From the forum post:

The recovery tool has (unsurprisingly) a header that is similar to that added by the spl_tool. However, it is not exact. For example the version field is 0x01010001 instead of 0x01010101. Is there any significance to that? There is also some further data at offset 0x2d4, that is not specified in the spl_tool source. Does anybody have a more complete header description at hand?

The recovery tool has a menu option to blow OTP fuses. Is there any documentation about these fuses?

The spl_tool source file says that the header is discussed on the page “Creating SPL File 1”. However, on this page there is no discussion of the header and its contents

The manual says that something called OTPC is here (table 2-4 System Memory Map):

Start Address	End Address	Size	Attribute	Device/Description
`0x00_1705_0000`	`0x00_1705_FFFF`	64KB	RW A	OTPC

I was able to get a bunch of data into the create_hdr tool. It outputs a "common header" and the "sbl header".
A configuration file is needed to hold all the data.

A full header is 0x400 in site; I am not sure why the common and sbl header are split as 0x240 + ~~0x160~~ 0x180 bytes,
What is in the sbl header starts at 0x280 in a real image. ~~Those 0x40 in between might be taken from the end of the sbl header, or those last 0x40 bytes there are meaningless... that's an open thing to figure out.~~
EDIT: Those 0x40 in between come from something called sig(nature?) padding, and so 0x240 + 0x040 + 0x180 add up to 0x400.

Here is my config; not everything shows up though, maybe the tool wasn't that complete?

sbl

The first field here is the EC key to use; it can be 0 (none) or some value of 1, 2, 3, 4; otherwise, the mask ROM loader would reject, from what I can tell. This would be at 0x280 in a full image.

addendum to the sbl part:

the next fields after the checksum are

AES IV, 32 bytes
EC key revoke (semantics?), 16 bytes
SBL ver(sion?) cipher (what is this?), 32 bytes

On the EC keys

creating a key is also described in the config file I provided above; taken from

https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/Guides/Generating_keys_using_OpenSSL.html

openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out key.pem

Anyway, that gets us a PEM format file like this:

let's quick-hack that to a hex representation

https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=From_Base64('A-Za-z0-9%2B/%3D',true,false)To_Hex('Space',0)

I've marked the relevant parts

96  7c  77  21  5b  40  fa  77  76]

looking at the resulting header file, it appears that the last two parts are just reversed, respectively, which becomes

now I have no clue what exactly the pieces are; just look at then OpenSSL manual or whatever or recap your crypto intro 101 on elliptic curves to get an idea :-)

okay so OpenSSL 101... the pub key has a fixed 04 at the beginning
generate multiple keys to check:

openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -text | tail -n 5 | openssl ec -text

Note that the format is not too excellent for human processing; it is 15 bytes
per line. Now, here is our key, just as we got it with CyberChef:

openssl ec -in test/ec_key.pem -text

On the OTPC block again

OTPC = One-Time Programmable Configuration

0x1705_0000 64k

I read this as blocks of 64x 32 bytes each, which has repeating entries for me on a Milk-V Mars.

This here is repeated 64 times, the first block

0b040200 03000000  00000000 00000000  00000000 21000000  00000000 ffffffff

Note: 0x21000000 is the QSPI XIP memory; this might be coincidental, here it'd be BE

then comes 64 times all ffffffff...

and then a block of this 64 times

0b040200 03000000  00000000 00000000  00000000 ff010000  00000000 ffffffff

then all ffffffff... again, and then the above block again, all-ffffffff again, and those repeat to the end.

Note:
From the mask ROM, I can tell that there is a fixed function just writing the value 0x0002040b to the OTPC base address which you see repeated in the beginning as pointed out above. That function is called as part of the OTP init, right in the beginning after GPIO, UART and CLINT init, before evaluating the boot source.

boot modes

If XIP flash is disabled in OTP configuration, system cannot boot from XIP flash.

The On-Chip boot ROM is 32 KB.

The boot mode and boot options could be loaded from the SYSCON status registers.

from the manual, Table 2-2 System Boot Process

Processor	Boot Mode (`PAD_RGPIO2`)	Boot Vector	Boot Selection (`PAD_RGPIO`[1:0])
U74MC	`0x1`	`0x2100_0000`	XIP Flash
	`0x0`	`0x2A00_0000`	`0x0`: Boot from 1-bit QSPI instead of flash
			`0x1`: Boot from SDIO3.0
			`0x2`: Boot from EMMC5.1
			`0x3`: Boot from UART
Audio DSP		Defined by U74MC or E24
E24		Defined by U74MC

my OTP config in AON_SYSCON (24 onwards):

   00000000000000000000000000000111
   11111111111111111111111111111111
   11111111111111111111111111111111
   11111111111111111111111111111111
   00000000000000000000000010110010

first line: u0_otpc_chip_mode, u0_otpc_crc_pass and u0_otpc_dbg_enable are all set
second: u0_otpc_fl_func_lock (all 0 by default)
third: u0_otpc_fl_pll0_lock (all 0 by default)
fourth: u0_otpc_fl_pll1_lock (all 0 by default)
last:

bit	name	mode	default
[1]	u0_otpc_fl_xip	RO	0x0
[2]	u0_otpc_load_busy	RO	0x0
[3]	u0_reset_ctrl_clr_reset_status	WR	0x0
[4]	u0_reset_ctrl_pll_timecnt_finish	RO	0x0
[5]	u0_reset_ctrl_rstn_sw	WR	0x1
[9:6]	u0_reset_ctrl_sys_reset_status	RO	0x0

@MichaelZhuxx any comment on this so far? This is very tedious... would be great to have some support here. 😬 Thank you!
