Note 1: The reset state of the GPIOs is not ensured during power-up phase. During this phase, the GPIOs are in Input Pull-Up mode and they take their reset value only after VDDCORE POR reset has been released. If a GPIO must be at level zero at power-up, it is recommended to connect an external pull-down to ensure this state.

4.2 Power Sequence Requirements

4.2.1 Power-up Considerations

From a power-up supply sequencing perspective, SAMA5D3x power supply inputs are categorized into two groups:

  • Group 1, the core group, containing VDDCORE, VDDUTMIC and VDDPLLA
  • Group 2, the periphery group, containing all other power supply inputs.

Figure 4-1 shows timing values t_1 and t_2 , with the following clarifications:

  • VDDBU, when supplied from a battery is an always-on supply input and is therefore not part of the power supply sequencing. When no backup battery is present in the application, VDDBU is part of Group 2.
  • VDDFUSE is the only power supply that may be left un-powered during operation. This is possible if and only if the application does not access the fuse box in write mode. VDDFUSE must be applied when programming the fuse box.
  • VDDIODDR may be nominally supplied at 1.2V when the SAMA5D3x is equipped with an LPDDR2 memory. In this case, VDDIODDR can be considered as part of Group 1.

For details, refer to Table 54-42 Power-up Timing Specification.

Figure 4-1: Recommended Power-up Sequence
Microchip ATSAMA5D33 - Power-up Considerations - 1

other | Channel | Time Segment | |-------------|--------------| | VDDBU | No specific order and no specific timing required among these channels | | VDDANA | No specific order and no specific timing required among these channels | | VDDOSC | No specific order and no specific timing required among these channels | | VDDIOM | No specific order and no specific timing required among these channels | | VDDFUSE | No specific order and no specific timing required among these channels | | VDDIOP0 | No specific order and no specific timing required among these channels | | VDDIOP1 | No specific order and no specific timing required among these channels | | VDDUTMII | No specific order and no specific timing required among these channels | | VDDIODDR | No specific order and no specific timing required among these channels | | VDDCORE | Group 1 | | VDDPLLA | Group 1 | | VDDUTMIC | Group 1 | | NRST | tRSTPU |

4.2.2 Power-down Considerations

Figure 4-2 gives the SAMA5D3x power-down sequence that starts by asserting the NRST line to 0. Once NRST is asserted, the supply inputs can be immediately shut down without any specific timing or order. VDDBU may not be shutdown if the application uses a backup battery on this supply input.

5. Memories

The SAMA5D3 embeds a total of 128 Kbytes high-speed SRAM0 and SRAM1. After Remap the SRAM is accessible at address 0 but also at address 0x00300000. Only the ARM core has access to the SRAM at address 0. The others masters (DMA, peripherals, etc.) always access the SRAM at address 0x00300000.

SRAM0 and SRAM1 can be accessed in parallel to improve the overall bandwidth of the system.

5.1.2 Internal ROM

The SAMA5D3 embeds one 160-Kbyte internal ROM containing a standard and a secure bootloader. The secure bootloader is described in a separate document, under NDA. The standard bootloader supports booting from:

• 8-bit NAND Flash with ECC management
- SPI Serial Flash
- SDCARD
• E M M C
• TWI EEPROM

The boot sequence can be selected using the boot order facility (Boot Sequence Controller Configuration Register). The internal ROM embeds Galois field tables that are used to compute NAND Flash ECC. Refer to Figure 11-9 Galois Field Table Mapping in Section 11. Standard Boot Strategies.

For standard boot strategies, refer to Section 11. Standard Boot Strategies.

For secure boot strategies, refer to the application note "SAMA5D3x Secure Boot Strategy" (NDA required).

5.2 External Memory

The SAMA5D3 features interfaces to offer connexion to a wide range of external memories or to parallel peripherals.

5.2.1 DDR2/LPDDR/LPDDR2 Interface

• 32-bit external interface
• 512 Mbytes address space on CS1
• Supports DDR2, LPDDR and LPDDR2 memories
- Drive level control
• I/O impedance control embedded
• Supports 4-banks and 8-banks and up to 512 Mbytes
- Multi-port

5.2.2 Static Memories and NAND Flash

The static memory controller is dedicated to interfacing external memory devices:

The static memory controller is able to drive up to four chip selects. NCS3 is dedicated to the NAND Flash control.

- Asynchronous SRAM-like memories and parallel peripherals

• NAND Flash (8-bit MLC and SLC)

The SMC embeds a NAND Flash Controller (NFC). The NFC can handle automatic transfers, sending the commands and address cycles to the NAND Flash and transferring the contents of the page (for read and write) to the NFC SRAM. It minimizes the CPU overhead.

In order to improve overall system performance the DATA phase of the transfer can be DMA assisted. The static memory embeds a NAND Flash Error Correction Code controller with the features as follows:

  • Algorithm based on BCH codes
    • Supports also SLC 1-bit (BCH 2-bit), SLC 4-bit (BCH 4-bit)
  • Programmable Error Correcting Capability:
  • 2-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit and 16-bit errors for 512 bytes/sector (4 Kbyte page)
  • 24-bit error for 1024 bytes/sector (8 Kbyte page)
  • Programmable sector size: 512 bytes or 1024 bytes
  • Programmable number of sector per page: 1, 2, 4 or 8 blocks of data per page

  • Programmable spare area size
    • Supports spare area ECC protection
    • Supports 8 Kbyte page size using 1024 bytes/sector and 4 Kbyte page size using 512 bytes/sector

  • Error detection is interrupt driven
  • Provides hardware acceleration for error location
    • Finds roots of error-locator polynomial
  • Programmable number of roots

6. Real-time Event Management

The events generated by peripherals are designed to be directly routed to peripherals managing/using these events without processor intervention. Peripherals receiving events contain logic by which to select the one required.

6.1 Embedded Characteristics

Peripherals generate event triggers which are directly routed to event managers such as ADC, for example, to start measurement/conversion without processor intervention.

6.2 Real-time Event Mapping List

Table 6-1: Real-time Event Mapping List

Event Generator Event Manager Function
PMC Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)Safety / Puts the PWM Outputs in Safe Mode (Main Crystal Clock Failure Detection)
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) PWMSafety / Puts the PWM Outputs in Safe Mode (Overspeed, Overcurrent detection, etc.)

7. System Controller

The System Controller is a set of peripherals that allows handling of key elements of the system, such as power, resets, clocks, time, interrupts, watchdog, etc.

The System Controller User Interface also embeds the registers that configure the Matrix and a set of registers for the chip configuration. The chip configuration registers configure the EBI chip select assignment and voltage range for external memories.

The System Controller's peripherals are all mapped within the highest 16 KB of address space, between addresses 0xFFFF D000 and 0xFFFF FFFF.

However, all the registers of System Controller are mapped on the top of the address space. All the registers of the System Controller can be addressed from a single pointer by using the standard ARM instruction set, as the Load/Store instruction have an indexing mode of ±4 KB.

Figure 7-1 on page 36 shows the System Controller block diagram.

8.3 Peripheral Signal Multiplexing on I/O Lines

The SAMA5D3 features five PIO controllers (PIOA, PIOB, PIOC, PIOD and PIOE) which multiplex the I/O lines of the peripheral set.

Each PIO Controller controls 32 lines. Each line can be assigned to one of three peripheral functions: A, B or C. The multiplexing tables (Table 3-1 SAMA5D3 Pinout for 324-ball LFBGA Package and Table 3-2 SAMA5D3 Pinout for 324-ball TFBGA Package) define how the I/O lines of the peripherals A, B and C are multiplexed on the PIO controllers. Note that some output-only peripheral functions might be duplicated within the tables.

The column "Reset State" indicates whether the PIO line resets in I/O mode or in peripheral mode. If I/O is mentioned, the PIO line resets in input with the pull-up enabled, so that the device is maintained in a static state as soon as the reset is released. As a result, the bit corresponding to the PIO line in the register PIO_PSR (Peripheral Status Register) resets low.

If a signal name is mentioned in the "Reset State" column, the PIO line is assigned to this function and the corresponding bit in PIO_PSR resets high. This is the case of pins controlling memories, in particular the address lines, which require the pin to be driven as soon as the reset is released. Note that the pull-up resistor is also enabled in this case.

8.4 Peripheral Clock Type

The SAMA5D3 Series embeds peripherals with five different clock types:

  • HCLOCK: AHB Clock, managed with registers PMC_SCER, PMC_SCDR and PMC_SCSR of PMC System Clock
  • PCLOCK: APB Clock, managed with registers PMC_PCER, PMC_PCDR, PMC_PCSR and PMC_PCR of Peripheral Clock
  • HCLOCK+PCLOCK: Both clock types coexist. The clock is managed with registers PMC_PCER, PMC_PCDR, PMC_PCSR and PMC_PCR of Peripheral Clock
  • SYS_CLOCK: This clock cannot be disabled.
  • PROC_CLOCK: The clock related to Processor Clock (PCK) and managed with registers PMC_SCDR and PMC_SCSR of PMC System Clock

Refer to Table 8-1 Peripheral Identifiers for details.

9. ARM Cortex-A5

9.1 Description

The ARM Cortex-A5 processor is a high-performance, low-power, ARM macrocell with an L1 cache subsystem that provides full virtual memory capabilities. The Cortex-A5 processor implements the ARMv7 architecture and runs 32-bit ARM instructions, 16-bit and 32-bit Thumb instructions, and 8-bit Java™ byte codes in Jazelle® state.

The Floating-Point Unit (FPU) supports the ARMv7 VFPv4-D16 architecture without Advanced SIMD extensions (NEON). It is tightly integrated to the Cortex-A5 processor pipeline. It provides trapless execution and is optimized for scalar operation. It can generate an Undefined instruction exception on vector instructions that enables the programmer to emulate vector capability in software. See the Cortex-A5 Floating-Point Unit Technical Reference Manual.

Note: All ARM publications referenced in this datasheet can be found at www.arm.com.

9.1.1 Power Management

The Cortex-A5 design supports the following main levels of power management:

  • Run Mode
  • Standby Mode

9.1.1.1 Run Mode

Run mode is the normal mode of operation where all of the processor functionality is available. Everything, including core logic and embedded RAM arrays, is clocked and powered up.

9.1.1.2 Standby Mode

Standby mode disables most of the clocks of the processor, while keeping it powered up. This reduces the power drawn to the static leakage current, plus a small clock power overhead required to enable the processor to wake up from Standby mode. The transition from Standby mode to Run mode is caused by one of the following:

  • the arrival of an interrupt, either masked or unmasked
  • the arrival of an event, if standby mode was initiated by a Wait for Event (WFE) instruction
  • a debug request, when either debug is enabled or disabled
  • a reset.

9.2 Embedded Characteristics

  • In-order pipeline with dynamic branch prediction
  • ARM, Thumb, and ThumbEE instruction set support
    • Harvard level 1 memory system with a Memory Management Unit (MMU)
    • 32 Kbytes Data Cache
    • 32 Kbytes Instruction Cache
  • 64-bit AXI master interface
    • ARM v7 debug architecture
    • VFPv4-D16 FPU with trapless execution
    • Jazelle hardware acceleration

9.4 Programmer Model

9.4.1 Processor Operating Modes

The following operation modes are present in all states:

  • User mode (USR) is the usual ARM program execution state. It is used for executing most application programs.
  • Fast Interrupt (FIQ) mode is used for handling fast interrupts. It is suitable for high-speed data transfer or channel process.
  • Interrupt (IRQ) mode is used for general-purpose interrupt handling.
    • Supervisor mode (SVC) is a protected mode for the operating system.
  • Abort mode (ABT) is entered after a data or instruction prefetch abort.
  • System mode (SYS) is a privileged user mode for the operating system.
  • Undefined mode (UND) is entered when an undefined instruction exception occurs.

Mode changes may be made under software control, or may be brought about by external interrupts or exception processing. Most application programs execute in User Mode. The non-user modes, known as privileged modes, are entered in order to service interrupts or exceptions or to access protected resources.

9.4.2 Processor Operating States

The processor has the following instruction set states controlled by the T bit and J bit in the CPSR.

  • ARM state:
    The processor executes 32-bit, word-aligned ARM instructions.
  • Thumb state:
    The processor executes 16-bit and 32-bit, halfword-aligned Thumb instructions.
  • ThumbEE state:

The processor executes a variant of the Thumb instruction set designed as a target for dynamically generated code. This is code compiled on the device either shortly before or during execution from a portable bytecode or other intermediate or native representation.

- Jazelle state:

The processor executes variable length, byte-aligned Java bytecodes.

The J bit and the T bit determine the instruction set used by the processor. Table 9-1 shows the encoding of these bits.

Table 9-1: CPSR J and T Bit Encoding

J T Instruction Set State
00ARM
01Thumb
1 0Jazelle
1 1ThumbEE

Changing between ARM and Thumb states does not affect the processor mode or the register contents. See the ARM Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R edition for information on entering and exiting ThumbEE state.

9.4.2.1 Switching State

It is possible to change the instruction set state of the processor between:

  • ARM state and Thumb state using the BX and BLX instructions.
  • Thumb state and ThumbEE state using the ENTERX and LEAVEX instructions.
    • ARM and Jazelle state using the BXJ instruction.
  • Thumb and Jazelle state using the BXJ instruction.

See the ARM Architecture Reference Manual for more information about changing instruction set state.

9.4.3 Cortex-A5 Registers

This view provides 16 ARM core registers, R0 to R15, that include the Stack Pointer (SP), Link Register (LR), and Program Counter (PC). These registers are selected from a total set of either 31 or 33 registers, depending on whether or not the Security Extensions are implemented. The current execution mode determines the selected set of registers, as shown in Table 9-2. This shows that the arrangement of the registers provides duplicate copies of some registers, with the current register selected by the execution mode. This arrangement is described as banking of the registers, and the duplicated copies of registers are referred to as banked registers.

Note 1: This register provides access to more than one register. The register accessed depends on the value of the CRm field or Opcode_2 field.

