Overview
This is the file format for the 3DS' Firmware, it contains four 'sections' of ARM code (ARM9 and ARM11). The firmware sections are not encrypted in the FIRM format.
A structural example of a FIRM file (created using the specs in ctrtool) can be found here (Note does not contain ARM code, it's just a structural example)
