Line 673: − − Support for type6/7 was [[NCCH/Extended Header|implemented]] in [[NS]] with [[8.0.0-18]], these are only supported in the [[New_3DS]] ARM11-kernel not the regular 3DS kernel. These two types are the only ones supported by the New3DS kernel.
→FCRAM memory-regions layout
== FCRAM memory-regions layout ==
== FCRAM memory-regions layout ==
FCRAM is partitioned into three regions of memory (APPLICATION, SYSTEM, and BASE). Most applications can only allocate memory from one of these regions (which is encoded in the [[NCCH/Extended_Header#ARM11_Kernel_Flags|process kernel flags]]). There is a fixed set of possible size of each memory region, determined by the APPMEMTYPE value in [[Configuration_Memory#APPMEMTYPE|configuration memory]] (which in turn is set up according to the [[FIRM#FIRM_Launch_Parameters|firmware launch parameters]]).
Support for APPMEMTYPEs 6 and 7 was implemented in [[NS]] with [[8.0.0-18]]. These configurations are only supported in the [[New_3DS]] ARM11-kernel, and are in fact the only ones supported there at all. Applications only get access to the larger memory regions when this is specified in their [[NCCH/Extended Header#New3DS System Mode|extended header]].

The SYSTEM mem-region size is calculated with: size = FCRAMTOTALSIZE - (APPLICATION_MEMREGIONSIZE + BASE_MEMREGIONSIZE).
The SYSTEM mem-region size is calculated with: size = FCRAMTOTALSIZE - (APPLICATION_MEMREGIONSIZE + BASE_MEMREGIONSIZE).
All memory allocated by the kernel itself for kernel use is located under BASE. Most system-modules run under the BASE memregion too.