9.4.4 CP 15 Register Access

CP15 registers can only be accessed in privileged mode by:

  • MCR (Move to Coprocessor from ARM Register) instruction is used to write an ARM register to CP15.
  • MRC (Move to ARM Register from Coprocessor) instruction is used to read the value of CP15 to an ARM register.

Other instructions such as CDP, LDC, STC can cause an undefined instruction exception.

The assembler code for these instructions is:

MCR/MRC{cond} p15, opcode_1, Rd, CRn, CRm, opcode_2.

9.4.5 Addresses in the Cortex-A5 processor

The Cortex-A5 processor operates using virtual addresses (VAs). The Memory Management Unit (MMU) translates these VAs into the physical addresses (PAs) used to access the memory system. Translation tables hold the mappings between VAs and PAs.

See the ARM Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R edition for more information.

When the Cortex-A5 processor is executing in Non-secure state, the processor performs translation table look-ups using the Non-secure versions of the Translation Table Base Registers. In this situation, any VA can only translate into a Non-secure PA. When it is in Secure state, the Cortex-A5 processor performs translation table look-ups using the Secure versions of the Translation Table Base Registers. In this situation, the security state of any VA is determined by the NS bit of the translation table descriptors for that address.

Following is an example of the address manipulation that occurs when the Cortex-A5 processor requests an instruction:

  1. The Cortex-A5 processor issues the VA of the instruction as Secure or Non-secure VA accesses according to the state the processor is in.
  2. The instruction cache is indexed by the bits of the VA. The MMU performs the translation table look-up in parallel with the cache access. If the processor is in the Secure state it uses the Secure translation tables, otherwise it uses the Non-secure translation tables.
  3. If the protection check carried out by the MMU on the VA does not abort and the PA tag is in the instruction cache, the instruction data is returned to the processor.
  4. If there is a cache miss, the MMU passes the PA to the AXI bus interface to perform an external access. The external access is always Non-secure when the core is in the Non-secure state. In the Secure state, the external access is Secure or Non-secure according to the NS attribute value in the selected translation table entry. In Secure state, both L1 and L2 translation table walk accesses are marked as Secure, even if the first level descriptor is marked as NS.

9.5 Memory Management Unit

9.5.1 About the MMU

The MMU works with the L1 and L2 memory system to translate virtual addresses to physical addresses. It also controls accesses to and from external memory.

The ARM v7 Virtual Memory System Architecture (VMSA) features include the following:

• Page table entries that support:

- 16 Mbyte supersections. The processor supports supersections that consist of 16 Mbyte blocks of memory.

- 1 Mbyte sections

- 64 Kbyte large pages

- 4 Kbyte small pages

- 16 access domains

- Global and application-specific identifiers to remove the requirement for context switch TLB flushes.

- Extended permissions checking capability.

TLB maintenance and configuration operations are controlled through a dedicated coprocessor, CP15, integrated with the core. This coprocessor provides a standard mechanism for configuring the L1 memory system.

See the ARM Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R edition for a full architectural description of the ARMv7 VMSA.

9.5.2 Memory Management System

The Cortex-A5 processor supports the ARM v7 VMSA. The translation of a Virtual Address (VA) used by the instruction set architecture to a Physical Address (PA) used in the memory system and the management of the associated attributes and permissions is carried out using a two-level MMU.

The first level MMU uses a Harvard design with separate micro TLB structures in the PFU for instruction fetches (luTLB) and in the DPU for data read and write requests (DuTLB).

A miss in the micro TLB results in a request to the main unified TLB shared between the data and instruction sides of the memory system. The TLB consists of a 128-entry two-way set-associative RAM based structure. The TLB page-walk mechanism supports page descriptors held in the L1 data cache. The caching of page descriptors is configured globally for each translation table base register, TTBRx, in the system coprocessor, CP15.

The TLB contains a hitmap cache of the page types which have already been stored in the TLB.

9.5.2.1 Memory Types

Although various different memory types can be specified in the page tables, the Cortex-A5 processor does not implement all possible combinations:

  • Write-through caches are not supported. Any memory marked as write-through is treated as Non-cacheable.
  • The outer shareable attribute is not supported. Anything marked as outer shareable is treated in the same way as inner shareable.
  • Write-back no write-allocate is not supported. It is treated as write-back write-allocate.

Table 9-5 shows the treatment of each different memory type in the Cortex-A5 processor in addition to the architectural requirements.

9.5.3 TLB Organization

TLB Organization is described in the sections that follow:

  • Micro TLB
  • Main TLB

9.5.3.1 Micro TLB

The first level of caching for the page table information is a micro TLB of 10 entries that is implemented on each of the instruction and data sides. These blocks provide a lookup of the virtual addresses in a single cycle.

The micro TLB returns the physical address to the cache for the address comparison, and also checks the access permissions to signal either a Prefetch Abort or a Data Abort.

All main TLB related maintenance operations affect both the instruction and data micro TLBs, causing them to be flushed. In the same way, any change of the following registers causes the micro TLBs to be flushed:

  • Context ID Register (CONTEXTIDR)
  • Domain Access Control Register (DACR)
    • Primary Region Remap Register (PRRR)

• Normal Memory Remap Register (NMRR)
• Translation Table Base Registers (TTBR0 and TTBR1)

9.5.3.2 Main TLB

Misses from the instruction and data micro TLBs are handled by a unified main TLB. Accesses to the main TLB take a variable number of cycles, according to competing requests from each of the micro TLBs and other implementation-dependent factors.

The main TLB is 128-entry two-way set-associative.

TLB match process

Each TLB entry contains a virtual address, a page size, a physical address, and a set of memory properties. Each is marked as being associated with a particular application space (ASID), or as global for all application spaces. The CONTEXTIDR determines the currently selected application space.

A TLB entry matches when these conditions are true:

  • Its virtual address matches that of the requested address.
  • Its Non-secure TLB ID (NSTID) matches the Secure or Non-secure state of the MMU request.
  • Its ASID matches the current ASID in the CONTEXTIDR or is global.

The operating system must ensure that, at most, one TLB entry matches at any time. The TLB can store entries based on the following block sizes:

Supersections Describe 16 Mbyte blocks of memory

Sections Describe 1 Mbyte blocks of memory

Large pages Describe 64 Kbyte blocks of memory

Small pages Describe 4 Kbyte blocks of memory

Supersections, sections and large pages are supported to permit mapping of a large region of memory while using only a single entry in the TLB. If no mapping for an address is found within the TLB, then the translation table is automatically read by hardware and a mapping is placed in the TLB.

9.5.4 Memory Access Sequence

When the processor generates a memory access, the MMU:

  1. Performs a lookup for the requested virtual address and current ASID and security state in the relevant instruction or data micro TLB.
  2. If there is a miss in the micro TLB, performs a lookup for the requested virtual address and current ASID and security state in the main TLB.
  3. If there is a miss in main TLB, performs a hardware translation table walk.

The MMU can be configured to perform hardware translation table walks in cacheable regions by setting the IRGN bits in Translation Table Base Register 0 and Translation Table Base Register 1. If the encoding of the IRGN bits is write-back, an L1 data cache lookup is performed and data is read from the data cache. If the encoding of the IRGN bits is write-through or non-cacheable, an access to external memory is performed. For more information refer to: Cortex-A5 Technical Reference Manual.

The MMU might not find a global mapping, or a mapping for the currently selected ASID, with a matching Non-secure TLB ID (NSTID) for the virtual address in the TLB. In this case, the hardware does a translation table walk if the translation table walk is enabled by the PD0 or PD1 bit in the Translation Table Base Control Register. If translation table walks are disabled, the processor returns a Section Translation fault. For more information refer to: Cortex-A5 Technical Reference Manual.

If the TLB finds a matching entry, it uses the information in the entry as follows:

  1. The access permission bits and the domain determine if the access is enabled. If the matching entry does not pass the permission checks, the MMU signals a memory abort. See the ARM Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R edition for a description of access permission bits, abort types and priorities, and for a description of the Instruction Fault Status Register (IFSR) and Data Fault Status Register (DFSR).

  2. The memory region attributes specified in both the TLB entry and the CP15 c10 remap registers determine if the access is

  3. Secure or Non-secure

  4. Shared or not
  5. Normal memory, Device, or Strongly-ordered

For more information refer to: Cortex-A5 Technical Reference Manual, Memory region remap.

  1. The TLB translates the virtual address to a physical address for the memory access.

9.5.5 Interaction with Memory System

The MMU can be enabled or disabled as described in the ARM Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R edition.

9.5.6 External Aborts

External memory errors are defined as those that occur in the memory system rather than those that are detected by the MMU. External memory errors are expected to be extremely rare. External aborts are caused by errors flagged by the AXI interfaces when the request goes external to the Cortex-A5 processor. External aborts can be configured to trap to Monitor mode by setting the EA bit in the Secure Configuration Register. For more information refer to: Cortex-A5 Technical Reference Manual.

9.5.6.1 External Aborts on Data Write

Externally generated errors during a data write can be asynchronous. This means that the r14_abt on entry into the abort handler on such an abort might not hold the address of the instruction that caused the exception.

The DFAR is Unpredictable when an asynchronous abort occurs.

Externally generated errors during data read are always synchronous. The address captured in the DFAR matches the address which generated the external abort.

9.5.6.2 Synchronous and Asynchronous Aborts

Chapter 4, System Control in the Cortex-A5 Technical Reference Manual describes synchronous and asynchronous aborts, their priorities, and the IFSR and DFSR. To determine a fault type, read the DFSR for a data abort or the IFSR for an instruction abort.

The processor supports an Auxiliary Fault Status Register for software compatibility reasons only. The processor does not modify this register because of any generated abort.

9.5.7 MMU Software Accessible Registers

The system control coprocessor registers, CP15, in conjunction with page table descriptors stored in memory, control the MMU.

Access all the registers with instructions of the form:

MRC p15, 0, , , ,

MCR p15, 0, , , ,

CRn is the system control coprocessor register. Unless specified otherwise, CRm and Opcode_2 Should Be Zero.

10. Debug and Test

10.1 Description

The device features a number of complementary debug and test capabilities.

A common JTAG/ICE (In-Circuit Emulator) port is used for standard debugging functions, such as downloading code and single-stepping through programs.

A 2-pin debug port Serial Wire Debug (SWD) replaces the 5-pin JTAG port and provides an easy and risk free alternative to JTAG as the two signals SWDIO and SWCLK are overlaid on the TMS and TCK pins, allowing for bi-modal devices that provide the other JTAG signals. These extra JTAG pins can be switched to other uses when in SWD mode.

The Debug Unit provides a two-pin UART that can be used to upload an application into internal SRAM. It manages the interrupt handling of the internal COMMTX and COMMRX signals that trace the activity of the Debug Communication Channel.

A set of dedicated debug and test input/output pins gives direct access to these capabilities from a PC-based test environment.

10.6 Functional Description

10.6.1 Test Pin

One dedicated pin, TST, is used to define the device operating mode. The user must make sure that this pin is tied at low level to ensure normal operating conditions. Other values associated with this pin are reserved for manufacturing test.

10.6.2 EmbeddedICE

The Cortex-A5 EmbeddedICE-RT ^™ is supported via the ICE/JTAG port. It is connected to a host computer via an ICE interface. The internal state of the Cortex-A5 is examined through an ICE/JTAG port which allows instructions to be serially inserted into the pipeline of the core without using the external data bus. Therefore, when in debug state, a store-multiple (STM) can be inserted into the instruction pipeline. This exports the contents of the Cortex-A5 registers. This data can be serially shifted out without affecting the rest of the system.

There are two scan chains inside the Cortex-A5 processor which support testing, debugging, and programming of the EmbeddedICE-RT. The scan chains are controlled by the ICE/JTAG port.

EmbeddedICE mode is selected when JTAGSEL is low. It is not possible to switch directly between ICE and JTAG operations. A chip reset must be performed after JTAGSEL is changed.

For further details on the EmbeddedICE-RT, see the ARM document:

ARM IHI 0031A_ARM_debug_interface_v5.pdf

10.6.3 JTAG Signal Description

TMS is the Test Mode Select input which controls the transitions of the test interface state machine.

TDI is the Test Data Input line which supplies the data to the JTAG registers (Boundary Scan Register, Instruction Register, or other data registers).

TDO is the Test Data Output line which is used to serially output the data from the JTAG registers to the equipment controlling the test. It carries the sampled values from the boundary scan chain (or other JTAG registers) and propagates them to the next chip in the serial test circuit.

NTRST (optional in IEEE Standard 1149.1) is a Test-ReSeT input which is mandatory in ARM cores and used to reset the debug logic. On Microchip Cortex-A5-based cores, NTRST is a Power On Reset output. It is asserted on power on. If necessary, the user can also reset the debug logic with the NTRST pin assertion during 2.5 MCK periods.

TCK is the Test ClocK input which enables the test interface. TCK is pulsed by the equipment controlling the test and not by the tested device. It can be pulsed at any frequency.

10.6.4 Chip Access Using JTAG Connection

The JTAG connection is not enabled by default on this chip at delivery due to the secure ROM code implementation.

By default, the SAMA5D3 devices boot in Standard mode and not in Secure mode. When the secure ROM code starts, it disables the JTAG access for the entire boot sequence.

If the secure ROM code does not find any program in the external memory, it enables the USB connection and the serial port and waits for a dedicated command to switch the chip into Secure mode.

If any other character is received, the secure ROM code starts the standard SAM-BA ^® monitor, locks access to the ROM memory, and enables the JTAG.

The chip can then be accessed using the JTAG connection.

If the secure ROM code finds a bootable program, it automatically disables ROM access and enables the JTAG connection just before launching the program.

The procedure to enable JTAG access is as follows:

- Connect your computer to the board with JTAG and USB (J20 USB-A)

- Power on the chip

- Open a terminal console (TeraTerm or HyperTerminal, etc.) on your computer and connect to the USB CDC Serial COM port related to the J20 connector on the board

- Send the '#' character. You will see then the prompt '>' character sent by the device (indicating that the Standard SAM-BA Monitor is running)

- Use the Standard SAM-BA Monitor to connect to the chip with JTAG

Note that you don't need to follow this sequence in order to connect the Standard SAM-BA Monitor with USB.

