This should help people reversing iBoot and friends. It is a work in progress.
DMA (PL080)

Peripheral Identification Registers
Part Number
Bits 7 through 0 of register 0xFE0 is one portion of the part number (0x92), then bits 3 through 0 of register 0xFE4 is the other portion of it (0x1). If you do some annoying shifting, to put it together, you get 0x192 (0x92|0x11<<8&0xFFF==0x192). 0x192 indicates that it is an ARM PrimeCell PL192.
Designer
Bits 7 through 4 of register 0xFE4 is one portion of the designer tag (0x1), then bits 3 through 0 of register 0xFE8 is the other portion of it (0x4). Like above, we can do (0x11 | 0x4<<4) and we get 0x41, which is "A" in ASCII, meaning it was designed by ARM Limited.
Revision Number
Unlike the above two, this one is pretty easy. Bits 7 through 4 of register 0xFE8 is the revision number, which is "0" at least for the iPod touch 2G.
Configuration
The reference manual simply states that bits 7 through 2 should read back as 0, and nothing more about them. It also states that bits 1 through 0 indicate the number of interrupts supported, which appear to be 32 for the iPod touch 2G (0b00=32 Supported, 0b01=64 Supported, 0b10=128 Supported, 0b11=256 Supported).

WDT (Watchdog Timer)
Base: 0x3C800000 |
Register |
Description |
0x0 |
Control Register
NOTE: It seems that you can disable Watchdog Timer by rewriting this register to 0x00000000, and you can reboot the device by rewriting it to 0x100000 |

ARM7 (Second CPU)
All information here was gathered by looking at the code for the ARM7 Go command, as well as noticing the 0x38000000==0xb8000000 alias that the S5L8720 seems to have.
Base: 0x38600000 |
Register |
Description |
0x100 |
Running Status
To halt the ARM7: Write 0x0 then 0x10 to this register
To make it resume: Write 0x1 to this register |
0x110 |
Code Address
To run code, halt the ARM7, write the load address of the code to this register, write 0x3FF0000 to register 0x114, then resume the ARM7 |
0x114 |
"Code Waiting"
I don't know exactly what this register does, but I named it like this because 0x3FF0000 is written to this register when there is a load address of code to be jumped to in register 0x110 |
UART
