The check digit is an industry-standard algorithm, the one used for UPC codes.  To calculate the check digit of a 3DS console, separate the non-check digits into "odd" and "even" groups, where the "odd" group is digits in odd-numbered positions, and the "even" group is digits in even-numbered positions.  (The first digit is "odd", with "first" representing "1".)

   −
After separating the digits, add the digits in each group together.  Multiply the sum of the even digits by 3, then add the sum of the odd digits. Subtract this value from 100.  Take this final value modulo 10, and the result is the check digit.

After separating the digits, add the digits in each group together.  Multiply the sum of the even digits by 3, then add the sum of the odd digits. To calculate the check digit, take this value modulo 10, and if not 0, subtract from 10.

Evens: 0 + 5 + 7 + 7 = 19
 
Evens: 0 + 5 + 7 + 7 = 19
   −
Applying the algorithm, we get (100 - ((3 * 19) + 21)) % 10 = 2, matching the example's check digit.
+
Applying the algorithm, we get ((3 * 19) + 21) % 10 = 8, which is not 0, thus 10 - 8 = 2, matching the example's check digit.
    
The letter prefixes are a letter specifying the device, followed by one letter specifying the region in which it was sold.  In some regions, a third letter is present; a current guess is that this letter distinguishes among factories for a given sales region.  Note that several different sales regions' console may be considered to be the same region for region-locking purposes, such as Europe and Australia.

The current serial number scheme began with the DSi, hence its listing in the tables below.  Among standalone consoles, the Wii U belongs to this scheme as well; the Switch started a new scheme.

Development units with the same prefix as retail can be distinguished by development units having a 0 as the first digit of the serial number portion.
+
Test ("Panda") units with the same prefix as retail can be distinguished by test units having 00 or 01 as the first two digits of the serial number portion.  00 was used with the New 3DS and New 3DS XL for test units; 01 was used with the New 2DS XL test unit.  Preview versions of the N2DS XL given out to the press had 01; these appear to have been test units with the development titles deleted.
 +
 
 +
Old 3DS development systems (Partner-CTR, IS-CTR-BOX, IS-SPR-BOX) use the "E" and "R" prefixes like test systems, but have 90 (Partner-CTR) or 91 (IS-CTR-BOX, IS-SPR-BOX) as their first two digits.  Similarly, the main New 3DS development unit, IS-SNAKE-BOX, uses the Y prefix (same as retail) with 91.  It is currently unknown what is the serial number format of the rare New 3DS XL development system (IS-CLOSER-BOX).

The longer version of the serial number adds a geographical region (usually because of extra languages).

  −
Those are 3 letters codes at the end of the serial (can be found mostly on demos).

For example, the code of the Canadian version of Mario Kart 7 is CAN (link removed, links to incorrect image).