10.6.5 Debug Unit

The Debug Unit provides a two-pin (DXRD and TXRD) USART that can be used for several debug and trace purposes and offers an ideal means for in-situ programming solutions and debug monitor communication. Moreover, the association with two peripheral data controller channels permits packet handling of these tasks with processor time reduced to a minimum.

The Debug Unit also manages the interrupt handling of the COMMTX and COMMRX signals that come from the ICE and that trace the activity of the Debug Communication Channel. The Debug Unit allows blockage of access to the system through the ICE interface.

A specific register, the Debug Unit Chip ID Register, gives information about the product version and its internal configuration.

For further details on the Debug Unit, see Section 42. Debug Unit (DBGU).

10.6.6 IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary Scan

IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary Scan allows pin-level access independent of the device packaging technology.

IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary Scan is enabled when JTAGSEL is high. The SAMPLE, EXTEST and BYPASS functions are implemented. In ICE debug mode, the ARM processor responds with a non-JTAG chip ID that identifies the processor to the ICE system. This is not IEEE 1149.1 JTAG-compliant.

It is not possible to switch directly between JTAG and ICE operations. A chip reset must be performed after JTAGSEL is changed.

A Boundary-scan Descriptor Language (BSDL) file is provided to set up test.

11. Standard Boot Strategies

11.1 Description

The system always boots from the ROM memory at address 0x0.

The ROM code is a boot program contained in the embedded ROM. It is also called "First level bootloader".

This microcontroller can be configured to run a Standard Boot mode or a Secure Boot mode. More information on how the Secure Boot mode can be enabled, and how the chip operates in this mode, is provided in the application note "SAMA5D3x Secure Boot Strategy", literature number 11165 (NDA required). To obtain this application note and additional information about the secure boot and related tools, contact your local Microchip sales office. Note that a PGP key is required for delivery.

By default, the chip starts in Standard Boot Mode.

Note: JTAG access is disabled during the execution of ROM Code Sequence. It is re-enabled when jumping into SRAM when a valid code has been found on an external NVM, in the same time the ROM memory is hidden. If no valid boot has been found on an external NVM, the ROM Code enables the USB connection and the DBGU serial port, and then waits for a special command to set the chip in Secure mode. If any other character is received, the ROM code starts the standard SAM-BA monitor, locks access to the ROM memory and re-enables the JTAG connection.

The user can choose to boot from an external NOR Flash memory using the BMS pin. The sampling of the BMS pin is done by hardware at reset, and the result is available in the BMS bit of the SFR_EBICFG register.

The first step of the ROM code program is to check the state of this pin by reading this register.

If BMS signal is tied to 0, the BMS bit is read at 0.

The ROM code allows execution of the code contained in the memory connected to Chip Select 0 of the External Bus Interface.

To do so, the following sequence is performed by the ROM code:

  • The main clock is the on-chip 12 MHz RC oscillator.
  • The Static Memory Controller is configured with timing allowing code execution in CS0 external memory at 12 MHz.
  • AXI matrix is configured to remap EBI CS0 address at 0x0.
  • 0x0 is loaded in the Program Counter register.

The user software in the external memory must perform the next operation in order to complete the clocks and SMC timings configuration to run at a higher clock frequency:

  • Enable the 32768 Hz oscillator if best accuracy is needed.
  • Reprogram the SMC setup, cycle, hold, mode timing registers for EBI CS0, to adapt them to the new clock.
  • Program the PMC (Main Oscillator Enable or Bypass mode).
  • Program and start the PLL.
  • Switch the system clock to the new value.

If BMS signal is tied to 1, the BMS bit is read at 1.

The ROM code standard sequence is executed as follows:

  • Basic chip initialization: crystal or external clock frequency detection.
  • Attempt to retrieve a valid code from external non-volatile memories (NVM).
  • Execution of a monitor called SAM-BA Monitor, in case no valid application has been found on any NVM.

11.2 Flow Diagram

The ROM code implements the algorithm shown in Figure 11-1.

    B -->|No| D["SAM-BA Monitor"]

11.3 Chip Setup

At boot start-up, the processor clock (PCK) and the master clock (MCK) source is the 12 MHz fast RC oscillator. Initialization follows the steps described below:

  1. Stack Setup for ARM supervisor mode
  2. Main Oscillator Detection: The Main Clock is switched to the 32 kHz RC oscillator to allow external clock frequency to be measured. Then the Main Oscillator is enabled and set in the bypass mode. If the MOSCSELS bit rises, an external clock is connected, and the next step is Main Clock Selection (3). If not, the bypass mode is cleared to attempt external quartz detection. This detection is successful when the MOSCXTS and MOSCSELS bits rise, else the internal 12 MHz fast RC oscillator is used as the Main Clock.
  3. Main Clock Selection: The Master Clock source is switched from the Slow Clock to the Main Oscillator without prescaler. The PMC Status Register is polled to wait for MCK Ready. PCK and MCK are now the Main Clock.
  4. C Variable Initialization: Non zero-initialized data is initialized in the RAM (copy from ROM to RAM). Zero-initialized data is set to 0 in the RAM.
  5. PLLA Initialization: PLLA is configured to get a PCK at 96 MHz and an MCK at 48 MHz. If an external clock or crystal frequency running at 12, 16, 24 or 48 MHz is found, then the PLLA is configured to allow communication on the USB link for the SAM-BA Monitor; else the Main Clock is switched to the internal 12 MHz fast RC oscillator, but USB will not be activated.

11.4 NVM Boot

11.4.1 NVM Boot Sequence

The boot sequence on external memory devices can be controlled using the Boot Sequence Controller Configuration Register (BSC_CR). The user can then choose to bypass some steps shown in Figure 11-2 "NVM Bootloader Sequence Diagram" according to the BOOT value in the BSC_CR.

    G --> H["Restore the reset values for the peripherals. Perform the REMAP and set the PC to 0 to jump to the downloaded application"]
    H --> I["End"]

The NVM bootloader program first initializes the PIOs related to the NVM device. Then it configures the right peripheral depending on the NVM and tries to access this memory. If the initialization fails, it restores the reset values for the PIO and the peripheral, and then tries to fulfill the same operations on the next NVM of the sequence.

If the initialization is successful, the NVM bootloader program reads the beginning of the NVM and determines if the NVM contains a valid code.

If the NVM does not contain a valid code, the NVM bootloader program restores the reset value for the peripherals and then tries to fulfill the same operations on the next NVM of the sequence.

If a valid code is found, this code is loaded from the NVM into the internal SRAM and executed by branching at address 0x0000_0000 after remap. This code may be the application code or a second-level bootloader. All the calls to functions are PC relative and do not use absolute addresses.

11.4.3 Valid Code Detection

There are two kinds of valid code detection.

11.4.3.1 ARM Exception Vectors Check

The NVM bootloader program reads and analyzes the first 28 bytes corresponding to the first seven ARM exception vectors. Except for the sixth vector, these bytes must implement the ARM instructions for either branch or load PC with PC relative addressing.

Load PC with the PC relative addressing instruction:

  • Rn = Rd = PC = 0xF
  • I==0 (12-bit immediate value)
  • P==1 (pre-indexed)
  • U offset added (U==1) or subtracted (U==0)
  • W = = 1

The sixth vector, at the offset 0x14, contains the size of the image to download. The user must replace this vector with the user's own vector. This procedure is described below.

Figure 11-7: Structure of the ARM Vector 6

Size of the code to download in bytes

The value has to be smaller than 64 Kbytes.

18eafffffeB0x18

11.4.3.2 boot.bin File Check

This method is the one used on FAT formatted SD Card and eMMC. The boot program must be a file named "boot.bin" written in the root directory of the file system. Its size must not exceed the maximum size allowed: 64 Kbytes (0x10000).

11.4.4 Detailed Memory Boot Procedures

11.4.4.1 NAND Flash Boot: NAND Flash Detection

After the NAND Flash interface configuration, a reset command is sent to the memory.

Hardware ECC detection and correction are provided by the PMECC peripheral. Refer to Section 30.18 PMECC Controller Functional Description for more details.

The Boot Program is able to retrieve NAND Flash parameters and ECC requirements using two methods as follows:

  • The detection of a specific header written at the beginning of the first page of the NAND Flash,
    or
  • Through the ONFI parameters for the ONFI compliant memories

Note: Booting on 16-bit NAND Flash is not possible; only 8-bit NAND Flash memories are supported.

    H --> I["End"]
    E --> J["Restore the reset values for the peripherals and Jump to next bootable memory"]

• NAND Flash Specific Header Detection

This is the first method used to determine NAND Flash parameters. After Initialization and Reset command, the Boot Program reads the first page without an ECC check, to determine if the NAND parameter header is present. The header is made of 52 times the same 32-bit word (for redundancy reasons) which must contain NAND and PMECC parameters used to correctly perform the read of the rest of the data in the NAND. This 32-bit word is described below:

- ONFI 2.2 Parameters

In case no valid header is found, the Boot Program checks if the NAND Flash is ONFI compliant, sending a Read Id command (0x90) with 0x20 as parameter for the address. If the NAND Flash is ONFI compliant, the Boot Program retrieves the following parameters with the help of the Get Parameter Page command:

• Number of bytes per page (byte 80)
• Number of bytes in spare zone (byte 84)
• Number of ECC bit correction required (byte 112)
- ECC sector size: by default, set to 512 bytes; or to 1024 bytes if the ECC bit capability above is 0xFF

By default, the ONFI NAND Flash detection will turn ON the usePmecc parameter, and the ECC correction algorithm is automatically activated.

Once the Boot Program retrieves the parameter, using one of the two methods described above, it reads the first page again, with or without ECC, depending on the usePmecc parameter. Then it looks for a valid code programmed just after the header offset 0xD0. If the code is valid, the program is copied at the beginning of the internal SRAM.

Note: Booting on 16-bit NAND Flash is not possible; only 8-bit NAND Flash memories are supported.

11.4.4.2 NAND Flash Boot: PMECC Error Detection and Correction

NAND Flash boot procedure uses PMECC to detect and correct errors during NAND Flash read operations in two cases:

- When the usePmecc flag is set in a specific NAND header.

If the flag is not set, no ECC correction is performed during the NAND Flash page read.

- When the NAND Flash has been detected using ONFI parameters.

The ROM memory embeds the Galois field tables. The user does not need to embed them in his own software.

The Galois field tables are mapped in the ROM just after the ROM code, as described in Figure 11-9.

11.4.4.3 SD Card/eMMC Boot

The SD Card / eMMC bootloader looks for a "boot.bin" file in the root directory of a FAT12/16/32 file system.

• Supported SD Card Devices

SD Card Boot supports all SD Card memories compliant with the SD Memory Card Specification V2.0. This includes SDHC cards.

Note: The ROM Code implements a 3.4 ms timeout waiting for an answer to the Power-on reset command after the peripheral clock enable. SD/eMMC memories that do not comply with this timing may not be detected correctly during the boot sequence.

11.4.4.4 SPI Flash Boot

Two types of SPI Flash are supported: SPI Serial Flash and SPI DataFlash.

The SPI Flash bootloader tries to boot on SPI0, first looking for SPI Serial Flash, and then for SPI DataFlash.

It uses only one valid code detection: analysis of ARM exception vectors.

The SPI Flash read is done using the Continuous Read command from the address 0x0. This command is 0xE8 for DataFlash and 0x0B for Serial Flash devices.

• Supported DataFlash Devices

The SPI Flash Boot program supports the DataFlash devices listed in Table 11-2.

• Supported Serial Flash Devices

The SPI Flash Boot program supports all SPI Serial Flash devices responding correctly at both Get Status and Continuous Read commands.

11.4.4.5 TWI EEPROM Boot

The TWI EEPROM Bootloader uses the TWI0. It uses only one valid code detection. It analyzes the ARM exception vectors.

• Supported TWI EEPROM Devices

TWI EEPROM Boot supports all I²C-compatible TWI EEPROM memories using the 7-bit device address 0x50.

11.4.5 Hardware and Software Constraints

The NVM drivers use several PIOs in peripheral mode to communicate with external memory devices. Care must be taken when these PIOs are used by the application. The connected devices could be unintentionally driven at boot time, and thus electrical conflicts between output pins used by the NVM drivers and the connected devices could occur.

To assure the correct functionality, it is recommended to plug in critical devices to other pins, not used by the NVM.

Table 11-3 contains a list of pins that are driven during the boot program execution. These pins are driven during the boot sequence for a period of less than 1 second if no correct boot program is found.

Before performing the jump to the application in the internal SRAM, all the PIOs and peripherals used in the boot program are set to their reset state.

11.5 SAM-BA Monitor

If no valid code is found in the NVM during the NVM bootloader sequence, the SAM-BA Monitor program is launched.

The SAM-BA Monitor principle is to:

  • Initialize DBGU and USB
  • Check if USB Device enumeration occurred
  • Check if characters are received on the DBGU

Once the communication interface is identified, the application runs in an infinite loop waiting for different commands as listed in Table 11-4.

11.5.2 DBGU Serial Port

Communication is performed through the DBGU serial port initialized to 115,200 Baud, 8 bits of data, no parity, 1 stop bit.

11.5.2.1 Supported External Crystal/External Clocks

The SAM-BA Monitor supports a frequency of 12, 16, 24 or 48 MHz to allow DBGU communication for both external crystal and external clock.

11.5.2.2 Xmodem Protocol

The Send and Receive File commands use the Xmodem protocol to communicate. Any terminal performing this protocol can be used to send the application file to the target. The size of the binary file to send depends on the SRAM size embedded in the product. In all cases, the size of the binary file must be lower than the SRAM size because the Xmodem protocol requires some SRAM memory in order to work.

The Xmodem protocol supported is the 128-byte length block. This protocol uses a two-character CRC16 to ensure detection of maximum bit errors.

Xmodem protocol with CRC is supported by successful transmission reports provided both by a sender and by a receiver. Each transfer block is as follows:

<255-blk #><--128 data bytes--> in which:

- < SOH > = 01 hex

- = binary number, starts at 01, increments by 1, and wraps 0FFH to 00H (not to 01)

- <255-blk #> = 1's complement of the blk#.

