratch pad at physical address 0x10000 in cached mode (0x80010000). At this point, it jumps to the real BootROM loader at 0x80010000. A stack is created at 0x80013FF0 as the top of the stack. This allows to the loader to use more typical local variables and memory in addition to registers.
==Devkit behavior==


=== Part 2 (iplloader payload) ===
===bloadp===


The CPU is now executes the iplloader payload from the scratchpad RAM. The iplloader payload initializes the NAND hardware and reads the IPL NAND-block-table which is a table with the physical block numbers of the encrypted IPL's location on the NAND. That table is located at the 4th physical block of the NAND i.e. at offset 0x10000, and is repeated for the next 7 blocks. This is made so that if a bad block is met, the table can still be read. However, if all 8 blocks become bad blocks, it is a non-recoverable brick because the iplloader can no longer locate the IPL. The only solution to this problem is to either boot from Memory Stick instead, or use a custom IPL to patch the iplloader to remap the table. Both solutions require a Pandora battery.
bloadp is used to send kbooti binaries (encrypted pre-ipl data from 0x0 to 0x1000 and IPL blocks at 0x1000) to the DTP-T1000.
bloadp will (through tachsm) initialize the 0x1D600000 memory (from /dev/mem or 0x00000000 from /dev/tachsm0 ; /dev/tachsm1 is mapped from 0x1D400000 to 0x1D5FFFFF) on the [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Communication_Processor Communication Processor] side (0x200000 in size, 0x100000 on the tachsm0 device) which is the DTP-T1000 PSP Shared memory, on the psp/tachyon side it is mapped to 0xBFE00000, it will then write the kbooti binary at 0x1D600000, however on SDK 0.5.0 and below dstdb (which bloadp was originally a part of), it was possible to specify the address to which kbooti would be loaded (default address to be specified was 0xbfc00000, the allowed range was 0xbfc00000-0xbfc10000), this in effect would write kbooti to 0x1D600000/0xBFE00000 + the address specific in the range -0xbfc00000, so for instance if 0xbfc20000 was specified, this would write kbooti to 0xBFE20000, keep in mind that the actual 0xBFC00000 memory mirrors itself every 0x1000 segments.
If bloadp is never invoked, 0x1D700000 to 0x1D7FFFFF is uninitialized memory, it is cleared out as soon as bloadp is invoked.


If the SysCon has set 0xBE240004's 0x10 bit, the Memory Stick is used instead of the NAND for IPL loading.
===Prototype 0.4.0-0.6.0 (23-07-2004 or older) ===
 
Prototype Lib-PSP iplloader will read the IPL blocks in place from 0xBFE01000 and decrypts them to 0x88400000 before jumping there, IPL blocks have no metadata in prototype IPLs instead Lib-PSP iplloader uses 0x88400000 as a hardcoded entry point (see code samples below), in fact the IPL payload/part3, nested inside current IPL revisions and loaded by main.bin are using the prototype format, so the prototype Lib-PSP iplloader loads the IPL part 3/payload directly.
The entire raw IPL is stored on the NAND encrypted. The iplloader payload uses a 4KB RAM as a temporary location to load and decrypt each encrypted IPL block. This RAM is mapped to physical address 0x1FD00000, but is later remapped to 0x1FC00000 to be used as the ME CPU reset exception vector. Because this RAM is only 4KB in size, the encrypted IPL is organised as 4KB blocks on the NAND. As the iplloader decrypts each of the 4KB IPL blocks, it loads the decrypted blocks to the IPL entry address 0x040F0000. This address is located in the 2MB EDRAM which is normally used as VRAM. Normal DDR RAM has not been initialised yet. When the iplloader has finished decrypting and loading all the encrypted IPL blocks, it jumps to the IPL entry address.
It is also of worthy of note that prototype Lib-PSP iplloader for DEM-1000 (for 0.4.0 and 0.6.0 firmwares) do not make use of 0xa0010000 as their payload location, the "payload" is instead executed in place at 0xbfc00000, as such the Lib-PSP iplloader data is not wiped and can be dumped in its entirety using a custom IPL (please note that the IPL format is different than later revision IPLs, prototype IPLs are loaded in a single raw kirk cmd0 0x01 block)
 
== Memory mapping ==
 
The PSP iplloader is mapped to <b>0xBFC00000</b>, which is the MIPS reset vector, <i>i.e CPU initial program counter</i>.
 
