DSP Memory Region

Some of this is known to be incorrect. I'll correct this in a few months after a bit more RE work. Merry (talk) 21:10, 28 January 2016 (CET)



The DSP communicates with userland through memory locations 0x1ff40000-0x1ff77fff. Within this region are two areas of structures that are exact duplicates of each other. The DSP alternates between the use of these two areas (much like a double-buffer). Each area has 15 structures within it. The location of these structures can be obtained by reading pipe 2.

The mixer has 24 channels, each of which are individually configurable.