- = 2 bytes CRC16

Figure 11-11 shows a transmission using this protocol.

11.5.3 USB Device Port

11.5.3.1 Supported External Crystal / External Clocks

The SAM-BA Monitor supports a frequency of 12, 16, 24 or 48 MHz to allow USB communication for both external crystal and external clock.

11.5.3.2 USB Class

The device uses the USB Communication Device Class (CDC) drivers to take advantage of the installed PC Serial Communication software to talk over the USB. The CDC class is implemented in all releases of Windows ^® beginning with Windows 98SE ^® . The CDC document, available at www.usb.org, describes how to implement devices such as ISDN modems and virtual COM ports.

The vendor ID for is ID 0x03EB. The product ID is 0x6124. These references are used by the host operating system to mount the correct driver. On Windows systems, INF files contain the correspondence between vendor ID and product ID.

11.5.3.3 Enumeration Process

The USB protocol is a master/slave protocol. The host starts the enumeration, sending requests to the device through the control endpoint. The device handles standard requests as defined in the USB Specification.

Table 11-5: Handled Standard Requests

Request Definition
GET_DESCRIPTION Returns the current device configuration value
SET_ADDRESS Sets the device address for all future device access
SET_CONFIGURATION Sets the device configuration
GET_CONFIGURATION Returns the current device configuration value
GET_STATUS Returns status for the specified recipient
SET_FEATURE Used to set or enable a specific feature
CLEAR_FEATUREUsed to clear or disable a specific feature

The device also handles some class requests defined in the CDC class.

Table 11-6: Handled Class Requests

Request Definition
SET_LINE_CODINGConfigures DTE rate, stop bits, parity and number of character bits
GET_LINE_CODINGRequests current DTE rate, stop bits, parity and number of character bits
SET_CONTROL_LINE_STATERS-232 signal used to indicate to the DCE device that the DTE device is now present

Unhandled requests are STALLed.

11.5.3.4 Communication Endpoints

Endpoint 0 is used for the enumeration process.

Endpoint 1 (64-byte Bulk OUT) and endpoint 2 (64-byte Bulk IN) are used as communication endpoints.

SAM-BA Boot commands are sent by the host through Endpoint 1. If required, the message is split into several data payloads by the host driver.

If the command requires a response, the host sends IN transactions to pick up the response.

12. Boot Sequence Controller (BSC)

12.1 Description

The System Controller embeds a Boot Sequence Controller (BSC). The boot sequence is programmable through the Boot Sequence Controller Configuration Register (BSC_CR) to save timeout delays on boot.

The BSC_CR is powered by VDDBU. Any modification of the register value is stored and applied after the next reset. The register defaults to the factory value in case of battery removal.

The BSC_CR is programmable with user programs or SAM-BA and is key-protected.

13. AXI Matrix (AXIMX)

13.1 Description

The AXI Matrix comprises the embedded Advanced Extensible Interface (AXI) bus protocol which supports separate address/control and data phases, unaligned data transfers using byte strobes, burst-based transactions with only start address issued, separate read and write data channels to enable low-cost DMA, ability to issue multiple outstanding addresses, out-of-order transaction completion, and easy addition of register stages to provide timing closure.

13.2 Embedded Characteristics

• High performance AXI network interconnect

• 2 Masters :

- Core

- AHB/AXI bridge from AHB Matrix

• 3 Slaves:

- ROM

- AXI/AHB bridge to AHB Matrix

- Slave0 of MPDDRC

- Single-cycle arbitration

• Full pipelining to prevent master stalls

- 1 remap state

13.3 Operation

13.3.1 Remap

Remap states are managed in the AXI Matrix Remap Register (AXIMX_REMAP): AXIMX_REMAP.REMAP0 (register bit 0) is used to remap RAM @ addr 0x00000000.

Refer to Section 13.4 AXI Matrix (AXIMX) User Interface.

The number of remap states can be defined using eight bits of the AXIMX_REMAP register, and a bit in AXIMX_REMAP controls each remap state.

Each remap state can be used to control the address decoding for one or more slave interfaces. If a slave interface is affected by two remap states that are both asserted, the remap state with the lowest remap bit number takes precedence.

Each slave interface can be configured independently so that a remap state can perform different functions for different masters.

A remap state can:

- Alias a memory region into two different address ranges

- Move an address region

- Remove an address region

Because of the nature of the distributed register subsystem, the masters receive the updated remap bit states in sequence, and not simultaneously.

A slave interface does not update to the latest remap bit setting until:

- The address completion handshake accepts any transaction that is pending

- Any current lock sequence completes

At powerup, ROM is seen at address 0. After powerup, the internal SRAM can be moved down to address 0 by means of the remap bits.

13.4 AXI Matrix (AXIMX) User Interface

SRAM is seen at address 0x00000000 (through AHB slave interface) instead of ROM.

14. Bus Matrix (MATRIX)

14.1 Description

The Bus Matrix (MATRIX) implements a multi-layer AHB, based on the AHB-Lite protocol, that enables parallel access paths between multiple masters and slaves in a system, thus increasing the overall bandwidth.

The MATRIX interconnects 15 masters to 12 slaves. The normal latency to connect a master to a slave is one cycle, except for the default master of the accessed slave which is connected directly (zero cycle latency).

The MATRIX user interface is compliant with the Arm Advanced Peripheral Bus.

14.3 Memory Mapping

The MATRIX provides one decoder for every master interface. The decoder offers each master several memory mappings. Each memory area can be assigned to several slaves. Booting at the same address while using different slaves (that is, external RAM, internal ROM or internal Flash, etc.) is possible.

14.4 Special Bus Granting Techniques

The MATRIX provides some speculative bus granting techniques in order to anticipate access requests from masters. Hence, latency is reduced at first access of a burst or, for a single transfer, as long as the slave is free from any other master access. It does not provide any benefit if the slave is continuously accessed by more than one master, since arbitration is pipelined and has no negative effect on the slave bandwidth or access latency.

This bus granting technique sets a different default master for every slave.

At the end of the current access, if no other request is pending, the slave remains connected to its associated default master. A slave can be associated with three kinds of default masters:

  • No default master
  • Last access master
  • Fixed default master

To change from one type of default master to another, the user interface provides Slave Configuration registers (MATRIX_SCFGx), one for every slave, which set a default master for each slave. MATRIX_SCFGx contain two fields to manage master selection: DEFMSTR_TYPE and FIXED_DEFMSTR. The 2-bit DEFMSTR_TYPE field selects the default master type (no default, last access master, fixed default master), whereas the 4-bit FIXED_DEFMSTR field selects a fixed default master provided that DEFMSTR_TYPE is set to fixed default master. Refer to Section 14.10.2 MATRIX Slave Configuration Registers.

14.5 No Default Master

After the end of the current access, if no other request is pending, the slave is disconnected from all masters.

This configuration incurs one latency clock cycle for the first access of a burst after bus Idle. Arbitration without default master may be used for masters that perform significant bursts or several transfers with no Idle cycle in-between, or if the slave bus bandwidth is widely used by one or more masters.

This configuration provides no benefit on access latency or bandwidth when reaching maximum slave bus throughput whatever the number of requesting masters.

14.6 Last Access Master

After the end of the current access, if no other request is pending, the slave remains connected to the last master that performed an access request.

This allows the MATRIX to remove the one latency cycle for the last master that accessed the slave. Other non-privileged masters still get one latency clock cycle if they need to access the same slave. This technique is useful for masters that mainly perform single accesses or short bursts with some Idle cycles in-between.

This configuration provides no benefit on access latency or bandwidth when reaching maximum slave bus throughput whatever is the number of requesting masters.

14.7 Fixed Default Master

After the end of the current access, if no other request is pending, the slave connects to its fixed default master. Unlike the last access master, the fixed default master does not change unless the user modifies it by software (FIXED_DEFMSTR field of the related MATRIX_SCFG).

This allows the MATRIX arbiters to remove the one latency clock cycle for the fixed default master of the slave. All requests attempted by the fixed default master do not cause any arbitration latency, whereas other non-privileged masters get one latency cycle. This technique is useful for a master that mainly performs single accesses or short bursts with Idle cycles in between.

This configuration provides no benefit on access latency or bandwidth when reaching maximum slave bus throughput, regardless of the number of requesting masters.

14.8 Arbitration

The MATRIX provides an arbitration technique that reduces latency when conflicts occur, i.e., when two or more masters try to access the same slave at the same time. One arbiter per slave is provided, thus arbitrating each slave specifically.

The user can choose between two arbitration types or mix them for each slave:

• Round-robin Arbitration (default)

• Fixed Priority Arbitration

The resulting algorithm may be complemented by selecting a default master configuration for each slave.

When re-arbitration must be done, specific conditions apply. See Section 14.8.1 Arbitration Scheduling.

14.8.1 Arbitration Scheduling

Each arbiter has the ability to arbitrate between two or more master requests. In order to avoid burst breaking and also to provide the maximum throughput for slave interfaces, arbitration may only take place during the following cycles:

  • Idle Cycles: When a slave is not connected to any master or is connected to a master which is not currently accessing it.
  • Single Cycles: When a slave is currently performing a single access.
  • End of Burst Cycles: When the current cycle is the last cycle of a burst transfer. For defined length burst, predicted end of burst matches the size of the transfer but is managed differently for undefined length burst. See Section 14.8.1.1 Undefined Length Burst Arbitration.
  • Slot Cycle Limit: When the slot cycle counter has reached the limit value indicating that the current master access is too long and must be broken. See Section 14.8.1.2 Slot Cycle Limit Arbitration.

14.8.1.1 Undefined Length Burst Arbitration

To prevent long burst lengths that can lock the access to the slave for an excessive period of time, the user can trigger the re-arbitration before the end of the incremental bursts. The rearbitration period can be selected from the following Undefined Length Burst Type (ULBT) possibilities:

  • Unlimited: no predetermined end of burst is generated. This value enables 1 Kbyte burst lengths.
  • 1-beat bursts: predetermined end of burst is generated at each single transfer during the INCR transfer.
  • 4-beat bursts: predetermined end of burst is generated at the end of each 4-beat boundary during INCR transfer.
  • 8-beat bursts: predetermined end of burst is generated at the end of each 8-beat boundary during INCR transfer.
  • 16-beat bursts: predetermined end of burst is generated at the end of each 16-beat boundary during INCR transfer.
    • 32-beat bursts: predetermined end of burst is generated at the end of each 32-beat boundary during INCR transfer.
  • 64-beat bursts: predetermined end of burst is generated at the end of each 64-beat boundary during INCR transfer.
    • 128-beat bursts: predetermined end of burst is generated at the end of each 128-beat boundary during INCR transfer.

The use of undefined length 8-beat bursts, or less, is discouraged since this may decrease the overall bus bandwidth due to arbitration and slave latencies at each first access of a burst.

Undefined-length bursts lower than 8 beats should not be used since this may decrease the overall bus bandwidth due to arbitration and slave latencies at each first access of a burst.

However, if the length of undefined-length bursts is known for a master, it is recommended to configure MATRIX_MCFG.ULBT accordingly.

14.8.1.2 Slot Cycle Limit Arbitration

The MATRIX contains specific logic to break long accesses, such as very long bursts on a very slow slave (e.g., an external low-speed memory). At each arbitration time, a counter is loaded with the value previously written in MATRIX_SCFGx.SLOT_CYCLE and decreased at each clock cycle. When the counter elapses, the arbiter has the ability to rearbitrate at the end of the current system bus access cycle.

Unless a master has a very tight access latency constraint, which could lead to data overflow or underflow due to a badly undersized internal FIFO with respect to its throughput, the Slot Cycle Limit should be disabled (SLOT_CYCLE = 0) or set to its default maximum value in order not to inefficiently break long bursts performed by some masters.

In most cases, this feature is not needed and should be disabled for power saving.

Warning: This feature cannot prevent any slave from locking its access indefinitely.

14.8.2 Arbitration Priority Scheme

The MATRIX arbitration scheme is organized in priority pools, each corresponding to an access criticality class as shown in the "Latency Quality of Service" column in the table below. When the Latency Quality of Service is enabled for a master-slave pair through the MATRIX, the priority pool number to use for arbitration at the slave port is determined from the master. When the Latency Quality of Service is disabled, it is determined through the MATRIX user interface. See Section 14.10.3 MATRIX Priority Registers A For Slaves.

After reset, the Latency Quality of Service is enabled by default on all of the master ports that are connected to a master driving the Latency Quality of Service signals, as shown in the bit LQOSEN of Section 14.10.3 MATRIX Priority Registers A For Slaves and Section 14.10.4 MATRIX Priority Registers B For Slaves.

Table 14-4: Arbitration Priority Pools

Priority pool LatencyQuality of Service
3Latency Critical
2Latency Sensitive
1Bandwidth Sensitive
0Background Transfers

Round-robin priority is used in the highest and lowest priority pools 3 and 0, whereas fixed level priority is used between priority pools and in the intermediate priority pools 2 and 1.

For each slave, each master is assigned to one of the slave priority pools based on the Latency Quality of Service inputs or to the priority registers for slaves (MxPR fields of MATRIX_PRAS and MATRIX_PRBS). When evaluating master requests, this priority pool level always takes precedence.

After reset, most of the masters belong to the lowest priority pool (MxPR = 0, Background Transfer) and are therefore granted bus access in a true round-robin order.

The highest priority pool must be specifically reserved for masters requiring very low access latency. If more than one master belongs to this pool, they will be granted bus access in a biased round-robin manner which allows tight and deterministic maximum access latency from system bus requests. In the worst case, any currently occurring high-priority master request is granted after the current bus master access has ended and any other high priority pool master requests, if any, have been granted once each.

The lowest priority pool shares the remaining bus bandwidth between masters.

Intermediate priority pools enable fine priority tuning. Typically, a latency-sensitive master or a bandwidth-sensitive master use such a priority level. The higher the priority level (MxPR value), the higher the master priority.

For optimized processor performance, it is recommended to configure processor priority with the default reset value 2 (Latency Sensitive).

