Playstation Update Package (PUP)
Description
PUP (Playstation Update Package) files are packages which contain the files used to update a PSP or PS3 system. There are 2 different types: patches (PS3PATCH.PUP) and full updates (PS3UPDAT.PUP). Based on the model, there are 4 different release types: Retail/CEX, Shop/SEX, Debug/DEX and Tool/DECR. Within the Retail/CEX there are 2 file versions: 1 is a PUP with a normal file length which also gets released online. The other PUP file version is the same, except it is zero-filled after the normal PUP content to a fixed filelength of 256MB, which gets released on Gamedisks (if gamecreators build their project to a premaster and give it to Sony for signing, they just use a placeholder of a 256MB PS3UPDAT.PUP which contains no firmwaredata at all - it is completely zerofilled. Sony decides the firmware that gets on the disk and for which firmware the 'Gold' code is signed and mastered).
Location
PSVita
The PSVita and PSVita TV OS can install the update as /PSP2/UPDATE/PSP2UPDAT.PUP or as /PSVITA/UPDATE/PSVUPDAT.PUP.
The update comes from:
http://djp01.psv.update.playstation.net/update/psv/image/image/<YYYY_MMDD>/pre_<md5>/PSVUPDAT.PUP
It is only used by sony on the website. That's why there is no update list on that server.

To document.
PSVita
Each PUP contain updates for different partitions of the system. Most packages, once decrypted, decompressed and pieced together are a raw disk image for the partition to update. Sometimes a TAR archive patch is also used along with the disk images but not as often. Sony usually releases three kinds of update files, each to update different components: full, systemdata and preinst.
There are different types of PSVita .PUP:
full
This contains the actual system files. The main components are os0, vs0, and the bootloader partition.
systemdata
Systemdata PUPs only update the sa0 partition. It is likely separated from the main update due to it not regularly needing updates and size concerns.
preinst
Preinst PUPs only update the pd0 partition. This is the Welcome Park application and the initial setup movie. It is likely separated from the main update because of the size.
com
Unknown. Maybe stands for Common.
modeldiff
Unknown. Maybe stands for Model Differences.
Debug
Debug updates for PTEL-XXXX and PDEL-XXXX do not separate into different PUPs. A single PUP will update all components. Additionally updates for PDEL units contains updates for the CP and probably other development unit specific components.

Update List
PS3
There is no regioning in the .PUP files, they are the same for all different regions (if you were looking for regioninfo, see here).
The PS3 however gets the ps3-updatelist.txt from different servers, depending on the region of that model (last 2 numbers in the CECHxxXX SKU name).

PSVita
Contrarly to PS3, there is no regioning in the .PUP files: they are the same for all different regions.
However, the PSVita gets the psp2-updatelist.xml from different servers, depending on the region of that model.
On retail (CEX) consoles, when you check for updates via WiFi in settings the console will download an XML file based on the console's region code. For example on PSVitas sold within the United States the URL for the XML file is http://fus01.psp2.update.playstation.net/update/psp2/list/us/psp2-updatelist.xml.
When this file is read by the system, the region id MUST match the system region.
Possible regions are: jp, us, au, uk, eu, kr, sa, tw, ru, mx, cn and on devkit you must use the region id 257 and 258 for testkit's.
The file must be no larger than 65535 bytes, and the URL's specifying where to download the .PUP from can be no longer than 1024 characters, it also must be a direct URL to the content *including "http://" protocol*.
When selecting "Update via connecting to PC" the console instead connected to Content Mannager Assistant and then CMA downloads the updatelist file and the PUP files from PC side and sends it back to the vita, because of this using a custom Content Mannager Assistant such as QCMA you can just send whatever psp2-updatelist you want to the vita. this is also what happens with "Update via connecting to PS3".
On devkit and testkit you can configure your own URL for the psp2-updatelist.xml file in Debug Settings > System Update and this setting can be overridden by placing a file at ux0:/PSP2/UPDATE/SERVER_URL.TXT or host0:/PSP2/UPDATE/SERVER_URL.TXT.

Running your own local update server
Note: this is untested, please report back!
Using a webserver (apache, lighttpd, nginx, etc. whatever your preference is) and proxy/firewall to catch http://f**01.psp2.update.playstation.net/update/psp2/list/**/psp2-updatelist.xml" and point it to your local server you could[1] have more control over the updates/bandwith. Of course you need to have every PSP2UPDATE.PUP file you reference to, otherwise it errors out.
In this example the webserver is configured at http://192.168.0.254, region is set to eu[2]. Change it to your own need.