0.7.0 iplloader and onward are composed of two parts:
* a loader from <b>0xBFC00000</b> to <b>0xBFC0027F</b>
* a payload from <b>0xBFC00280</b> and ending at the size specified at <b>0xBFC000034</b> (<i>2 bytes with little endian order</i>).
 
The PSP iplloader distributed in PS Vita System Software version 0.996 and onward has its payload starting at 0xBFC00180, rather than at 0xBFC00280 on previous PS Vita software and PSP hardware versions.
 
== DevKit behaviour ==
 
=== bloadp ===
 
bloadp is used to send kbooti binaries (encrypted iplloader data from 0x0 to 0x1000 and IPL blocks at 0x1000) to the DTP-T1000.
 
bloadp (through tachsm) initializes the 0x1D600000 memory (from /dev/mem or 0x00000000 from /dev/tachsm0 ; /dev/tachsm1 is mapped from 0x1D400000 to 0x1D5FFFFF) on the [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Communication_Processor Communication Processor] side (0x200000 in size, 0x100000 on the tachsm0 device) which is the DTP-T1000 PSP Shared memory, on the PSP/Tachyon side it is mapped to 0xBFE00000, it then writes the kbooti binary at 0x1D600000, however on SDK 0.5.0 and below dstdb (which bloadp was originally a part of), it was possible to specify the address to which kbooti would be loaded (default address to be specified was 0xbfc00000, the allowed range was 0xbfc00000-0xbfc10000), this in effect would write kbooti to 0x1D600000/0xBFE00000 + the address specific in the range -0xbfc00000, so for instance if 0xbfc02000 was specified, this would write kbooti to 0xBFE02000, keep in mind that the actual 0xBFC00000 memory mirrors itself every 0x1000 segments.
 
If bloadp is never invoked, 0x1D700000 to 0x1D7FFFFF is uninitialized memory. It is cleared out as soon as bloadp is invoked.
 
=== Prototype 0.4.0-0.6.0 (23-07-2004 or older) ===
 
The prototype iplloader reads the IPL blocks in place from 0xBFE01000 and decrypts them to 0x88400000 before jumping there. Prototype IPL blocks do not contain metadata. Instead iplloader uses 0x88400000 as a hardcoded entry point (see code samples below). In fact the IPL payload, nested inside current IPL revisions and loaded by main.bin are using the prototype format, so the prototype iplloader loads the IPL payload directly.
 
It is also worthy of note that the prototype iplloaders for DEM-1000 (for 0.4.0 and 0.6.0 firmwares) do not make use of physical address 0xA0010000 as their payload location. The iplloader payload is instead executed in place at 0xBFC00000. As such the iplloader data is not wiped and can be dumped in its entirety using a custom IPL. Note that the IPL format is different than later revision IPLs: prototype IPLs are loaded in a single raw Kirk commmand 1 block.

The 0.7.0+ pre-ipl will copy it's Lib-PSP iplloader payload (stored at 0xBFC000280) to 0x80010000 (physical address 0xa0010000) and jump there, because on DTP-T1000 0xbfc00000 is writable during Lib-PSP iplloader execution and because 0xBFD00000 is an invalid range on DTP-T1000, the payload will use the 0xBFC00000 memory (which originally contains the whole Lib-PSP iplloader loader+payload) as work ram; it will however not wipe itself so you can dump the important part (the payload) from 0xa0010000 (assuming you gain execution at IPL time).
The 0.7.0+ iplloader copies its payload from 0xBFC000280 to 0x80010000 i.e. physical address 0xA0010000, and jumps there. Because on DTP-T1000 0xBFC00000 is writable during the iplloader execution, and because 0xBFD00000 is an invalid range on DTP-T1000, the payload uses the 0xBFC00000 memory, which originally contains the whole iplloader as work RAM. However, it does not wipe itself so the payload is dumpable from 0xA0010000, assuming that one has code execution at IPL time.


