This should help people reversing iBoot and friends. It is a work in progress.

DMA (PL080)

This appears to use an ARM PrimeCell PL080. You can read the technical reference manual here[dead link].

Base (dmac0): 0x38200000
Base (dmac1): 0x39900000

0x8 TC Interrupt Clear
0xC Error Interrupt Status
0x10 Error Interrupt Clear
0x14 TC Interrupt Status Before Masking (Raw)

VIC (PL192)

This appears to use an ARM PrimeCell PL192. You can read the technical reference manual here.

Base (vic0): 0x38E00000
Base (vic1): 0x38E01000

Register Description
0x0 IRQ Status
0x4 FIQ Status
0x8 Raw Interrupt Status
0xC Interrupt Select (0=IRQ, 1=FIQ)
0x10 Interrupt Enable (0=Disabled, 1=Enabled)
0x14 Interrupt Enable Clear (Write-Only; 0=No Effect, 1=Interrupt enabled with previous reg disabled)
0x18 Software Interrupt (0=Disabled, 1=Enabled)
0x1C Software Interrupt Clear (Write-Only; 0=No Effect, 1=Interrupt enabled with previous reg disabled)
0x20 Register Protection Mode. If bit 0 is set to 1, then Protection Mode is on and only privileged mode writes will work.
0x24 Software Interrupt Priority Mask (0=Masked, 1=Not Masked)
0x100 Vector Addresses
0x200 Vector Priority Levels
0xFE0 through 0xFEC Peripheral Identification Registers
  • Part Number: Bits 7 through 0 of register 0xFE0 is one portion of the part number (0x92), then bits 3 through 0 of register 0xFE4 is the other portion of it (0x1). If you do some annoying shifting, to put it together, you get 0x192 (0x92|0x11<<8&0xFFF==0x192). 0x192 indicates that it is an ARM PrimeCell PL192.
  • Designer: Bits 7 through 4 of register 0xFE4 is one portion of the designer tag (0x1), then bits 3 through 0 of register 0xFE8 is the other portion of it (0x4). Like above, we can do (0x11 | 0x4<<4) and we get 0x41, which is "A" in ASCII, meaning it was designed by ARM Limited.
  • Revision Number: Unlike the above two, this one is pretty easy. Bits 7 through 4 of register 0xFE8 is the revision number, which is "0" at least for the iPod touch 2G.
  • Configuration: The reference manual simply states that bits 7 through 2 should read back as 0, and nothing more about them. It also states that bits 1 through 0 indicate the number of interrupts supported, which appear to be 32 for the iPod touch 2G (0b00=32 Supported, 0b01=64 Supported, 0b10=128 Supported, 0b11=256 Supported).
0xFF0 through 0xFFC PrimeCell Identification Registers
  • Register 0xFF0: Should read as 0x0D
  • Register 0xFF4: Should read as 0xF0
  • Register 0xFF8: Should read as 0x05
  • Register 0xFFC: Should read as 0xB1

CHIPID

All information here was gathered by reversing iBoot and friends.

Base: 0x3D100000

Register Description
0x0 Unused & Unreferenced Register
0x4 Not yet documented
0x8 Chip Info
  • Chip ID: Bits 31 through 16 (0x8720, meaning it is an S5L8720)
  • Security Epoch: Bits 15 through 1 (0x01)

WDT (Watchdog Timer)

Base: 0x3C800000

Register Description
0x0 Control Register

NOTE: It seems that you can disable Watchdog Timer by rewriting this register to 0x00000000, and you can reboot the device by rewriting it to 0x100000

0x4 Watchdog Timeout Duration
0xC Interrupt Clear

Timers

ARM7 (Second CPU)

All information here was gathered by looking at the code for the ARM7 Go command, as well as noting that although 2.1.1 iBoots reference this as 0xB8600000, 0x80000000 through 0xFFFFFFFF is mapped to 0x0 through 0x7FFFFFFF when the MMU does it's stuff.

Base: 0x38600000

Register Description
0x100 Running Status

To halt the ARM7: Clear all bits then set bit to 2. To make it resume: Set bit 1

0x110 Code Address

To run code, halt the ARM7, write the load address of the code to this register, write 0x3FF0000 to register 0x114, then resume the ARM7

0x114 "Code Waiting"

I don't know exactly what this register does, but I named it like this because 0x3FF0000 is written to this register when there is a load address of code to be jumped to in register 0x110
