Only one session can be open per service at a time. If a session is already open for a service, MCU module will wait for the thread handling the session to terminate(triggered by the session being closed by the user process), then it accepts the new session. The commands for each service are handled by separate threads.

New3DS

The Old3DS/New3DS MCU sysmodules are identical except that the MCU firmware binary written via I2C is different. The size of that binary is the same. The only different words in .text are for the version of that MCU fw binary.

MCU firmware versions

These reside in mcu-module .rodata, are uploaded to MCU register 0x05 and are usually 0x4003 bytes in size (the actual firmware is 0x4000 bytes preceeded by a 3 byte RL78 assembly opcode "jhl" (or 0xffe68, #108) to switch the I2C comms into flash write mode).

Before the upload could commence, WiFi interrupts are turned off via GPIO command 0x00020080(0, 0x40000), then after the upload completed, the sysmodule waits exactly one second for the MCU to reboot, then turns WiFi interrupts back on via gpio:MCU command 0x00020080(0x40000, 0x40000).

There exists an alternate code path where uploading is done using register 0x3B (if register 0x0F is zero meaning all peripherals are turned off, and 0x10 must be 1 (power button pressed/held)). This may be a "hack" around early versions of MCU? Register 0x3B is part of the RTC alarm registers on recent versions of MCU.

On dev-units, the user-facing representation of this firmware version is displayed by first subtracting 0x10 from the major field (raw register 0x00). It is these user-facing versions that are displayed in the table below. It is unknown what bit4 (0x10) actually represents, but it is seemingly always set.
