Syscon packets

Timezone/Thermal Service (0x11)

Get temperature

Purpose: Used to get current temperature.

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_temperature_request_t {
	uint8_t cmd; // 0x20
	uint8_t param; // 0xFF
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_temperature_response_t {
	uint8_t unk1; // status?
	uint8_t unk2; // status?
	uint8_t data[32];
};

• To calculate temperature in celsius use: (data[0] * 0x64) >> 8.

Configuration Service (0x12)

Get IDlog information

Purpose: Can be used to get CID/eCID information.

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_idlog_info_request_t {
	uint8_t cmd; // 0x03
	uint8_t param; // 0x01
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_idlog_info_response_t {
	uint8_t cmd;
	uint8_t padding[3];
	uint8_t ecid[16];
	uint8_t cid[6];
};

Get reference clock

Purpose: Used to calculate an initial value of timebase register.

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_reference_clock_request_t {
	uint8_t cmd; // 0x03
	uint8_t param; // 0x10
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_reference_clock_response_t {
	uint8_t cmd;
	uint8_t padding[3];
	uint32_t ref_clock_value;
	uint32_t unk;
};

Get core clock multiplier

Purpose: Used together with reference clock to calculate clock frequency.

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_core_clock_multiplier_request_t {
	uint8_t cmd; // 0x03
	uint8_t param; // 0x00
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_core_clock_multiplier_response_t {
	uint8_t cmd;
	uint8_t padding[3];
	uint8_t id; // 00:2, 01:4, 03: 8, 04:10, 05:12, 06:16, 07:20
};

• Clock frequency = core clock multiplier table[id] * reference clock.
• For example, if you have id=3 and reference clock=400000000, then your clock frequency will be: 400000000*8=3200000000 (3.2 Ghz)

Get platform ID

Purpose: Used to get platform ID (Cytology, Cookie, etc).

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_platform_id_request_t {
	uint8_t cmd; // 0x20
	uint8_t param; // 0x10
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_platform_id_response_t {
	uint8_t cmd;
	uint8_t padding[3];
	uint8_t platform_id[8]; // ASCII-string
};

Get hardware configuration

Purpose: Used to get hardware configuration (PS2 emulation compatibility, card support, WLAN interface, etc).

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_hw_config_request_t {
	uint8_t cmd; // 0x22
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_hw_config_response_t {
	uint8_t cmd;
	uint8_t padding[3];
	uint8_t data[12];
};

Get BE counters

Purpose: Used to get several BE counters.

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_be_counters_request_t {
	uint8_t cmd; // 0x41
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_be_counters_response_t {
	uint8_t cmd;
	uint32_t total_operation_time;
	uint32_t power_on_counter;
	uint32_t power_off_counter;
};

Power Service (0x13)

Query system power up cause

Purpose: Get information about system power up cause.

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) query_system_power_up_cause_request_t {
	uint8_t cmd; // 0x10
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) query_system_power_up_cause_response_t {
	uint8_t cmd;
	uint8_t padding1[3];
	uint32_t wake_source;
	uint8_t requested_os_context;
	uint8_t current_os_context;
	uint8_t requested_gr_context;
	uint8_t current_gr_context;
	uint8_t last_shutdown_cause;
	uint8_t padding2[3];
};

Get realtime clock

Purpose: Get current value of realtime clock.

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_rtc_request_t {
	uint8_t cmd; // 0x33
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_rtc_response_t {
	uint8_t cmd;
	uint8_t padding[3];
	uint32_t rtc;
};

Livelock Service (0x18)

Get syscon version

Purpose: Get information about syscon version.

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_sc_version_request_t {
	uint8_t cmd; // 0x12/0x14
};

struct __attribute__ ((packed)) get_sc_version_response_t {
	uint8_t cmd;
	uint8_t padding[3];
	uint16_t version;
};
