The Nintendo 3DS has a 1GB NAND Flash chip.
Format
Reading of the flash chip is possible through pinouts on the motherboard and has been performed successfully but the data is encrypted and can't be understood without first decrypting it.
Encryption
The NAND file system is encrypted using AES-CTR. The TWL regions of NAND use the TWL NAND keyslot, while the CTR regions use the CTR NAND keyslots. The keyslot used for CTR-NAND partitions is determined by the NCSD partition FS type. The TWL/CTR NAND regions are specified by the NCSD header. The first 0x0B100000 bytes of NAND is encrypted with the TWL keyslot, however before 0x00012E00 only the MBR partition table is encrypted with the TWL keyslot. That region contains the TWL partitions listed below.
Partitions
| Name | Offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| twln | 0x00012E00 | 0x08FB5200 | TWL-NAND FAT16 File System. (DSi) |
| twlp | 0x09011A00 | 0x020B6600 | TWL-NAND PHOTO FAT12 File System. (DSi) |
| ? | 0x0B100000 | 0x00030000 | |
| firm0 | 0x0B130000 | 0x00400000 | Firmware partition. |
| firm1 | 0x0B530000 | 0x00400000 | Firmware partition.(Backup partition, same as above) |
| nand | 0x0B930000 | 0x2F5D0000 | CTR-NAND FAT16 File System. (3DS) |
3DS TWL NAND FAT partitions has FAT volume name "TWL", for CTR FAT partitions this is "CTR". The offset/size for TWL partitions are stored in the MBR partition table, while the CTR partition table info is stored in the NAND NCSD header.
None of the above physical NAND partitions are normally accessible from the ARM11, except for twlp. CTR/TWL NAND can only be accessed when the exheader access control descriptor for those are enabled. Normally the CTR/TWL NAND descriptors are never enabled for retail ARM11 CXI processes. The ARM11 can only access "nand:/rw/" mounted as the nandrw archive, and "nand:/ro/" mounted as the nandro archive below.
CTR partition
The structure of nand/title appears to be exactly the same as SD, except savegames are stored under the nand/data/<ID0>/sysdata directory instead. The sub-directory name under nand/data is the SHA256 hash over the movable.sed keyY, except for this dirname each hex u32 is byte-swapped. This nand/data/<ID0> directory is the NAND equivalent of the "sdmc/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>" directory, however the data contained here is stored in cleartext. The nand/data/<ID0>/extdata directory contains the shared extdata, and is structured exactly the same way as SD extdata. (ID0 is the first 0x10-bytes from a SHA256 hash)
The "nandrw" archive is mounted at "nand:/rw/", while the "nandro" archive is mounted at "nand:/ro/".

TWL partition
The structure of these TWL partitions is mostly the same as DSi, except tickets are stored in the CTR FAT FS. The twlp partition is exactly the same as DSi. The structure of twln/title is exactly the same as CTR NAND/SD, except the .cmd file is a cleartext file.(This is likely a dummy file) The data directory under system titles' /title directory does not exist, this likely only exists for DSiWare. The directory names titleID-High used under twln/title is from DSi.
