File format[edit]

The file consists out of a 0x200 big header (though the actual header is only 0x30 bytes, the rest is zerofilled), plus data whose size is indicated in the header.

Header[edit]

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Magic "CCAL"
0x4 0x4 Version
0x8 0x4 Data size, always 0x7D0
0xC 0x1 Model version (?)
0xD 0x1 CAL revision (incremented each time the CAL file is updated)
0xE 0x2 Bitmask of successful Aging tests
0x10 0x20 Signature of the data section.

HMACSHA256 is used always except in the below cases where SHA256 is used: 

 - devunits
 - PARTNER-DEBUGGER
 - PARTNER-CAPTURE
 - the SNAKE counterparts of the above
 - SNAKE-IS-DEBUGGER
0x30 0x1D0 Zerofilled, padding for the 512byte block size

Data block formats[edit]

Touch[edit]

Used for mapping touch ADC values to display pixel co-ordinates.

[4096, 4096] --> [320, 240]

[RawX, RawY] --> [PointX, PointY]

Usually [PointX0, PointY0] is placed around 25% from the top-left corner, and the same for [PointX1, PointY1] except 25% from the bottom-right corner. This offsetting is needed because the touch film starts to distort outside of that rectangle, which would skew the touch results near the center of the screen.

Contains the centering position of the circle pad. For other circle pad settings, see circle pad extra.

These values are written to MCU register 0x03 and 0x04 respectively. They both set the display contrast voltage.

MCU[edit]

Somewhat misleading, these values are actually used for clamping the MCU's raw slider readings to comprehensible values.


Offset Declaration Description
0x00 s16 SVR2_Min Raw 3D volume slider values <= this map to 3D slider value 0.0
0x02 s16 SVR2_Max Raw 3D volume slider values >= this map to 3D slider value 1.0
0x04 s16 VolumeSliderMin Written to MCU reg 0x58. Volume slider values <= this map to volume value 0x00
0x06 s16 VolumeSliderMax Written to MCU reg 0x59. Volume slider values >= this map to volume value 0x3F

ULCD delay[edit]

There is a delay between switching the parallax barrier, and adjusting the backlight. These delay values determine how many VBlank events to wait on before switching the backlight curves to the appropriate mode.

This is needed only to prevent epillepsy from analog jitter causing unwanted mode switches, and both values are usually always set to 1 or 2.

Reading[edit]

If 0x1FF81006 is 3 or 4 or 7 or 8 or 9 then the callibration data is read from the EEPROM using the i2c:EEP service command 0x001000C0, using offset 0x000 for HWCAL0, and offset 0x800 for HWCAL1. Otherwise attempt is made to read CTRNAND:/ro/sys/HWCAL(0|1).dat instead.