All combinations of MxPR values are allowed for all masters and slaves. For example, some masters might be assigned the highest priority pool (round-robin), and remaining masters the lowest priority pool (round-robin), with no master for intermediate fixed priority levels.

14.8.2.1 Fixed Priority Arbitration

The fixed priority arbitration algorithm is the first and only arbitration algorithm applied between masters from distinct priority pools. It is also used in priority pools other than the highest and lowest priority pools (intermediate priority pools).

Fixed priority arbitration allows the MATRIX arbiters to dispatch the requests from different masters to the same slave by using the fixed priority defined by the user in the MxPR field for each master in the registers MATRIX_PRAS and MATRIX_PRBS. If two or more master requests are active at the same time, the master with the highest priority MxPR number is serviced first.

In intermediate priority pools, if two or more master requests with the same priority are active at the same time, the master with the highest number is serviced first.

14.8.2.2 Round-Robin Arbitration

This algorithm is only used in the highest and lowest priority pools. It allows the MATRIX arbiters to properly dispatch requests from different masters to the same slave. If two or more master requests are active at the same time in the priority pool, they are serviced in a round-robin increasing master number order.

14.9 Register Write Protection

To prevent any single software error from corrupting MATRIX behavior, certain registers in the address space can be write-protected by setting the WPEN bit in the MATRIX Write Protection Mode Register (MATRIX_WPMR).

If a write access to a write-protected register is detected, the WPVS flag in the MATRIX Write Protection Status Register (MATRIX_WPSR) is set and the field WPVSRC indicates the register in which the write access has been attempted.

The WPVS flag is reset by writing the MATRIX_WPMR with the appropriate access key WPKEY.

The following registers can be write-protected:

• MATRIX Master Configuration Registers
• MATRIX Slave Configuration Registers
• MATRIX Priority Registers A For Slaves
• MATRIX Priority Registers B For Slaves
• MATRIX Master Remap Control Register

ULBT: Undefined Length Burst Type

ValueName Description
0UNLIMITEDUnlimited Length Burst—No predicted end of burst is generated, therefore INCR bursts coming from this master can only be broken if the Slave Slot Cycle Limit is reached. If the Slot Cycle Limit is not reached, the burst is normally completed by the master, at the latest, on the next system bus 1 Kbyte address boundary, allowing up to 256-beat word bursts or 128-beat double-word bursts.This value should not be used in the very particular case of a master capable of performing back-to-back undefined length bursts on a single slave, since this could indefinitely freeze the slave arbitration and thus prevent another master from accessing this slave.
1SINGLESingle Access—The undefined length burst is treated as a succession of single accesses, allowing re-arbitration at each beat of the INCR burst or bursts sequence.
24_BEAT4-beat Burst—The undefined length burst or bursts sequence is split into 4-beat bursts or less, allowing re-arbitration every 4 beats.
38_BEAT8-beat Burst—The undefined length burst or bursts sequence is split into 8-beat bursts or less, allowing re-arbitration every 8 beats.
416_BEAT16-beat Burst—The undefined length burst or bursts sequence is split into 16-beat bursts or less, allowing re-arbitration every 16 beats.
532_BEAT32-beat Burst—The undefined length burst or bursts sequence is split into 32-beat bursts or less, allowing re-arbitration every 32 beats.
664_BEAT64-beat Burst—The undefined length burst or bursts sequence is split into 64-beat bursts or less, allowing re-arbitration every 64 beats.
7128_BEAT128-beat Burst—The undefined length burst or bursts sequence is split into 128-beat bursts or less, allowing re-arbitration every 128 beats.Unless duly needed, the ULBT should be left at its default 0 value for power saving.

SLOT_CYCLE

This register can only be written if the WPEN bit is cleared in the MATRIX Write Protection Mode Register.

SLOT\_CYCLE: Maximum Bus Grant Duration for Masters

When SLOT_CYCLE system bus clock cycles have elapsed since the last arbitration, a new arbitration takes place to let another master access this slave. If another master is requesting the slave bus, then the current master burst is broken.

If SLOT_CYCLE = 0, the Slot Cycle Limit feature is disabled and bursts always complete unless broken according to the ULBT.

This limit has been placed in order to enforce arbitration so as to meet potential latency constraints of masters waiting for slave access.

This limit must not be too small. Unreasonably small values break every burst and the MATRIX arbitrates without performing any data transfer. The default maximum value is usually an optimal conservative choice.

In most cases, this feature is not needed and should be disabled for power saving.

See Section 14.8.1.2 Slot Cycle Limit Arbitration for details.

DEFMSTR_TYPE: Default Master Type

ValueName Description
0NONENo Default Master—At the end of the current slave access, if no other master request is pending, the slave is disconnected from all masters.This results in a one clock cycle latency for the first access of a burst transfer or for a single access.
1LASTLast Default Master—At the end of the current slave access, if no other master request is pending, the slave stays connected to the last master having accessed it.This results in not having one clock cycle latency when the last master tries to access the slave again.
2FIXEDFixed Default Master—At the end of the current slave access, if no other master request is pending, the slave connects to the fixed master the number that has been written in the FIXED_DEFMSTR field.This results in not having one clock cycle latency when the fixed master tries to access the slave again.

FIXED\_DEFMSTR: Fixed Default Master

This is the number of the Default Master for this slave. Only used if DEFMSTR_TYPE is 2. Specifying the number of a master which is not connected to the selected slave is equivalent to setting DEFMSTR_TYPE to 0.

16. Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC)

16.1 Description

The Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC) is an 8-level priority, individually maskable, vectored interrupt controller providing handling of up to one hundred and twenty-eight interrupt sources. It is designed to substantially reduce the software and real-time overhead in handling internal and external interrupts.

The AIC drives the nFIQ (fast interrupt request) and the nIRQ (standard interrupt request) inputs of an ARM processor. Inputs of the AIC are either internal peripheral interrupts or external interrupts coming from the product's pins.

The 8-level Priority Controller allows the user to define the priority for each interrupt source, thus permitting higher priority interrupts to be serviced even if a lower priority interrupt is being processed.

Internal interrupt sources can be programmed to be level-sensitive or edge-triggered. External interrupt sources can be programmed to be positive-edge or negative-edge triggered or high-level or low-level sensitive.

The fast-forcing feature redirects any internal or external interrupt source to provide a fast interrupt rather than a normal interrupt.

16.2 Embedded Characteristics

  • Controls the Interrupt Lines (nIRQ and nFIQ) of an ARM Processor
    • 128 Individually Maskable and Vectored Interrupt Sources

16.7 Product Dependencies

16.7.1 I/O Lines

The interrupt signals FIQ and IRQ0 to IRQn are normally multiplexed through the PIO controllers. Depending on the features of the PIO controller used in the product, the pins must be programmed in accordance with their assigned interrupt functions. This is not applicable when the PIO controller used in the product is transparent on the input path.

Instance Signal I/O Line Peripheral
AIC FIQ PC31A
AICIRQPE31A

16.7.2 Power Management

The Advanced Interrupt Controller is continuously clocked. The Power Management Controller has no effect on the Advanced Interrupt Controller behavior.

The assertion of the Advanced Interrupt Controller outputs, either nIRQ or nFIQ, wakes up the ARM processor while it is in Idle mode. The General Interrupt Mask feature enables the AIC to wake up the processor without asserting the interrupt line of the processor, thus providing synchronization of the processor on an event.

16.7.3 Interrupt Sources

Interrupt Source 0 is always located at FIQ. If the product does not feature any FIQ pin, Interrupt Source 0 cannot be used.

Interrupt Source 1 is always located at System Interrupt. This is the result of the OR-wiring of the system peripheral interrupt lines. When a system interrupt occurs, the service routine must first distinguish the cause of the interrupt. This is performed by reading successively the status registers of the above-mentioned system peripherals.

Interrupt sources 2 to 127 can either be connected to the interrupt outputs of an embedded user peripheral, or to external interrupt lines. The external interrupt lines can be connected either directly or through the PIO Controller.

PIO controllers are considered as user peripherals in the scope of interrupt handling. Accordingly, the PIO controller interrupt lines are connected to interrupt sources 2 to 127.

The peripheral identification defined at the product level corresponds to the interrupt source number (as well as the bit number controlling the clock of the peripheral). Consequently, to simplify the description of the functional operations and the user interface, the interrupt sources are named FIQ, SYS, and PID2 to PID127.

16.8 Functional Description

16.8.1 Interrupt Source Control

16.8.1.1 Interrupt Source Mode

The Advanced Interrupt Controller independently programs each interrupt source. The SRCTYPE field of the Source Mode Register (AIC_SMR) selects the interrupt condition of the interrupt source selected by the INTSEL field of the Source Select Register (AIC_SSR).

Note: Configuration registers such as AIC_SMR and AIC_SSR return the values corresponding to the interrupt source selected by INTSEL.

The internal interrupt sources wired on the interrupt outputs of the embedded peripherals can be programmed either in Level-Sensitive mode or in Edge-Triggered mode. The active level of the internal interrupts is not important for the user.

The external interrupt sources can be programmed either in High Level-Sensitive or Low Level-Sensitive modes, or in Positive Edge-Triggered or Negative Edge-Triggered modes.

16.8.1.2 Interrupt Source Enabling

Each interrupt source, including the FIQ in source 0, can be enabled or disabled by using the command registers Interrupt Enable Command Register (AIC_IECR) and Interrupt Disable Command Register (AIC_IDCR). The interrupt mask of the selected interrupt source can be read in the Interrupt Mask Register (AIC_IMR). A disabled interrupt does not affect servicing of other interrupts.

16.8.1.3 Interrupt Clearing and Setting

All interrupt sources programmed to be edge-triggered (including the FIQ in source 0) can be individually set or cleared by writing respectively the Interrupt Set Command Register (AIC_ISCR) and Interrupt Clear Command Register (AIC_ICCR). Clearing or setting interrupt sources programmed in Level-Sensitive mode has no effect.

The clear operation is perfunctory, as the software must perform an action to reset the "memorization" circuitry activated when the source is programmed in Edge-Triggered mode. However, the set operation is available for auto-test or software debug purposes. It can also be used to execute an AIC-implementation of a software interrupt.

The AIC features an automatic clear of the current interrupt when AIC_IVR (Interrupt Vector Register) is read. Only the interrupt source being detected by the AIC as the current interrupt is affected by this operation. (See Section 16.8.3.1 Priority Controller.) The automatic clear reduces the operations required by the interrupt service routine entry code to read AIC_IVR. Note that the automatic interrupt clear is disabled if the interrupt source has the Fast Forcing feature enabled, as it is considered uniquely as an FIQ source. (For further details, see Section 16.8.4.4 Fast Forcing).

The automatic clear of interrupt source 0 is performed when AIC_FVR is read.

16.8.1.4 Interrupt Status

Interrupt Pending Registers (AIC_IPR) represent the state of the interrupt lines, whether they are masked or not. AIC_IMR can be used to define the mask of the interrupt lines.

The Interrupt Status Register (AIC_ISR) reads the number of the current interrupt (see Section 16.8.3.1 Priority Controller) and the Core Interrupt Status Register (AIC_CISR) gives an image of the nIRQ and nFIQ signals driven on the processor.

Each status referred to above can be used to optimize the interrupt handling of the systems.

16.8.2 Interrupt Latencies

Global interrupt latencies depend on several parameters, including:

• The time the software masks the interrupts
- Occurrence, either at the processor level or at the AIC level
- The execution time of the instruction in progress when the interrupt occurs
- The treatment of higher priority interrupts and the resynchronization of the hardware signals

This section addresses hardware resynchronizations only. It gives details about the latency times between the events on an external interrupt leading to a valid interrupt (edge or level) or the assertion of an internal interrupt source and the assertion of the nIRQ or nFIQ line on the processor. The resynchronization time depends on the programming of the interrupt source and on its type (internal or external). For the standard interrupt, resynchronization times are given assuming there is no higher priority in progress.

The PIO Controller multiplexing has no effect on the interrupt latencies of the external interrupt sources.

16.8.3 Normal Interrupt

16.8.3.1 Priority Controller

An 8-level priority controller drives the nIRQ line of the processor, depending on the interrupt conditions occurring on the interrupt sources 1 to 127 (except for those programmed in Fast Forcing).

Each interrupt source has a programmable priority level of 7 to 0, which is user-definable by writing the PRIOR field of AIC_SMR (Source Mode Register). Level 7 is the highest priority and level 0 the lowest.

As soon as an interrupt condition occurs, as defined by the SRCTYPE field in AIC_SMR (Source Mode Register), the nIRQ line is asserted. As a new interrupt condition might have happened on other interrupt sources since the nIRQ has been asserted, the priority controller determines the current interrupt at the time AIC_IVR (Interrupt Vector Register) is read. The read of AIC_IVR is the entry point of the interrupt handling which allows the AIC to consider that the interrupt has been taken into account by the software.

The current priority level is defined as the priority level of the current interrupt.

If several interrupt sources of equal priority are pending and enabled when AIC_IVR is read, the interrupt with the lowest interrupt source number is serviced first.

The nIRQ line can be asserted only if an interrupt condition occurs on an interrupt source with a higher priority. If an interrupt condition happens (or is pending) during the interrupt treatment in progress, it is delayed until the software indicates to the AIC the end of the current service by writing AIC_EOICR (End of Interrupt Command Register). The write of AIC_EOICR is the exit point of the interrupt handling.

16.8.3.2 Interrupt Nesting

The priority controller utilizes interrupt nesting in order for the high priority interrupt to be handled during the service of lower priority interrupts. This requires the interrupt service routines of the lower interrupts to re-enable the interrupt at the processor level.

When an interrupt of a higher priority happens during an already occurring interrupt service routine, the nIRQ line is re-asserted. If the interrupt is enabled at the core level, the current execution is interrupted and the new interrupt service routine should read AIC_IVR. At this time, the current interrupt number and its priority level are pushed into an embedded hardware stack, so that they are saved and restored when the higher priority interrupt servicing is finished and AIC_EOICR is written.

The AIC is equipped with an 8-level wide hardware stack in order to support up to eight interrupt nestings to match the eight priority levels.

