Introduction

  • The following information was reverse engineered from lv0ldr, lv0, lv1, and sc_iso.self.
  • Big thanks to graf_chokolo for a large part of the basis of this page!

Overview of Syscon Communication

  • Syscon lives at the mmio space of 0x24000080000.
  • Communication occurs through mmio read/writes.

List of known offsets in Syscon:

Offset (from start of address space) Size Description
0xC000 0xFF0 Syscon packet send area
0xCFF0 0x4 Syscon sent packet counter
0xCFF4 0x4 Syscon received packet acknowledge counter
0xD000 0xFF0 Syscon packet receive area
0xDFF0 0x4 Syscon received packet counter
0xDFF4 0x4 Syscon sent packet acknowledge counter
0xE100 0x4 Tells syscon there is a packet to be received

Quick explanation of the packet counters:

  • There are two counters that are incremented by each side (Cell / Syscon).
  • 0xCFF0 and 0xDFF0 are incremented by the sending side (Syscon for 0xCFF0, Cell for 0xDFF0)
  • 0xCFF4 and 0xDFF4 are incremented by the receiving side (Cell for 0xCFF4, Syscon for 0xDFF4)
