The first stage of the DSi's bootloader lives in ROM, presumably on the CPU die. It loads further encrypted+signed stages from [[NAND]] flash, starting with a plaintext offset table in the sector at offset 0x200.
  −
  −
Not much is known about this bootloader yet, but it presumably knows how to:
  −
# Initialize the encryption hardware
  −
# Read the contents of [[NVRAM]]
  −
# Initialize both LCDs
  −
# Read blocks (but not files) from the [[NAND]] flash
  −
# Perform some variety of integrity check on all data it reads (signature, CRC, ?)
  −
# Display basic hexadecimal error codes
  −
# Possibly factory-programming the [[NAND]] flash?
  −
# Might also do basic power-on self test of peripherals