IPL blocks are then loaded from 0xBFE01000 by the iplloader and copied to 0xBFC00000 where they are decrypted in place and copied to the location of load address specified in the metadata.

2.6.0 kbooti also appears to fix one of the pre-ipl flaws that allowed to load the Pandora time attacked block, it likely either checks for the the entrypoint to not be in the 0xb* range or prevents the use of IPL blocks with 0x0 set as a load address (or both), it does not however check for the data size of the block.
 
Please note that starting from the 3.5.0 kbooti, the chunk of data written to 0xbfc00000 (which is hashed to be used as a seed for IPL part 2 decryption) changes and no longer matches any iplloader code. It is no longer code but random data.

The iplloader adds a step using a 0x40 bytes XOR key to decrypt the CMAC hash and data keys from the IPL block headers. As a result you cannot decrypt using Kirk command 1 the IPL blocks meant for the new iplloader.
==Retail behavior==


The XOR key is overwritten early using a memset to 0 whenever the special Jig emulation mode is used (so the IPL block is xored by 0), this makes it impossible to obtain without glitching, knowing the kbooti CBC encryption key, knowing the xor key beforehand or using an IPL Loader exploit.
pseucode from Tachyon 0x00140000-0x00300000 Lib-PSP iplloader payload:
<pre>
int iplBlockNumber = 0;
u32 checksum = 0;


    if ( MEMORY[0xBFEFFFFC] < 0 )
// load/decrypt all encrypted ipl blocks
    sub_800105F0(&unk_8001088C, 0, 64);
while(1)
{
// copy an encrypted ipl block to 0xBFD00000-0xBFD01000 (4KB embedded cpu ram)
if (LoadIplBlock(iplBlockNum ber, block) < 0)
while(1);


The seed for the IPL decryption (as it is used since 2.6.0) has changed to become a pseudo random 0x2C0 sized blob that is copied back from 0x800109B0 to 0xBFC00000 before jumping to the IPL entry point.
// decrypt the ipl block in place (uh oh...)
SHA-256: 1E6FC02124901F6F5A3F1BB02F065064C63E423D759A131BA1086EA8FC2D90AA
if (DecryptIplBlock(block, block))
while(1);


=== Development Tool Jig Memory Stick Emulation Mode ===
// first block will have zero as its checksum since there is no previous block (another uh oh...)
if (block->checksum != checksum)
while(1);


Starting from kbooti 0.7.0, a special Jig test mode exists. It reads an IPL block at 0x2000 on the Memory Stick instead of address 0xBFE01000 if the following condition is met:
// load the 'data' section of the ipl block to the specified address (0x040Fxxxx range)
if (block->loadaddr)
checksum = memcpy(block->loadaddr, block->data, block->blocksize);


    if ( MEMORY[0xBFEFFFFC] < 0 ) use MS
// reached the end of the ipl, jump to the entry address (0x040F0000)
if (block->entry)
{
// clear caches
Dcache();
Icache();


Indeed, writing 0xFFFFFFFF at 0xBFEFFFFC enables the pseudo service mode and reads the IPL block from the Memory stick. This mode is used by Sony engineers to debug Jig Memory Sticks by writing a kbooti using bloadp and then using reset parameters to set the flag at 0xBFEFFFFC using the sbootp param/arg from the reset command of either dstdb or bsreset (dspreset) such as follows:
// jump to ipl - do not return
/usr/local/sony/bin/bootdispi/dspreset 80000000 (FFFEFFFF for example sets all boot flags to 0xFF), to set the DTP-T1000 into Jig emulation mode.
block->entry();
}


Because flags are incremental, the only way to clear the Jig flag using official SDK tools is to run the bloadp command again as this clears the whole tachsm0 memory including the flags.
iplBlockNumber++;
}


Kbooti remains loaded in memory until the main unit is turned off or bloadp has ran again, allowing then to power cycle through different memory stick.
</pre>


In kbooti revision 3.5.0, this mode skips the XOR step on the Kirk header. It overwrites the XOR key with zeroes in the scratchpad. That allows one to use a regular IPL block to achieve code execution and dump the iplloader payload.

