Console-unique keys seem to be derived from here, though it is unknown how. Access to this region is disabled once the ARM9 writes 0x2 to [[CONFIG|REG_SYSPROT9]].

This is very likely the console-unique data store, including [[CTCert]] and other unit info values, that ends up in ITCM at 0x01FFB800. Bootrom would decrypt it, check for magic (0xDEADB00F), and then set CFG_UNITINFO, etc to match the specific console at hand. This is a guess based on the matching size of both sets of data (ITCM's is padded to 0x100, specifically) and the lack of another known source for this data on the system (it is not sourced from eMMC). On top of this, the latter half of this data is likely used as console-unique keydata, thus explaining ITCM's copy being memcleared and the OTP lock mechanism existing. Refer to [[Memory_layout#ARM9_ITCM]] for what is contained in the decrypted OTP.

This region (0x10012000-0x10012100) is used as persistent storage on SoC and for passing the TWL console ID around (0x10012100-0x10012108).

Overview

Console-unique keys are derived from here. Access to this region is disabled once the ARM9 writes 0x2 to REG_SYSPROT9.

This is the console-unique data store, including CTCert etc, that ends up in ITCM at 0x01FFB800. After decryption, the first 0x90-bytes of plaintext are copied to 0x01FFB800 if hash verification passes. Refer to Memory_layout#ARM9_ITCM for what is contained in the decrypted OTP.

On FIRM versions prior to 3.0.0-X, this region was left unprotected. On versions since 3.0.0-X, this has been fixed, and the region disable is now done by Kernel9 after doing console-unique TWL keyinit, by setting bit 1 of REG_SYSPROT9. However, with the New_3DS FIRM ARM9 binary this is now done in the FIRM ARM9 binary loader, which also uses the 0x10012000 region for New 3DS key generation.

On development units (UNITINFO != 0) ARM9 uses the first 8-bytes from 0x10012000 for the TWL Console ID. This region doesn't seem to be used by NATIVE_FIRM on retail at all, besides New3DS key-generation in the ARM9-loader.

Normally Boot9 will pass plaintext_otp+0x90 to the AES keyinit function, but when hash verification fails it will pass 0x10012000(otp+0) instead.
