• 90090000 (R): Current time, increments by 1 every second.
• 90090004 (R/W): Alarm value. When the time passes this, interrupt becomes active.

• 900B000C (R/W): Clock speed control. Write 4 to set the clock speed according to the value in 900B0000. If interrupts are disabled the new clock speed will only become effective after exiting the program. Write 3A to enter low-power mode; this requires various peripherals to be prepared and probably works by stopping the clock.
• 900B0010 (R/W): ON interrupt mask (1-bit). 1 if ON interrupt should be serviced or 0 if not.
• 900B0014 (R/W): Bit 0 is set if ON interrupt is requested. Bit 1 also causes an interrupt, but the cause is unknown (and it is not masked by [900B0010]) - it is set after writing 4 to 900B000C. Write "1" bits to reset the requests.

• 900E0030-900E003F (R/W): Keypad GPIOs. Each register is 20 bits, with one bit per GPIO. The role of each register is unknown.

900F0000 - HDQ/1-Wire and LCD contrast

90110000 - LED

0x20000 bytes SRAM, managed by the controller at 0xB8000000.

B0000000 - USB OTG controller

The OTG controller on all models is a ChipIdea-based dual-role USB controller. It only supports full speed communications so the PFSC bit (bit 24) must be set in the PORTSC register when in host mode. Otherwise, it'll attempt to connect at high speed for devices that support it and will never succeed in enumerating them.

Documentation can be found in the IMX233 reference manual. The host interface is, again, based on EHCI; but the register defaults are different. The addresses have been adjusted from the ones contained in the IMX233 reference manual.
