DS development > Where is the ARM7TDMI co-processor located?

#109799 - TheProgrammer - Tue Nov 21, 2006 9:02 am

Hi all,

I have disassembled the Nintendo DS to have a closer look at the hardware. Under the DS cart slot, there is a large square chip that says "CPU NTR" and "ARM", I assume that is the main ARM9 processor.

So there is the other ARM7 co-processor located? I have seen a tiny little chip in the lower right corner, but doesn't say ARM, but "MITSUMI".


Thanks


EDIT: Nevermind, I found the answer. They are on the same chip.
