I2C Service NamesEdit

Service names Notes Accessible deviceIDs Service used by sysmodule
"i2c::MCU" 0, 3 MCU
"i2c::CAM" 1, 2, 4 Camera
"i2c::LCD" 5, 6 GSP
"i2c::DEB" 7, 8 Unknown
"i2c::HID" 9, 10, 11, 12 HID
"i2c::IR" 13, and additionally for New3DS i2c module: 17 IR
"i2c::EEP" 14 Cfg
"i2c::NFC" Only available via the New3DS i2c sysmodule. 15 New3DS NFC

0x000B00C2 WriteRegisterBuffer8 (u8 devid, u8 regid, buffersize, (buffersize << 14) | 0x402, u8* bufferptr)
0x000C00C2 WriteRegisterBuffer16 (u8 devid, u16 regid, buffersize, (buffersize << 15) | 0x402, u16* bufferptr)
0x000D00C0 ReadRegisterBuffer8 (u8 devid, u8 regid, buffersize, +0x180: (buffersize << 14) | 2, +0x184: u8 bufferptr)
0x000E00C2 WriteRegisterBuffer (u8 devid, u8 regid, unused (bufsize?), (bufsize << 14) | 0x402, void* buffer)
0x000F00C0 ReadRegisterBuffer (u8 devid, u8 regid, min(bufsize, 0x20)), +0x180: (bufsize << 14) | 2, void* buffer
0x001000C0 ReadEEPROM (u8 devid = 14, u16 blockid, min(bufsize >> 1, 0x10)), +0x180: (bufsize << 15) | 2, u16* buffer

0x00130040 8.0.0-18 ReadDeviceRaw8(u8 devid) Writes the output read u8 I2C data to cmdreply[2]. After successfully selecting the I2C device, it writes 0xE1 to CNT then loads the output u8 I2C data from the DATA register.
0x00140082 8.0.0-18 WriteDeviceRaw(u8 devid, u32 buffersize, (buffersize << 14) | 0x402, bufferptr) This is basically the write-data version of command 0x00150080.
0x00150080 8.0.0-18 ReadDeviceRaw(u8 devid, u32 buffersize, +0x180: (buffersize << 14) | 2, +0x184: bufferptr) This is the >1-byte version of command 0x00130040, except value 0xF0 is used for CNT instead of 0xE1.

Commands 0x00130040..0x00150080 are only usable with the New3DS i2c module: on Old3DS the actual command-handler function for each of these commands just return an error. Commands 0x00140082 and 0x00150080 are used by NFC module. Command 0x00150080 is also used for reading ZL, ZR, and C-stick data by IR Services.
