The Nintendo Switch's bootloader (called "package1") is the first custom piece of code running on the Switch. It is loaded in the IRAM and launched by the Tegra X1 bootROM according to the BCT. It runs on the boot processor, an ARM7TDMI called "BPMP" by NVidia (Boot and Power Management Processor).
+
Present in the firmware package titles (0100000000000819, 010000000000081A, 010000000000081B and 010000000000081C) and installed into eMMC storage's [[Flash_Filesystem#Boot_Partitions|boot partitions 0 and 1]], "package1" contains the first Switch bootloader ("Package1ldr") to run under the NVIDIA boot processor (an ARM7TDMI called "BPMP", "BPMP-Lite", "AVP" or "COP"), as well as the actual encrypted package1 ("PK11") blob containing the second Switch Bootloader and TrustZone code.
−
It is split into two parts, one that is in plaintext, one that is encrypted. The bootROM does not perform any symmetric cryptographic operations on the bootloader it loads.
 
  
−
== Stage 1 ==
+
The boot ROM validates, copies to IRAM and executes this package by parsing it's information block from the [[BCT|BCT]].
  
−
The first stage of the bootloader is the plaintext part of the bootloader. It has four goals: to power on devices, to look for incoherencies, to generate keys, and to decrypt and launch the second stage.
+
= Format =
−
The stage 1 bootloader's authors knew that the code was in plaintext, and thus took extra care to try to protect the bootloader from side-channel attacks.
+
== Erista ==
 +
This package is distributed as a plaintext initial bootloader (package1ldr) and a secondary encrypted blob ("PK11"). Execution starts at plaintext package1ldr which will set up hardware, generate keys and decrypt the next stage.

=== Package1ldr ===
 +
The code for this stage is stored in plaintext inside the package. By looking into the BCT's bootloader0_info (normal) or bootloader1_info (safe mode), the boot ROM starts executing this stage at address 0x40010020 in IRAM (0x40010040 for 4.0.0+).

After setting up the stack and branching to main, stage 1 poisons all the exception vectors to point at the panic function.

It then clears the (empty) bss and calls the functions in the (empty) init array.

* Registers are setup

[6.2.0+] The bootloader maintains most of its design, but passes execution to a [[TSEC]] payload and is left in an infinite loop.
−
* A device (?) is powered on
 
−
* Flags are set on the clock-reset registers
 
−
* [3.0.0+] The security engine address is setup
 
−
* [3.0.0+] Bit30 of offset 0x800 of the security engine is checked: if set, panic.
 
−
* The SKU info is checked. If it doesn't match 0x83, panic.
 
−
* Fuse coherency is checked, potentially panicking.
 
−
* The copy of the BCT left by the bootROM is checked. If the version field doesn't match the expected version field, panic.
 
−
* Anti-downgrade fuses are checked, potentially panicking.
 
−
* [1.0.0-2.3.0] Fuse programming is disabled until next reboot.
 
−
* The memory controller is powered on and setup to allow GPU DMA to the IRAM. This will be needed to interact with the Falcon and with the security engine.
 
−
* [1.0.0-2.3.0] The security engine address is setup
 
−
* [1.0.0-2.3.0] Bit30 of offset 0x800 of the security engine is checked: if set, panic.
 
−
* Key generation is performed. If the unit type is equal to 0 (non-retail) AND if some fuse is clear, the secondary method will be used. Else, the main method will be used.
 
−
* Stage 2 is decrypted with keyslot 0xB. Keyslot 0xB is cleared, and the second stage's header validity is checked. If any of this fails, panic.
 
−
* The entrypoint of stage 2 is computed.
 
−
* The stack is pivoted to a secondary stack, the main stack and the key area are cleared, and stage 1 jumps to stage 2's entrypoint.

===== Key generation =====

==== Panic ====
+
[6.2.0+] The key generation process was moved into an encrypted [[TSEC]] payload.
  
−
The panic function does the following things:
+
====== Selection ======
−
* It clears the stack
+
Depending on [[Fuses#FUSE_RESERVED_ODM4|FUSE_RESERVED_ODM4]] and [[Fuses#FUSE_SPARE_BIT_5|FUSE_SPARE_BIT_5]] different static seeds are selected for key generation.
−
* It disables(?) and clears the security engine
 
−
* It sets a fuse (so that Nintendo knows that you attempted to mess with the bootloader)
 
−
* It clears the key area
 
−
* It clears the data for stage 2
 
−
* It signals over the debug interface that a panic occurred until the Switch is reset.