16.8.3.3 Interrupt Handlers

This section gives an overview of the fast interrupt handling sequence when using the AIC. It is assumed that the programmer understands the architecture of the ARM processor, and especially the Processor Interrupt modes and the associated status bits.

It is assumed that:

  1. The Advanced Interrupt Controller has been programmed, AIC_SVR registers are loaded with corresponding interrupt service routine addresses and interrupts are enabled.
  2. The instruction at the ARM interrupt exception vector address is required to work with the vectoring. Load the PC with the absolute address of the interrupt handler.

When nIRQ is asserted, if the bit "I" of CPSR is 0, the sequence is as follows:

  1. The CPSR is stored in SPSR_irq, the current value of the Program Counter is loaded in the Interrupt link register (R14_irq) and the Program Counter (R15) is loaded with 0x18. In the following cycle during fetch at address 0x1C, the ARM core adjusts R14_irq, decrementing it by four.

  2. The ARM core enters Interrupt mode, if it has not already done so.

  3. When the instruction loaded at address 0x18 is executed, the program counter is loaded with the value read in AIC_IVR. Reading AIC_IVR has the following effects:

  4. Sets the current interrupt to be the pending and enabled interrupt with the highest priority. The current level is the priority level of the current interrupt.

  5. De-asserts the nIRQ line on the processor. Even if vectoring is not used, AIC_IVR must be read in order to de-assert nIRQ.
  6. Automatically clears the interrupt, if it has been programmed to be edge-triggered.
  7. Pushes the current level and the current interrupt number on to the stack.
  8. Returns the value written in AIC_SVR corresponding to the current interrupt.

  9. The previous step has the effect of branching to the corresponding interrupt service routine. This should start by saving the link register (R14_irq) and SPSR_IRQ. The link register must be decremented by four when it is saved if it is to be restored directly into the program counter at the end of the interrupt. For example, the instruction SUB PC, LR, #4 may be used.

  10. Further interrupts can then be unmasked by clearing the "I" bit in CPSR, allowing re-assertion of the nIRQ to be taken into account by the core. This can happen if an interrupt with a higher priority than the current interrupt occurs.

  11. The interrupt handler can then proceed as required, saving the registers that will be used and restoring them at the end. During this

phase, an interrupt of higher priority than the current level will restart the sequence from step 1.

Note: If the interrupt is programmed to be level-sensitive, the source of the interrupt must be cleared during this phase.

  1. The "I" bit in CPSR must be set in order to mask interrupts before exiting to ensure that the interrupt is completed in an orderly manner.

  2. The End of Interrupt Command Register (AIC_EOICR) must be written in order to indicate to the AIC that the current interrupt is finished. This causes the current level to be popped from the stack, restoring the previous current level if one exists on the stack. If another interrupt is pending, with lower or equal priority than the old current level but with higher priority than the new current level, the nIRQ line is re-asserted, but the interrupt sequence does not immediately start because the "I" bit is set in the core. SPSR_irq is restored. Finally, the saved value of the link register is restored directly into the PC. This has the effect of returning from the interrupt to whatever was being executed before, and of loading the CPSR with the stored SPSR, masking or unmasking the interrupts depending on the state saved in SPSR_irq.

Note: The "I" bit in SPSR is significant. If it is set, it indicates that the ARM core was on the verge of masking an interrupt when the mask instruction was interrupted. Hence, when SPSR is restored, the mask instruction is completed (interrupt is masked).

16.8.4 Fast Interrupt

16.8.4.1 Fast Interrupt Source

Interrupt source 0 is the only source which can raise a fast interrupt request to the processor except if fast forcing is used. Interrupt source 0 is generally connected to a FIQ pin of the product, either directly or through a PIO Controller.

16.8.4.2 Fast Interrupt Control

The fast interrupt logic of the AIC has no priority controller. The mode of interrupt source 0 is programmed with AIC_SMR and INTSEL = 0; the PRIOR field of this register is not used even if it reads what has been written. The SRCTYPE field of AIC_SMR enables programming the fast interrupt source to be positive-edge triggered or negative-edge triggered or high-level sensitive or low-level sensitive.

Writing 0x1 in AIC_IECR (Interrupt Enable Command Register) and AIC_IDCR (Interrupt Disable Command Register) respectively enables and disables the fast interrupt when INTSEL = 0. Bit 0 of AIC_IMR indicates whether the fast interrupt is enabled or disabled.

16.8.4.3 Fast Interrupt Handlers

This section gives an overview of the fast interrupt handling sequence when using the AIC. It is assumed that the programmer understands the architecture of the ARM processor, and especially the Processor Interrupt modes and associated status bits.

Assuming that:

  1. The Advanced Interrupt Controller has been programmed, AIC_SVR is loaded with the fast interrupt service routine address, and interrupt source 0 is enabled.
  2. The Instruction at address 0x1C (FIQ exception vector address) is required to vector the fast interrupt. Load the PC with the absolute address of the interrupt handler.
  3. The user does not need nested fast interrupts.

When nFIQ is asserted, if bit "F" of CPSR is 0, the sequence is:

  1. The CPSR is stored in SPSR_fiq, the current value of the program counter is loaded in the FIQ link register (R14_FIQ) and the program counter (R15) is loaded with 0x1C. In the following cycle, during fetch at address 0x20, the ARM core adjusts R14_fiq, decrementing it by four.
  2. The ARM core enters FIQ mode.

When the instruction loaded at address 0x1C is executed, the program counter is loaded with the value read in AIC_FVR. Reading AIC_FVR has the effect of automatically clearing the fast interrupt, if it has been programmed to be edge-triggered. In this case only, it de-asserts the nFIQ line on the processor.

  1. The previous step enables branching to the corresponding interrupt service routine. It is not necessary to save the link register R14_fiq and SPSR_fiq if nested fast interrupts are not needed.
  2. The Interrupt Handler can then proceed as required. It is not necessary to save registers R8 to R13 because the FIQ mode has its own dedicated registers and registers R8 to R13 are banked. The other registers, R0 to R7, must be saved before being used, and restored at the end (before the next step).

Note: If the fast interrupt is programmed to be level-sensitive, the source of the interrupt must be cleared during this phase in order to de-assert interrupt source 0.

  1. Finally, Link Register R14_fiq is restored into the PC after decrementing it by four (with instruction SUB PC, LR, #4 for example). This has the effect of returning from the interrupt to whatever was being executed before, loading the CPSR with the SPSR and masking or unmasking the fast interrupt depending on the state saved in the SPSR.

Note: The "F" bit in SPSR is significant. If it is set, it indicates that the ARM core was just about to mask FIQ interrupts when the mask instruction was interrupted. Hence, when the SPSR is restored, the interrupted instruction is completed (FIQ is masked).

Another way to handle the fast interrupt is to map the interrupt service routine at the address of the ARM vector 0x1C. This method does not use vectoring, so that reading AIC_FVR must be performed at the very beginning of the handler operation. However, this method saves the execution of a branch instruction.

16.8.4.4 Fast Forcing

The Fast Forcing feature of the advanced interrupt controller provides redirection of any normal Interrupt source on the fast interrupt controller.

Fast Forcing is enabled or disabled by writing to the Fast Forcing Enable Register (AIC_FFER) and the Fast Forcing Disable Register (AIC_FFDR). Writing to these registers results in an update of the Fast Forcing Status Register (AIC_FFSR) that controls the feature for each internal or external interrupt source.

When Fast Forcing is disabled, the interrupt sources are handled as described in the previous sections.

When Fast Forcing is enabled, the edge/level programming and, in certain cases, edge detection of the interrupt source is still active but the source cannot trigger a normal interrupt to the processor and is not seen by the priority handler.

If the interrupt source is programmed in Level-Sensitive mode and an active level is sampled, Fast Forcing results in the assertion of the nFIQ line to the core.

If the interrupt source is programmed in Edge-Triggered mode and an active edge is detected, Fast Forcing results in the assertion of the nFIQ line to the core.

The Fast Forcing feature does not affect the Source 0 pending bit in AIC_IPR.

The FIQ Vector Register (AIC_FVR) reads the contents of Source Vector Register 0 (AIC_SVR0), whatever the source of the fast interrupt may be. The read of the FVR does not clear Source 0 when the fast forcing feature is used and the interrupt source should be cleared by writing to AIC_ICCR.

All enabled and pending interrupt sources that have the fast forcing feature enabled and that are programmed in Edge-Triggered mode must be cleared by writing to the Interrupt Clear Command Register. In doing so, they are cleared independently and thus lost interrupts are prevented.

The read of AIC_IVR does not clear the source that has the fast forcing feature enabled.

Source 0, reserved to the fast interrupt, continues operating normally and becomes one of the Fast Interrupt sources.

16.8.5 Protect Mode

The Protect mode is used to read the Interrupt Vector Register without performing the associated automatic operations. This is necessary when working with a debug system. When a debugger, working either with a Debug Monitor or the ARM processor's ICE, stops the applications and updates the opened windows, it might read the AIC User Interface and thus the IVR. This has adverse consequences:

  • If an enabled interrupt with a higher priority than the current one is pending, it is stacked.
  • If there is no enabled pending interrupt, the spurious vector is returned.

In either case, an End of Interrupt command is necessary to acknowledge and restore the context of the AIC. This operation is generally not performed by the debug system, as the debug system would become strongly intrusive and cause the application to enter an undesired state.

This is avoided by using the Protect mode. Writing PROT in AIC_DCR (Debug Control Register) at 0x1 enables the Protect mode.

When the Protect mode is enabled, the AIC performs interrupt stacking only when a write access is performed on AIC_IVR. Therefore, the Interrupt Service Routines must write (arbitrary data) to AIC_IVR just after reading it. The new context of the AIC, including the value of AIC_ISR, is updated with the current interrupt only when AIC_IVR is written.

An AIC_IVR read on its own (e.g., by a debugger) modifies neither the AIC context nor AIC_ISR. Extra AIC_IVR reads perform the same operations. However, it is recommended to not stop the processor between the read and the write of AIC_IVR of the interrupt service routine to make sure the debugger does not modify the AIC context.

To summarize, in normal operating mode, the read of AIC_IVR performs the following operations within the AIC:

  1. Calculates active interrupt (higher than current or spurious).
  2. Determines and returns the vector of the active interrupt.
  3. Memorizes the interrupt.
  4. Pushes the current priority level onto the internal stack.
  5. Acknowledges the interrupt.

However, while the Protect mode is activated, only operations 1 to 3 are performed when AIC_IVR is read. Operations 4 and 5 are only performed by the AIC when AIC_IVR is written.

Software that has been written and debugged using the Protect mode runs correctly in normal mode without modification. However, in normal mode, the AIC_IVR write has no effect and can be removed to optimize the code.

16.8.6 Spurious Interrupt

The Advanced Interrupt Controller features a protection against spurious interrupts. A spurious interrupt is defined as being the assertion of an interrupt source long enough for the AIC to assert the nIRQ, but no longer present when AIC_IVR is read. This is most prone to occur when:

  • An external interrupt source is programmed in Level-Sensitive mode and an active level occurs for only a short time.
  • An internal interrupt source is programmed in level-sensitive and the output signal of the corresponding embedded peripheral is activated for a short time (as is the case for the watchdog).
  • An interrupt occurs just a few cycles before the software begins to mask it, thus resulting in a pulse on the interrupt source.

The AIC detects a spurious interrupt at the time AIC_IVR is read while no enabled interrupt source is pending. When this happens, the AIC returns the value stored by the programmer in the Spurious Vector Register (AIC_SPU). The programmer must store the address of a spurious interrupt handler in AIC_SPU as part of the application, to enable an as fast as possible return to the normal execution flow. This handler writes in AIC_EOICR and performs a return from interrupt.

16.8.7 General Interrupt Mask

The AIC features a General Interrupt Mask bit (GMSK in AIC_DCR) to prevent interrupts from reaching the processor. Both the nIRQ and the nFIQ lines are driven to their inactive state if the GMSK is set. However, this mask does not prevent waking up the processor if it has entered Idle mode. This function facilitates synchronizing the processor on a next event and, as soon as the event occurs, performs subsequent operations without having to handle an interrupt. It is strongly recommended to use this mask with caution.

16.8.8 Register Write Protection

To prevent any single software error from corrupting AIC behavior, certain registers in the address space can be write-protected by setting the WPEN bit in the AIC Write Protection Mode Register (AIC_WPMR).

If a write access to a write-protected register is detected, the WPVS flag in the AIC Write Protection Status Register (AIC_WPSR) is set and the field WPVSRC indicates the register in which the write access has been attempted.

The WPVS bit is automatically cleared after reading AIC_WPSR.

The following registers can be write-protected:

• AIC Source Mode Register
• AIC Source Vector Register
• AIC Spurious Interrupt Vector Register
• AIC Debug Control Register

17. Watchdog Timer (WDT)

17.1 Description

The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is used to prevent system lock-up if the software becomes trapped in a deadlock. It features a 12-bit down counter that allows a watchdog period of up to 16 seconds (slow clock around 32 kHz). It can generate a general reset or a processor reset only. In addition, it can be stopped while the processor is in Debug mode or Sleep mode (Idle mode).

17.2 Embedded Characteristics

• 12-bit Key-protected Programmable Counter
- Watchdog Clock is Independent from Processor Clock
- Provides Reset or Interrupt Signals to the System
- Counter May Be Stopped while the Processor is in Debug State or in Idle Mode

17.4 Functional Description

The Watchdog Timer is used to prevent system lock-up if the software becomes trapped in a deadlock. It is supplied with VDDCORE. It restarts with initial values on processor reset.

The watchdog is built around a 12-bit down counter, which is loaded with the value defined in the field WDV of the Mode register (WDT_MR). The Watchdog Timer uses the slow clock divided by 128 to establish the maximum watchdog period to be 16 seconds (with a typical slow clock of 32.768 kHz).

After a processor reset, the value of WDV is 0xFFFF, corresponding to the maximum value of the counter with the external reset generation enabled (field WDRSTEN at 1 after a backup reset). This means that a default watchdog is running at reset, i.e., at power-up. The user can either disable the WDT by setting bit WDT_MR.WDDIS or reprogram the WDT to meet the maximum watchdog period the application requires.

