"SysCfg" is the system configuration sector of an iPod. It carries unique per-device information such as the serial number, as well as determining which region a device was sold in, the model number, etc. On the iPod nano 3rd generation and the iPod Classic, it is stored in the first section of the NOR.
WARNING: Messing with SysCfg can result in a device that can not be restored in iTunes, and may not boot! You MUST keep backups!

Structure
The header of the SysCfg always begins with a 'SCfg' tag in a 24 byte header. Some of the header values are unknown.
struct SysCfgHeader {
uint32_t magic; // always 'SCfg'
uint32_t size;
uint32_t unknown1; // 0x00000200 on iPod classic
uint32_t version; // maybe? 0x00010001 on iPod classic
uint32_t unknown2; // 0x00000000 on iPod classic
uint32_t num_entries;
}; // 0x18
Each entry in the SysCfg consists of a 32-bit tag value (in little-endian) and up to 16 (0x10) bytes of data. The way the data is encoded is dependent on the tag value.
struct SysCfgEntry {
uint32_t tag;
uint8_t data[0x10];
};
