Keys seem to be stored here? Access to this region is disabled once the ARM9 writes 0x2 to [[CONFIG|REG_SYSPROT9]].

Originally the console-unique TWL keyinit + region disable was done by Kernel9. However, with the [[New_3DS]] FIRM ARM9 binary this is now done in the [[FIRM]] ARM9 binary loader, which also uses the 0x10012000 region for key generation.

On development units ([[CONFIG|UNITINFO]]!=0) ARM9 uses the first 8-bytes from 0x10012000 for the TWL keydata. This region doesn't seem to be used by NATIVE_FIRM on retail at all, besides New3DS key-generation in the [[FIRM|ARM9-loader]]. It is unknown if bootrom reads from it, but probably.
