REG_I2CCNT

BIT	DESCRIPTION
0	R/W, clear for write, set for read
1	Start/device select bit?
2	Restart/device reselect bit?
3	?
4	SCL hold. When clear SCL is being held low, set when SCL is high. This bit must always be set(by reading CNT again) after writing REG_I2CCNT. This bit must be set when writing blocks of data(more than 1 byte) with bit0 clear.
5	SCL, toggle this for each loop iteration(in the loop execute the I2C WR code) with max 8 iterations where the loop exits successfully when bit 4 is set. This bit must be set when writing blocks of data(more than 1 byte) with bit0 clear.
6	Unknown, always set when writing to CNT?
7	Enable/busy, wait for this bit to clear after writing to I2CCNT.

REG_I2CDATA

When selecting a register, the register byte address is written here. When reading or writing data to the I2C device, it's read/written from here. When selecting a device, the device byte address is written here. Bit0 is unknown, when reading from certain devices, the device is first selected and then the register, following that the device is reselected with device byte address bit0 set.

Protocol

Wait for the busy bit to clear. Write the device address to REG_I2CDATA, then write 0xc2(busy/enable, bit 6, and start bit 1 set) to REG_I2CCNT. Execute swiWaitByLoop for a device-specific duration, then write the register address to REG_I2CDATA, and write 0xc0 to REG_I2CCNT.(busy/enable and bit 6 set) Wait with swiWaitByLoop device duration, then write the data to REG_I2CDATA when writing. When reading, write the device address to REG_I2CDATA and write 0xc2 to REG_I2CCNT. When the delay value is zero, write 0xc1 | i<<5 to REG_I2CCNT, otherwise write 0xc0 | i<<5 to REG_I2CCNT, wait for busy to clear, delay, then write 0xc5 to REG_I2CCNT. For writing i is the loop i for iteration, for reading replace that with 1. When reading, read the data from REG_I2CCNT. Return a error if REG_I2CCNT bit 4 SCL hold is set, otherwise return normal.

Power management

When registers 0x70 and 0x11 are set to 1 in that order, a power cycle is done.

REGISTER	WIDTH	DESCRIPTION
0x0	1	Might be battery level?
0x10	1	Power flags. When bit0 is set, arm7 does a system reset. When bit1 or bit3 are set, arm7 does a shutdown.
0x11	1	System reset register 2. Writing value 2 here might power off all DSi-only hw?
0x12	1	Might be MMC bus power related, unknown.
0x20	1	Battery critical flag, arm7 shuts down the system when this is zero.
0x31	1	Cameras' power? Value 0 turns off power to cameras? Values 1/2 activates a camera's power?
0x70	1	System reset register 1.
