There are 2 types of syscalls:
−
−
1. Syscalls using undefined ARM instruction.
−
−
2. Syscalls using ARM syscall instruction.
−
−
== Syscalls (via undefined instructions) ==
−
Similarly to the Wii's IOS, the IOSU uses a syscall table that is stored toward the end of the kernel area inside the main ARM binary (fw.img).
−
−
The second vector is the invalid instruction handler, which is used to implement syscalls:
−
fw:FFFF0000 LDR PC, =_reset
−
fw:FFFF0004 LDR PC, =starbuck_syscall_handler
−
−

Syscalls are invoked by way of the invalid instruction handler; syscalls take the form 0xE7F000F0 | (syscall_num << 8). (E.g. E7F000F0 is syscall 0, E7F036F0 is syscall 0x36, etc.).<br>
−
The IOSU currently has 0x94 available syscalls (the number of installed syscalls can vary between system versions).<br><br>
−
NOTE: Official syscall names begin with "IOS_", the rest are merely educated guesses.

== Syscalls (via ARM syscall instruction) ==
−
These types of syscalls are created with the ARM syscall instruction. The exception handler is empty and just do nothing and returns. These syscalls are [http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0471c/Bgbjhiea.html RealView semihosting operations] that allow communication with a debugger.<br>
−
Currently only syscall 0x04 is still used in production versions of IOSU.
−
−
<source lang="c">

MOVS r0, #syscall_number

</source>

Register r0 takes the syscall number.<br>

Register r1 takes the first parameter.
