3DS NDMA has 8 channels. The first 0x100-bytes of this IO mem is mirrored at 0x10002100, repeated every 0x100-bytes until the end of the 0x1000-byte IO mem. NDMA can access the (unprotected) part of the bootrom.

NDMA_GLOBAL_CNT

Bit Description
0 Global enable?
19-16 Cycle selection.
31 DMA arbitration method. 0=Fixed method, 1=Round robin

NDMA_SRC_ADDR

Bit Description
31-0 Source data address. Must be multiple of 4.

Like old DMA, NDMA_SRC_ADDR is copied to internal registers when written to.

NDMA_DST_ADDR

BIT DESCRIPTION
31-0 Destination data address. Must be multiple of 4.

Like old DMA, NDMA_DST_ADDR is copied to internal registers when written to.

NDMA_TRANSFER_CNT

Bit Description
27-0 Total number of words transferred.

NDMA_WRITE_CNT

Bit Description
23-0 Number of words to transfer.

NDMA_BLOCK_CNT

Bit Description
15-0 Interval timer.
17-16 Prescaler. 0=System freq, 1=1/4th freq, 2=1/16th freq, 3=1/64th freq.

NDMA_FILL_DATA

Bit Description
31-0 Fill data.

NDMA_CNT

Bit Description
11-10 Destination address update method. 0=Increment, 1=Decrement, 2=Fixed.
12 Destination address reload flag.
14-13 Source address update method. 0=Increment, 1=Decrement, 2=Fixed, 3=No address (for filling)
15 Source address reload flag.
19-16 Block transfer word count = (1<<x) words.
27-24 Startup mode.

Block transfers

First, a word is always 32 bits. Second, the block transfer specified in NDMA_CNT is the smallest atom of data that will be transferred in a burst. The bus is monopolized until this block is transferred, without splitting up.

The next block transfer will happen after the specified time in the NDMA_BLOCK_CNT interval timer, until done.

Immediate mode

Transfers the words specified in NDMA_WRITE_CNT immediately following block transfer rules. NDMA_TRANSFER_CNT and repeating mode are ignored.

Repeating mode

Transfers the words specified in NDMA_WRITE_CNT following the startup mode event. NDMA_TRANSFER_CNT is ignored.

No immediate and no repeating mode

Transfers the words specified in NDMA_WRITE_CNT for each startup event, and gets disabled when the total number of words in NDMA_TRANSFER_CNT are transferred.