Installation
To install firmware via USB Mass Storage Devices (e.g. USB-stick, Memory Stick, SD-card, Compact Flash with at least 256MB free), place the PS3UPDAT.PUP file in the following folder structure: /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
- The update location for Kiosk is the same as Retail/CEX.
- The update location for disc media (CD, DVD, BD-ROM) is /PS3_UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
- The update data for Reference Tool (Tool/DECR) is %SCE_PS3_ROOT%\target\updater\ref-tool\PS3UPDAT.PUP.NNN.0xx
- The update data for Debugging Station (Debug/DEX) is %SCE_PS3_ROOT%\target\updater\debugging_station\PS3UPDAT.PUP.NNN.0xx.forDEX.release.yyyymmdd
- For updating with a single firmware PUP, both the Reference Tool (Tool/DECR) and Debugging Station (Debug/DEX) use the same folder structure as Retail/CEX : /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
- For updating with a multiple firmware PUP (2.50 or later), the Reference Tool (Tool/DECR) can use the folder structure : /PS3/UPDATE/SEARCH with a maximum of 2 sublevels deeper (e.g. PS3/UPDATE/SEARCH/ReferenceTool/250/PS3UPDAT.PUP.242.001). A maximum of 20 PUP files (including /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP if applicable) will be shown in the firmware list.
- The update location for Arcade is "/dev_hdd0/game/SCEEXE000/ARCDIR/PS3UPDAT.PUP"
- The update location in Factory Service Mode (used for downgrader and remarry) is /PS3UPDAT.PUP
- The update location for QA Debug setting : System Update Debug=ON is /dev_hdd0/updater/01/PS3UPDAT.PUP, /dev_hdd0/updater/02/PS3UPDAT.PUP, etc... (or up to 20 updates together with any name and no file extension required in /dev_hdd0/updater/01/)
Problem solving / tips
- Don’t use any USB Mass Storage Device with enhanced functions as: encryption, fingerprintreader, U3, pincode etc. (sometimes marketed under names as SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) thus needing drivers and only working under Windows)
- Don’t use USB Mass Storage Devices with a long initialisation time (e.g. some MP3 players)
- Don’t use multipartitioned USB Mass Storage Devices, only use 1 single primary FAT32 partition.
- Make sure they are formatted according to specifications with FAT32 (e.g. HP USB Format Tool – or TOKIWA / Ridgecrop FAT32 formatter)
- If the stick is formatted FAT32 and still not working, consider other stick or use this tool: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/restoring-your-usb-key-partition/
- Most USB Mass Storage Devices that’ll work effortless with PenDrive Linux, will also work with the PS3 (for downgrading, upgrading, storage of your Game dumps and any normal filestorage under the XMB). Those USB Mass Storage Devices are most likely also the ones giving you the least problems under more exotic platforms like PSX/PSone, PS2/PStwo, Xbox/X360, Gamecube/Wii/WiiU etc.
- Make sure no disc is inside the drive otherwise it will try to install that one instead of the one on USB Mass Storage Device!
- Make sure the media is not readonly (e.g. SDcard or USB Stick with readonly tab) if using firmwares when doing one of the following:
- Factory Service Mode reinstallation
- Remarry BDdrive
- RSOD Fix
- or any process that needs to write a log file, in short, write access

Structure
Verification
The PUP Header is signed using HMAC, HMAC-SHA1 for PS3 and HMAC-SHA256 for PSVita.
On PSVita, the PUP Header Digest is signed using RSA2048. The PUP Header RSA signature is RSA-signed along with a message into SCEWM file, which is encrypted using AES128CBC.
The PUP Header embeds HMAC signatures for each PUP segment.
All the PUP keys are known except RSA private keys.
Extraction
PS3
PSVita
The PSVita and PSVita TV update files can be extracted from .PUP using:
- "PS VITA Firmware xTractor"
- pupunpack from vitatools.
Decryption
Even though PUP is not encrypted, most files it embeds are.

uint8_t digest[0x14]; // HMAC-SHA1
} PUPHeaderDigest_v1;
PSVita
Differences with PS3 PUPs
The file structure of the PSVita PUP is almost identical to the PS3 PUP, although there is a slight difference in the header, the hash algorithm and the signature.
- PSVita PUP is little endian. PS3 PUP is big-endian.
- In PSVita PUP Format Version is 2. In PS3 PUP it is 1.
- There are 0x50 bytes of extra data in the PSVita PUP Header compared to PS3 PUP.
- PSVita PUP digests are longer than the ones in PS3 PUP: 0x20 bytes (SHA-256 length) in PSVita PUP versus 0x14 bytes (SHA-1 length) in PS3 PUP.
- PSVita PUP Header Digest is signed using RSA2048 in the SCEWM file. ?PS3 PUP have a RSA signature?
