In order to use main audio (Blargg's trick notwithstanding), the 5A22 must first upload a sound driver to the SPC700 over the following four ports:
| Official Port Name | Port Name (SPC side) | Port Address (SPC side) | Port Name (5A22 side) | Port Address (5A22 side) | Data |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PORT0 | CPUIO0 | 00F4h | APUIO0 | 2140h | The SPC IPL writes BBAAh here when ready, kick and kickback (as described by fullsnes) also go through here |
| PORT1 | CPUIO1 | 00F5h | APUIO1 | 2141h | The SPC IPL writes BBAAh here when ready, the 5A22 writes which command ("transfer" or "entry" as described by fullsnes) it wants the IPL to run here, and the driver data is uploaded through here too |
| PORT2 | CPUIO2 | 00F6h | APUIO2 | 2142h | The 5A22 writes the upload destination ARAM address here, and the entrypoint into the SPC program once all blocks have been uploaded |
| PORT3 | CPUIO3 | 00F7h | APUIO3 | 2143h | The other byte of the upload destination ARAM address goes here. This port appears to not be used for anything else during driver upload. |
The official Super Nintendo development manual describes the driver upload process in Appendix D of Book I. Fullsnes has pseudocode for the upload procedure in https://problemkaputt.de/fullsnes.htm#snesapumaincpucommunicationport, and anomie's SPC700 Doc also lists a very similar 11 step procedure.
