General
The Wii U added a new chip to assist with power management alongside the RTC, labeled "SMC". The SMC is responsible for managing disc drive power/eject, power LED patterns, wireless resets, regulator enable/PGOOD monitoring, and possibly other unknown functionality.
Communication
SMC resides as device ID 0x50 on I2C bus 3. It communicates at 5kHz in IOS and 10KHz in Cafe2Wii?
Registers
SMC has two types of registers: Read/write and command-based. Read/write registers operate by having the register number written (1 byte), followed by either another written byte, or a 1 byte read. Command-based registers perform their action just by writing the register number (1 byte). When attempting to read a command-based register, it will read as 0xFF.
