NSPI_CNT

BIT DESCRIPTION
2-0 Baud Rate
6-7 Unused device select.
12 Bus Mode
13 Transfer Mode (0 = read, 1 = write)
15 Trigger (0 = idle, 1 = busy)

This register seems to have a bug where the lower 8 bits are shifted up by 16 when reading this register.

NSPI_DONE

Contains 1 when the SPI slave is selected. A 0 is written here on transfer end to deselect the slave.

NSPI_BLKLEN

BIT DESCRIPTION
31-0 Transfer size

NSPI_FIFO

BIT DESCRIPTION
31-0 Data

NSPI_STATUS

BIT DESCRIPTION
0 FIFO Full (0 = not full, 1 = full)

NSPI_AUTOPOLL

BIT DESCRIPTION
0-7 Command
16-19 Timeout (Tries = 31<<Baudrate (from NSPI_CNT) + Timeout)
24-26 Bit offset (0-7)
30 Poll for a set or unset bit
31 1 = Enable/Busy

This automatically sends a command to the device and compares the specified bit in the response with bit 30 until it matches or a timeout occurs. Nintendo uses a timeout of 10 which roughly equals 1 second. This is used in Process9 to poll the gamecard SPI flash status register for write operation finished or write enable.

NSPI_INT_MASK

BIT DESCRIPTION
0 Transfer finished? (1 = disabled)
1 Autopoll success (1 = disabled)
2 Autopoll timeout (1 = disabled)

NSPI_INT_STAT

BIT DESCRIPTION
0 Transfer finished?
1 Autopoll success
2 Autopoll timeout

Interrupt ID 23 is fired when any of the bits change to 1 except for interrupts masked in NSPI_INT_MASK. Writing 1 to a bit in this register aknowledges the interrupt.