When setting the WDDIS bit, and while it is set, the fields WDV and WDD must not be modified.

If the watchdog is restarted by writing into the Control register (WDT_CR), WDT_MR must not be programmed during a period of time of three slow clock periods following the WDT_CR write access. In any case, programming a new value in WDT_MR automatically initiates a restart instruction.

WDT_MR can be written only once. Only a processor reset resets it. Writing WDT_MR reloads the timer with the newly programmed mode parameters.

In normal operation, the user reloads the watchdog at regular intervals before the timer underflow occurs, by setting bit WDT_CR.WDRSTT. The watchdog counter is then immediately reloaded from WDT_MR and restarted, and the slow clock 128 divider is reset and restarted. WDT_CR is write-protected. As a result, writing WDT_CR without the correct hard-coded key has no effect. If an underflow does occur, the "wdt_fault" signal to the Reset Controller is asserted if bit WDT_MR.WDRSTEN is set. Moreover, the bit WDUNF is set in the Status register (WDT_SR).

To prevent a software deadlock that continuously triggers the watchdog, the reload of the watchdog must occur while the watchdog counter is within a window between 0 and WDD. WDD is defined in WDT_MR.

Any attempt to restart the watchdog while the watchdog counter is between WDV and WDD results in a watchdog error, even if the watchdog is disabled. The bit WDT_SR.WDERR is updated and the "wdt_fault" signal to the Reset Controller is asserted.

Note that this feature can be disabled by programming a WDD value greater than or equal to the WDV value. In such a configuration, restarting the Watchdog Timer is permitted in the whole range [0; WDV] and does not generate an error. This is the default configuration on reset (the WDD and WDV values are equal).

The status bits WDUNF (Watchdog Underflow) and WDERR (Watchdog Error) trigger an interrupt, provided the bit WDT_MR.WDFIEN is set. The signal "wdt_fault" to the Reset Controller causes a watchdog reset if the WDRSTEN bit is set as already explained in the Reset Controller documentation. In this case, the processor and the Watchdog Timer are reset, and the WDERR and WDUNF flags are reset.

If a reset is generated or if WDT_SR is read, the status bits are reset, the interrupt is cleared, and the "wdt_fault" signal to the reset controller is deasserted.

Writing WDT_MR reloads and restarts the down counter.

While the processor is in debug state or in Sleep mode, the counter may be stopped depending on the value programmed for the bits WDIDLEHLT and WDDBGHLT in WDT_MR.

18.4 Functional Description

18.4.1 Reset Controller Overview

The Reset Controller is made up of an NRST Manager, a Startup Counter and a Reset State Manager. It runs at Slow Clock and generates the following reset signals:

  • proc_nreset: Processor reset line. It also resets the Watchdog Timer.
  • backup_nreset: Affects all the peripherals powered by VDDBU.
  • periph_nreset: Affects the whole set of embedded peripherals.
  • nrst_out: Drives the NRST pin.

These reset signals are asserted by the Reset Controller, either on external events or on software action. The Reset State Manager controls the generation of reset signals and provides a signal to the NRST Manager when an assertion of the NRST pin is required.

The NRST Manager shapes the NRST assertion during a programmable time, thus controlling external device resets.

The startup counter waits for the complete crystal oscillator startup. The wait delay is given by the crystal oscillator startup time maximum value that can be found in the section "Crystal Oscillator Characteristics" in the "Electrical Characteristics" section of the product datasheet.

The Mode register (RSTC_MR), used to configure the reset controller, is powered with VDDBU, so that its configuration is saved as long as VDDBU is on.

18.4.2 NRST Manager

After power-up, NRST is an output during the External Reset Length (ERSTL) time defined in the RSTC. When the ERSTL time has elapsed, the pin behaves as an input and all the system is held in reset if NRST is tied to GND by an external signal.

The NRST Manager samples the NRST input pin and drives this pin low when required by the Reset State Manager. Figure 18-2 shows the block diagram of the NRST Manager.

18.4.2.1 NRST Signal

The NRST Manager handles the NRST input line asynchronously. When the line is low, a User Reset is immediately reported to the Reset State Manager. When the NRST goes from low to high, the internal reset is synchronized with the Slow Clock to provide a safe internal de-assertion of reset.

The level of the pin NRST can be read at any time in the bit NRSTL (NRST level) in the Status register (RSTC_SR). As soon as the pin NRST is asserted, the bit URSTS in the RSTC_SR is set. This bit clears only when RSTC_SR is read.

18.4.2.2 NRST External Reset Control

The Reset State Manager asserts the signal ext_nreset to assert the NRST pin. When this occurs, the "nrst_out" signal is driven low by the NRST Manager for a time programmed by the field ERSTL in the RSTC_MR. This assertion duration, named EXTERNAL_RESET_LENGTH, lasts 2^(ERSTL+1) Slow Clock cycles. This gives the approximate duration of an assertion between 60 s and 2 seconds. Note that ERSTL at 0 defines a two-cycle duration for the NRST pulse.

This feature allows the reset controller to shape the NRST pin level, and thus to ensure that the NRST line is driven low for a time compliant with potential external devices connected on the system reset.

As the field is within RSTC_MR, which is backed-up, this field can be used to shape the system power-up reset for devices requiring a longer startup time than the Slow Clock Oscillator.

18.4.3 BMS Sampling

The product matrix manages a boot memory that depends on the level on the BMS pin at reset. The BMS signal is sampled three slow clock cycles after the Core Power-on Reset output rising edge.

Microchip ATSAMA5D33 - BMS Sampling - 1

text_image SLCK Core Supply POR output BMS Signal XXX H or L BMS sampling delay = 3 cycles proc_nreset

18.4.4 Reset States

The Reset State Manager handles the different reset sources and generates the internal reset signals. It reports the reset status in the field RSTTYP of the RSTC_SR. The update of the field RSTTYP is performed when the processor reset is released.

18.4.4.1 General Reset

A general reset occurs when VDDBU and VDDCORE are powered on. The backup supply POR cell output rises and is filtered with a Startup Counter, which operates at Slow Clock. The purpose of this counter is to make sure the Slow Clock oscillator is stable before starting up the device. The length of startup time is hardcoded to comply with the Slow Clock Oscillator startup time.

After this time, the processor clock is released at Slow Clock and all the other signals remain valid for 3 cycles for proper processor and logic reset. Then, all the reset signals are released and the field RSTTYP in the RSTC_SR reports a General Reset. As the RSTC_MR is reset, the NRST line rises two cycles after the backup_nreset, as ERSTL defaults at value 0x0.

When VDDBU is detected low by the backup supply POR cell, all resets signals are immediately asserted, even if the main supply POR cell does not report a main supply shutdown.

VDDBU only activates the backup_nreset signal.

The backup_nreset must be released so that any other reset can be generated by VDDCORE (main supply POR output).

Figure 18-4 shows how the General Reset affects the reset signals.

18.4.4.2 Wake-up Reset

The wake-up reset occurs when the main supply is down. When the main supply POR output is active, all the reset signals are asserted except backup_nreset. When the main supply powers up, the POR output is resynchronized on Slow Clock. The processor clock is then re-enabled during 3 Slow Clock cycles, depending on the requirements of the ARM processor.

At the end of this delay, the processor and other reset signals rise. The field RSTTYP in the RSTC_SR is updated to report a wake-up reset.

The "nrst_out" remains asserted for EXTERNAL_RESET_LENGTH cycles. As RSTC_MR is backed-up, the programmed number of cycles is applicable.

When the main supply is detected falling, the reset signals are immediately asserted. This transition is synchronous with the output of the main supply POR.

18.4.4.3 User Reset

The User Reset is entered when a low level is detected on the NRST pin. When a falling edge occurs on NRST (reset activation), internal reset lines are immediately asserted.

The Processor Reset and the Peripheral Reset are asserted.

The User Reset is left when NRST rises, after a two-cycle resynchronization time and a 3-cycle processor startup. The processor clock is re-enabled as soon as NRST is confirmed high.

When the processor reset signal is released, the RSTTYP field of the RSTC_SR is loaded with the value 0x4, indicating a User Reset.

The NRST Manager ensures that the NRST line is asserted for EXTERNAL_RESET_LENGTH Slow Clock cycles, as programmed in the field ERSTL. However, if NRST does not rise after EXTERNAL_RESET_LENGTH because it is driven low externally, the internal reset lines remain asserted until NRST actually rises.

18.4.4.4 Software Reset

The Reset Controller offers several commands used to assert the different reset signals. These commands are performed by writing the Control register (RSTC_CR) with the following bits at 1:

• PROCRST: Writing a 1 to PROCRST resets the processor and the watchdog timer.
- PERRST: Writing a 1 to PERRST resets all the embedded peripherals, including the memory system, and, in particular, the Remap Command. The Peripheral Reset is generally used for debug purposes.
PERRST must always be used in conjunction with PROCRST (PERRST and PROCRST bot set to 1 simultaneously.)
- EXTRST: Writing a 1 to EXTRST asserts low the NRST pin during a time defined by the field ERSTL in the Mode register (RSTC_MR).

The software reset is entered if at least one of these bits is set by the software. All these commands can be performed independently or simultaneously. The software reset lasts 3 Slow Clock cycles.

The internal reset signals are asserted as soon as the register write is performed. This is detected on the Master Clock (MCK). They are released when the software reset is left, i.e., synchronously to SLCK.

If EXTRST is set, the nrst_out signal is asserted depending on the programming of the field ERSTL. However, the resulting falling edge on NRST does not lead to a User Reset.

If and only if the PROCRST bit is set, the reset controller reports the software status in the field RSTTYP of the RSTC_SR. Other software resets are not reported in RSTTYP.

As soon as a software operation is detected, the bit SRCMP (Software Reset Command in Progress) is set in the RSTC_SR. It is cleared as soon as the software reset is left. No other software reset can be performed while the SRCMP bit is set, and writing any value in the RSTC_CR has no effect.

18.4.4.5 Watchdog Reset

The Watchdog Reset is entered when a watchdog fault occurs. This state lasts 3 Slow Clock cycles.

When in Watchdog Reset, assertion of the reset signals depends on the WDRPROC bit in WDT_MR:

- If WDRPROC = 0, the Processor Reset and the Peripheral Reset are asserted. The NRST line is also asserted, depending on how field RSTC_MR.ERSTL is programmed. However, the resulting low level on NRST does not result in a User Reset state.

- If WDRPROC = 1, only the processor reset is asserted.

The Watchdog Timer is reset by the proc_nreset signal. As the watchdog fault always causes a processor reset if WDRSTEN in the WDT_MR is set, the Watchdog Timer is always reset after a Watchdog Reset and the Watchdog is enabled by default and with a period set to a maximum.

When bit WDT_MR.WDRSTEN is reset, the watchdog fault has no impact on the reset controller.

18.4.5 Reset State Priorities

The Reset State Manager manages the following priorities between the different reset sources, given in descending order:

- Backup Reset

- Wake-up Reset

- User Reset

- Watchdog Reset

- Software Reset

Particular cases are listed below:

- When in User Reset:

- A watchdog event is impossible because the Watchdog Timer is being reset by the proc_nreset signal.

- A software reset is impossible, since the processor reset is being activated.

- When in Software Reset:

- A watchdog event has priority over the current state.

- The NRST has no effect.

- When in Watchdog Reset:

- The processor reset is active and so a Software Reset cannot be programmed.

- A User Reset cannot be entered.

19.5 Product Dependencies

19.5.1 Power Management

The Shutdown Controller is continuously clocked by the Slow Clock (SLCK). The Power Management Controller has no effect on the behavior of the Shutdown Controller.

19.6 Functional Description

The Shutdown Controller manages the main power supply. To do so, it is supplied with VDDBU and manages wake-up input pins and one output pin, SHDN.

A typical application connects the pin SHDN to the shutdown input of the DC/DC Converter providing the main power supplies of the system, and especially VDDCORE and/or VDDIO. The wake-up inputs (WKUP0) connect to any push-buttons or signal that wake up the system

The software is able to control the pin SHDN by writing the Control register (SHDW_CR) with the bit SHDW at 1. The shutdown is taken into account only two slow clock cycles after the write of SHDW_CR. This register is password-protected and so the value written should contain the correct key for the command to be taken into account. As a result, the system should be powered down.

19.6.1 Wake-up Inputs

A level change on WKUP0 can trigger a wake-up. Wake-up is configured in the Mode register (SHDW_MR). The transition detector can be programmed to detect either a positive or negative transition or any level change on WKUP0. The detection can also be disabled. Programming is performed by defining WKMODE0

Moreover, a debouncing circuit can be programmed for WKUP0. The debouncing circuit filters pulses on WKUP0 shorter than the programmed number of 16 SLCK cycles in CPTWK0 of the SHDW_MR. If the programmed level change is detected on a pin, a counter starts. When the counter reaches the value programmed in the corresponding field, CPTWK0, the SHDN pin is released. If a new input change is detected before the counter reaches the corresponding value, the counter is stopped and cleared. WAKEUP0 of the Status register (SHDW_SR) reports the detection of the programmed events on WKUP0 with a reset after the read of SHDW_SR.

The Shutdown Controller can be programmed so as to activate the wake-up using the RTC alarm(detection of the rising edge event is synchronized with SLCK). This is done by writing the SHDW_MR using the RTCWKEN bit. When enabled, the detection of RTC alarm is reported in the RTCWK bit of SHDW_SR. They are cleared after reading SHDW_SR. When using the RTC alarm to wake up the system, the user must ensure that RTC alarmstatus flag is cleared before shutting down the system. Otherwise, no rising edge of the status flags may be detected and the wake-up will fail.

21.4 Functional Description

The Periodic Interval Timer aims at providing periodic interrupts for use by operating systems.

The PIT provides a programmable overflow counter and a reset-on-read feature. It is built around two counters: a 20-bit CPIV counter and a 12-bit PICNT counter. Both counters work at Master Clock /16.

The first 20-bit CPIV counter increments from 0 up to a programmable overflow value set in the field PIV of the Mode register (PIT_MR). When the counter CPIV reaches this value, it resets to 0 and increments the Periodic Interval Counter, PICNT. The status bit PITS in the Status register (PIT_SR) rises and triggers an interrupt, provided the interrupt is enabled (PITIEN in PIT_MR).

