SPI_CNT

This is the old NDS/DSi SPI interface.

Bits	Name
0-1	Baudrate (0=4MHz, 1=2MHz, 2=1MHz, 3=512KHz)
2-6	Not used (Zero)
7	Busy Flag (0=Ready, 1=Busy) (presumably Read-only)
8-9	Device Select (0=Powerman., 1=Firmware, 2=Touchscreen)
10	Transfer Size (0=8bit/Normal, 1=16bit/Bugged)
11	Chipselect Hold (0=Deselect after transfer, 1=Keep selected)
12-13	Not used (Zero)
14	Interrupt Request (0=Disable, 1=Enable)
15	SPI Bus Enable (0=Disable, 1=Enable)

SPI_NEW_CNT

This is an alternative faster interface introduced with the 3DS.

Bits	Name
0-5	Baudrate?
6-7	Device Select
13	Transfer Direction? (0=Incoming, 1=Outgoing)
15	Busy/enable

Device id	Device select bits
0, 3, >=6	0
1, 4	1
2, 5	2

Device id	Used baudrate
3	5
0	2

SPI_NEW_DONE

When the transfer is finished, a 0 has to be written to this register.

SPI_NEW_BLKLEN

The number of bytes to be sent/read is written to this register.

SPI_NEW_FIFO

32-bit FIFO for reading/writing the SPI payload.

SPI_NEW_STATUS

Bit0: FIFO busy.