−
In all cases, at the end of the key generation function three keys are generated: the stage 2 key (stored in keyslot 0xB), the master static key (stored in keyslot 0xC), and the master device key (stored in keyslot 0xD).
+
====== generate_retail_keys ======
−
The two keys initialized by the bootROM (the SBK, stored in keyslot 0xE, and the SSK, stored in keyslot 0xF) are cleared immediately after the bootloader is finished using them.
+
In order to generate retail keys, the bootloader starts by initializing TSEC and grabbing it's [[TSEC#TSEC_key_generation|device key]]. Using static seeds and the SBK, the keyblob injected into the BCT's [[BCT#customer_data|customer_data]] is validated and decrypted. The resulting keys will then be used to generate the master static key and the master device key.
−
Keyslots 0xC and 0xD are marked unreadable. Keyslot 0xB is not, but is is cleared by stage 1 after stage 2's decryption anyway.

The secondary method (which is never launched on retail units) is very simple.
+
=== Package1 (PK11) ===
−
First a master static seed is selected (depending on whether the bootloader's RSA modulus ends with 0x11).
+
This blob is stored encrypted inside the package and is decrypted by package1ldr.
−
Then, a constant block is decrypted by the SBK. The result is the stage 2 key and will be stored in keyslot 0xB.
 
−
A constant block will be decrypted by the SBK and temporarily stored in keyslot 0xC. Another constant block will be decrypted by the SSK and temporarily stored in keyslot 0xD.
 
−
Both the SBK and the SSK are cleared.
 
−
The master static seed is decrypted with keyslot 0xC and stored in keyslot 0xC.
 
−
A constant block is decrypted with keyslot 0xD and stored in keyslot 0xD.  
 
  
−
== Stage 2 ==
+
==== Encryption ====
 +
The encrypted blob is prepended with it's CTR and total image size. After checking the image's size against an hardcoded value (can change on firmware updates), the image is AES-CTR decrypted and the keyslot used for decryption is immediately cleared.
  
−
The second stage of the bootloader is the encrypted part of the bootloader. It is much bigger than stage 1, but what it does is currently unknown due to its being encryptd.

Present in the firmware package titles (0100000000000819, 010000000000081A, 010000000000081B and 010000000000081C) and installed into eMMC storage's boot partitions 0 and 1, "package1" contains the first Switch bootloader ("Package1ldr") to run under the NVIDIA boot processor (an ARM7TDMI called "BPMP", "BPMP-Lite", "AVP" or "COP"), as well as the actual encrypted package1 ("PK11") blob containing the second Switch Bootloader and TrustZone code.

The boot ROM validates, copies to IRAM and executes this package by parsing it's information block from the BCT.

Format

Erista

This package is distributed as a plaintext initial bootloader (package1ldr) and a secondary encrypted blob ("PK11"). Execution starts at plaintext package1ldr which will set up hardware, generate keys and decrypt the next stage.

The code for this stage is stored in plaintext inside the package. By looking into the BCT's bootloader0_info (normal) or bootloader1_info (safe mode), the boot ROM starts executing this stage at address 0x40010020 in IRAM (0x40010040 for 4.0.0+).

Memory controllers

After disabling fuse programming, the bootloader configures the EMC and MEM/MC. It additionally disables QSPI resets and programs a special aperture designed for AHB redirected access to IRAM.

[6.2.0+] MC_IRAM_TOM is now set to 0x80000000 to allow TSEC to access IRAM and all MMIO.

Key generation

After the security engine is ready and before decrypting the next stage, the bootloader initializes and generates several keys into hardware keyslots. For more details on the Switch's cryptosystem, please see this page.

[6.2.0+] The key generation process was moved into an encrypted TSEC payload.

Depending on FUSE_RESERVED_ODM4 and FUSE_SPARE_BIT_5 different static seeds are selected for key generation.

generate_retail_keys

In order to generate retail keys, the bootloader starts by initializing TSEC and grabbing it's device key. Using static seeds and the SBK, the keyblob injected into the BCT's customer_data is validated and decrypted. The resulting keys will then be used to generate the master static key and the master device key.
