Non Volatile Storage

From PS4 Developer wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Same as PS3's NVS, used for storing tokens and flags. You can access it by using the function icc_nvs_read (or by ftp'ing the respective regions with root flags server).
Seems that a total of 7 regions(blocks) exist in 2 banks, main bank and backup bank
The kernel accesses only the 5th and the 2nd region, however it's possible to read the other 5 (also the entirety of it by reading /dev/sflash0s0x34 with BUF_SIZE 0x200 from ftp ).
Most, if not all, of the NVS regions can be accessed also in sflash, starting with offset 0x1C4000.
