0x001300408.0.0-18ReadDeviceRaw8(u8 devid) Writes the output read u8 I2C data to cmdreply[2]. After successfully selecting the I2C device, it writes 0xE1 to CNT then loads the output u8 I2C data from the DATA register.
0x001400828.0.0-18WriteDeviceRaw(u8 devid, u32 buffersize, (buffersize << 14) | 0x402, bufferptr) This is basically the write-data version of command 0x00150080.
0x001500808.0.0-18ReadDeviceRaw(u8 devid, u32 buffersize, +0x180: (buffersize << 14) | 2, +0x184: bufferptr) This is the >1-byte version of command 0x00130040, except value 0xF0 is used for CNT instead of 0xE1.

Commands 0x00130040..0x00150080 are only usable with the New3DS i2c module: on Old3DS the actual command-handler function for each of these commands just return an error. Commands 0x00140082 and 0x00150080 are used by NFC module. Command 0x00150080 is also used for reading ZL, ZR, and C-stick data by IR Services.
