FIRM

All files under RomFS were updated.

The only KIPs with IPC changes were FS, pm, and NCM.

NX_BOOTLOADER

NX bootloader was updated, and is now stored compressed. Before executing, a small stub now uncompresses the bootloader to 0x40004000, size 0x1C000.

Secure Monitor

The Secure Monitor was updated, and is now stored compressed. Before executing, a small stub now uncompresses the main TrustZone image to 0x7C010800 size 0xC800, and environment setup code to 0x40032000 size 0xC000.

• The 0x100 region used for NX_BOOTLOADER <-> SecureMonitor communications is now 0x40000000 instead of 0x40002E00.
• Memory permissions for .rodata have been fixed, it is now correctly mapped R-- instead of RW-.
• Sealed old keys are now stored in the auxilliary data page (0x1F01FA000) instead of in .rwdata.
  • An 0x10 block in the auxilliary page is now used for intermediate key derivation, instead of a block on the stack. This block is only memcleared once at the end, instead of after every time it is used.
• TrustZone code is now cleared from IRAM before signalling to NX_BOOTLOADER that the SecMon is awake.
• A function for getting HardwareType based on fuses now returns 0xF whenever it would previously have returned a non-zero value.
  • This function is called by smcGetConfig when ConfigItem_HardwareType is passed in.
• Warmboot.bin has been moved again, and is now copied from 0x4003E000 size 0x17F0 instead of 0x4003D800 size 0x1FF0
• Code configuring what peripherals to set secure-world only now assumes that the code is a retail unit.
  • GetRetailType() is still called (though result is discarded), this probably means they now have compile-time switches for retail vs dev.

Warmboot

• The firmware revision magic was changed from 0xA8 to 0x129.

System Titles

All titles were updated, except: "Chinese and Korean dictionaries", "European English and Japanese dictionaries", EULA, "Blacklist URL", "Dummy file", "Hoag system config", and flog.

• Web-applets were updated. "/whitelist/WhitelistEc.txt" in LibAppletShop was updated: "^https://([0-9A-Za-z\-]+\.)*eshop\.nintendo\.net($|/)" was changed to "^https://([0-9A-Za-z\-]+\.)*nintendo\.net(/|$)".
• ControllerFirmware: "/ukyosakyo_ep2_ota.bin" and the .csv were updated.