* The XOR of all the blocks' hashes (as computed in the previous step) is computed, and in the last block (entrypoint != 0), offset 0xFA0 contains a signature of this value, which is verified with KIRK command 0x11 using a custom public key stored inside the ROM (0xbc660611a70bd7f2d140a48215c096d11d2d4112, 0xf0e9379ac4e0d387c542d091349dd15169dd5a87).

* The first 0x10 bytes of IPL blocks are, before decryption, xored using a XOR key, stored in the ROM and selected from a value stored in the NAND spare data (see [[NAND Flash Memory]] for more details), or set to 0 for jigkick boot. If this value is zero, the XOR key step is skipped (probably to allow compatibility of the Jig Memory Stick across all devices). Otherwise, bits 0..4 of that value are used as an index on the XOR key table, and bits 5..11 are used as an additional rotation index. In practice, this value is 1 for all targets except 05g, and 05g uses the value 2.

Since the KIRK command 1 ECDSA private key & encryption key were known, the main issues for dumping the iplloader were the XOR keys, the hash check, and the additional ECDSA check on the XOR of hashes.

The XOR keys are easy to disable if you can enable jigkick, which had been done for 03g before Davee dumped the iplloader. (Note that now that we know that it can be disabled writing the appropriate data in the NAND spare data, it could also be circumvented that way.)

The hash check would've been easy to solve, but the fact the block was rotated before being hashed was unknown. Davee glitched this check in order to pass.

For the additional check, it could be skipped using a clever trick: if you set 0xBC10004C as the destination address of the IPL block, then the CPU resets and remaps 0xBFD00000 to 0xBFC00000 then runs back at 0xBFC00000. Since 0xBFD00000 is used as a temporary space for the decrypted IPL, it means you can easily achieve code execution. Davee used this method to dump the iplloader payload, which contains all the relevant information.

dl FFFFFD89


Now that the code is known, the two first issues are very easy to handle. For the last one, an easy trick is that the signature is on the XOR of the SHA1's, which means if you place your own block twice before a legitimate IPL, the two SHA1's will cancel each other and the signature check will pass.

== PS Vita Compatibility mode behaviour ==
</pre>


On PS Vita, PSP iplloader is sent by the <b>Compatibility Security Module</b> (<code>os0:sm/compat_sm.self</code>) to the non-secure ARM kernel, which writes it to <b>0xE8100000</b> (<i>named CompatSharedSram and mapped to the <b>0xBFC00000</b> reset vector on the emulated PSP/Tachyon side</i>).


Then, <code>compat_sm.self</code> sends a specific 0x40-bytes XOR key to be used by the PS Vita's iplloader as a 0x40 bytes XOR mask against the IPL header. The IPL is stored in the <code>pcbc.skprx</code> kernel module.

[[Kirk]] command 1 is then used on the result. Unlike actual PSP units, the IPL is decrypting in a single large block, rather than in multiple blocks.
Lib-PSP iplloader is sent by the compat secure module to the non-secure kernel which writes it to 0xE8100000 (called CompatSharedSram and mapped to the 0xBFC00000 reset vector on the psp/tachyon side)
compat_sm will then send a specific 0x40 bytes key to be used for by the vita's Lib-PSP iplloader as a 0x40 bytes XOR mask against the IPL header (the IPL is stored in the pcbc.skprx kernel module).
Kirk cmd 1 will then be used on the result. Unlike on actual PSP units, the IPL is decrypted in a single large block rather than in multiple blocks.


The 0x40 bytes key gets updated depending on the firmware version in use.
The 0x40 bytes key gets updated depending on the firmware version in use.


A 0x40 bytes XOR mask is also part of the 3.50+ DTP-T1000 security [[#Behaviour|(<i>see PSP iplloader section</i>)]].
A 0x40 bytes XOR mask is also presumably how the PSP-3000 (and newer), as well as the 3.50+ DTP-T1000 security, is most likely handled.