Writing a new PIV value in PIT_MR does not reset/restart the counters.

When CPIV and PICNT values are obtained by reading the Periodic Interval Value register (PIT_PIVR), the overflow counter (PICNT) is reset and the PITS bit is cleared, thus acknowledging the interrupt. The value of PICNT gives the number of periodic intervals elapsed since the last read of PIT_PIVR.

When CPIV and PICNT values are obtained by reading the Periodic Interval Image register (PIT_PIIR), there is no effect on the counters CPIV and PICNT, nor on the bit PITS. For example, a profiler can read PIT_PIIR without clearing any pending interrupt, whereas a timer interrupt clears the interrupt by reading PIT_PIVR.

The PIT may be enabled/disabled using the PITEN bit in the PIT_MR register (disabled on reset). The PITEN bit only becomes effective when the CPIV value is 0. Figure 21-2 illustrates the PIT counting. After the PIT Enable bit is reset (PITEN = 0), the CPIV goes on counting until the PIV value is reached, and is then reset. PIT restarts counting, only if the PITEN is set again.

The PIT is stopped when the core enters debug state.

22. Real-time Clock (RTC)

22.1 Description

The Real-time Clock (RTC) peripheral is designed for very low power consumption. For optimal functionality, the RTC requires an accurate external 32.768 kHz clock, which can be provided by a crystal oscillator.

It combines a complete time-of-day clock with alarm and a Gregorian calendar, complemented by a programmable periodic interrupt. The alarm and calendar registers are accessed by a 32-bit data bus.

The time and calendar values are coded in binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. The time format can be 24-hour mode or 12-hour mode with an AM/PM indicator.

Updating time and calendar fields and configuring the alarm fields are performed by a parallel capture on the 32-bit data bus. An entry control is performed to avoid loading registers with incompatible BCD format data or with an incompatible date according to the current month/year/century.

22.2 Embedded Characteristics

• Full Asynchronous Design for Ultra Low Power Consumption
• Gregorian Mode Supported
- Programmable Periodic Interrupt
• Safety/security Features:
- Valid Time and Date Programming Check

22.4 Product Dependencies

22.4.1 Power Management

The Real-time Clock is continuously clocked at 32.768 kHz. The Power Management Controller has no effect on RTC behavior.

22.4.2 Interrupt

Within the System Controller, the RTC interrupt is OR-wired with all the other module interrupts.

Only one System Controller interrupt line is connected on one of the internal sources of the interrupt controller.

RTC interrupt requires the interrupt controller to be programmed first.

When a System Controller interrupt occurs, the service routine must first determine the cause of the interrupt. This is done by reading each status register of the System Controller peripherals successively.

Table 22-1: Peripheral IDs

Instance ID
RTC 1

22.5 Functional Description

The RTC provides a full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock that includes century (19/20), year (with leap years), month, date, day, hours, minutes and seconds reported in RTC Time Register (RTC_TIMR) and RTC Calendar Register (RTC_CALR).

The valid year range is up to 2099 in Gregorian mode.

The RTC can operate in 24-hour mode or in 12-hour mode with an AM/PM indicator.

Corrections for leap years are included (all years divisible by 4 being leap years except 1900). This is correct up to the year 2099.

22.5.1 Reference Clock

The reference clock is the Slow Clock (SLCK). It can be driven internally or by an external 32.768 kHz crystal.

During low power modes of the processor, the oscillator runs and power consumption is critical. The crystal selection has to take into account the current consumption for power saving and the frequency drift due to temperature effect on the circuit for time accuracy.

22.5.2 Timing

The RTC is updated in real time at one-second intervals in Normal mode for the counters of seconds, at one-minute intervals for the counter of minutes and so on.

Due to the asynchronous operation of the RTC with respect to the rest of the chip, to be certain that the value read in the RTC registers (century, year, month, date, day, hours, minutes, seconds) are valid and stable, it is necessary to read these registers twice. If the data is the same both times, then it is valid. Therefore, a minimum of two and a maximum of three accesses are required.

22.5.3 Alarm

The RTC has five programmable fields: month, date, hours, minutes and seconds.

Each of these fields can be enabled or disabled to match the alarm condition:

  • If all the fields are enabled, an alarm flag is generated (the corresponding flag is asserted and an interrupt generated if enabled) at a given month, date, hour/minute/second.
  • If only the "seconds" field is enabled, then an alarm is generated every minute.

Depending on the combination of fields enabled, a large number of possibilities are available to the user ranging from minutes to 365/366 days.

Hour, minute and second matching alarm (SECEN, MINEN, HOUREN) can be enabled independently of SEC, MIN, HOUR fields.

Note: To change one of the SEC, MIN, HOUR, DATE, MONTH fields, it is recommended to disable the field before changing the value and then re-enable it after the change has been made. This requires up to three accesses to the RTC_TIMALR or RTC_CALALR. The first access clears the enable corresponding to the field to change (SECEN, MINEN, HOUREN, DATEEN, MTHEN). If the field is already cleared, this access is not required. The second access performs the change of the value (SEC, MIN, HOUR, DATE, MONTH). The third access is required to re-enable the field by writing 1 in SECEN, MINEN, HOUREN, DATEEN, MTHEN fields.

22.5.4 Error Checking when Programming

Verification on user interface data is performed when accessing the century, year, month, date, day, hours, minutes, seconds and alarms. A check is performed on illegal BCD entries such as illegal date of the month with regard to the year and century configured.

If one of the time fields is not correct, the data is not loaded into the register/counter and a flag is set in the validity register. The user can not reset this flag. It is reset as soon as an acceptable value is programmed. This avoids any further side effects in the hardware. The same procedure is followed for the alarm.

The following checks are performed:

  1. Century (check if it is in range 19–20)
  2. Year (BCD entry check)
  3. Date (check range 01–31)
  4. Month (check if it is in BCD range 01–12, check validity regarding "date")
  5. Day (check range 1–7)
  6. Minute (check BCD and range 00–59)
  7. Second (check BCD and range 00–59)

  8. Hour (BCD checks: in 24-hour mode, check range 00–23 and check that AM/PM flag is not set if RTC is set in 24-hour mode; in 12-hour mode check range 01–12)

Note: If the 12-hour mode is selected by means of the RTC Mode Register (RTC_MR), a 12-hour value can be programmed and the returned value on RTC_TIMR will be the corresponding 24-hour value. The entry control checks the value of the AM/PM indicator (bit 22 of RTC_TIMR) to determine the range to be checked.

22.5.5 Updating Time/Calendar

To update any of the time/calendar fields, the user must first stop the RTC by setting the corresponding field in the Control register (RTC_CR). Bit UPDTIM must be set to update time fields (hour, minute, second) and bit UPDCAL must be set to update calendar fields (century, year, month, date, day).

The ACKUPD bit is automatically set within a second after setting the UPDTIM and/or UPDCAL bit (meaning one second is the maximum duration of the polling or wait for interrupt period). Once ACKUPD is set, it is mandatory to clear this flag by writing the corresponding bit in the RTC_SCCR, after which the user can write to the Time register, the Calendar register, or both.

Once the update is finished, the user must clear UPDTIM and/or UPDCAL in the RTC_CR.

When entering the programming mode of the calendar fields, the time fields remain enabled. When entering the programming mode of the time fields, both time and calendar fields are stopped. This is due to the location of the calendar logic circuitry (downstream for low-power considerations). It is highly recommended to prepare all the fields to be updated before entering programming mode. In successive update operations, the user must wait at least one second after resetting the UPDTIM/UPDCAL bit in the RTC_CR before setting these bits again. This is done by waiting for the SEC flag in the RTC_SR before setting UPDTIM/UPDCAL bit. After clearing UPDTIM/UPDCAL, the SEC flag must also be cleared.

23.4 Functional Description

The bits RCEN, OSC32EN, OSCSEL, and OSC32BYP are located in the Slow Clock Controller Configuration Register (SCKC_CR) located at the address 0xFFFFFE50 in the backed-up part of the System Controller and, thus, they are preserved while VDDBU is present. The embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator and the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator can be enabled by setting to 1, respectively, the RCEN and OSC32EN bits. The Slow Clock Selector command (OSCSEL bit) selects the slow clock source.

The 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator can be bypassed by setting the OSC32BYP bit to accept an external slow clock on XIN32.

After the VDDBU power-on reset, the default configuration is RCEN = 1, OSC32EN = 0 and OSCSEL = 0, allowing the system to start on the embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator.

The programmer controls the slow clock switching by software and so must take precautions during the switching phase.

The sequence to switch from the embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator to the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator is the following:

  1. Switch the master clock to a source different from slow clock (PLL or Main Oscillator) through the Power Management Controller.
  2. Enable the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator by writing a 1 to the OSC32EN bit.
  3. Wait for the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator to stabilize (software loop).
  4. Switch from the embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator to the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator by writing a 1 to the OSCSEL bit.
  5. Wait 5 slow clock cycles for internal resynchronization.
  6. Disable the 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator by writing a 0 to the RCEN bit.

23.4.2 Bypassing the 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator

The sequence to bypass the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator is the following:

  1. An external clock must be connected on XIN32.

  2. Enable the bypass path by writing a 1 to the OSC32BYP bit.

  3. Disable the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator by writing a 0 to the OSC32EN bit.

23.4.3 Switching from 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator to Embedded 32 kHz RC Oscillator

The sequence to switch from the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator to the embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator is the following:

  1. Switch the master clock to a source different from slow clock (PLL or Main Oscillator).
  2. Enable the embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator for low power by writing a 1 to the RCEN bit.
  3. Wait for the embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator to stabilize (software loop).
  4. Switch from the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator to the embedded RC oscillator by writing a 0 to the OSCSEL bit.
  5. Wait 5 slow clock cycles for internal resynchronization.
  6. Disable the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator by writing a 0 to the OSC32EN bit.

24. Fuse Controller (FUSE)

24.1 Description

The Fuse Controller (FUSE) supports software fuse programming through a 32-bit register. Only fuses set to level '1' are programmed. The fast (main) RC oscillator must be enabled at startup to access the fuse matrix.

It reads the fuse states on startup and stores them into 32-bit registers. The first eight Fuse Status registers (FUSE_SRx) can be masked and will read as a value of '0' regardless of the fuse state when masked.

24.2 Embedded Characteristics

  • Software Fuse Programming
  • User Write Access for Fuse
  • Part of Fuse can be Masked After Read

- 256 FUSE bits:

  • 192 bits are dedicated to Users
  • 3 bits are dedicated to Special Functions

- The Fuse Controller can be hidden thanks to an SFR write-once bit. Refer to Section 15. Special Function Registers (SFR).

To avoid any malfunctioning, the user must not write the "DO NOT USE (DNU)" FUSE bits.

The user is allowed to set special bits as described in the following table.

Table 24-2: Special Bits

Bit Number Bit Name Function
162 B BMS_SAMPLING_DISABLED - BMS sampling is disabled if set
161 J JTAG_DISABLED - JTAG is disabled if set

24.4 Functional Description

24.4.1 Fuse Reading

The fuse states are automatically read on CORE startup and are available for reading in the eight Fuse Status (FUSE_SRx) registers. The fuse states of bits 31 to 0 will be available at FUSE_SR0, the fuse states of bits 63 to 32 will be available at FUSE_SR1 and so on. FUSE_SRx registers can be updated manually by using the RRQ bit of the Fuse Control register (FUSE_CR). RS and WS bits of the Fuse Index register (FUSE_IR) must be at level one before issuing the read request.

24.4.2 Fuse Programming

All the fuses, except Microchip reserved fuses, can be written by software. To program fuses, strictly follow the order of the sequence instructions as provided below:

  1. Select the word to write, using the WSEL field of the Fuse Index register (FUSE_IR).

  2. Write the word to program in the Fuse Data register (FUSE_DR).

  3. Check that RS and WS bits of the FUSE_IR are at level one (no read and no write pending).

  4. Write the WRQ bit of the Fuse Control register (FUSE_CR) to begin the fuse programming. The KEY field must be written at the same time with a value 0xFB to make the write request valid. Writing the WRQ bit will clear the WS bit.

  5. Check the WS bit of FUSE_IR. When WS has a value of '1' the fuse write process is over.

Only fuses to be set to level '1' are written.

24.4.3 Fuse Masking

It is possible to mask the first eight FUSE_SRx registers so that they will be read at a value of '0', regardless of the fuse state.

To activate fuse masking on the first eight FUSE_SRx registers, the MSK bit of the Fuse Mode register (FUSE_MR) must be written to level '1'. The MSK bit is write-only. Only a general reset can disable fuse masking.

25. Clock Generator

25.1 Description

The Clock Generator User Interface is embedded within the Power Management Controller and is described in Section 26.17 Power Management Controller (PMC) User Interface. However, the Clock Generator registers are named CKGR_.

25.2 Embedded Characteristics

The Clock Generator is made up of:

  • A low-power 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator with Bypass mode
  • A low-power embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator generating the 32 kHz source clock
  • An 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator or a 12 to 48 MHz XRCGB crystal resonator with Bypass mode
    • A 12 MHz RC oscillator
    • A 480 MHz UTMI PLL providing a clock for the USB High Speed Device Controller
  • A 400 to 1000 MHz programmable PLL (input from 8 to 50 MHz), capable of providing the clock MCK to the processor and to the peripherals (HCLOCK and PCLOCK)

The Clock Generator provides the following clocks:

  • SLCK, the Slow Clock, which is the only permanent clock within the system
  • MAINCK is the output of the main clock oscillator selection: either 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator or 12 MHz RC oscillator
  • PLLACK is the output of the divider and the 400 to 1000 MHz programmable PLL (PLLA)
  • UPLLCK is the output of the 480 MHz UTMI PLL (UPLL)
  • SMDCK is the Software Modem Clock

The Power Management Controller also provides the following operations on clocks:

  • 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator clock failure detector
    • 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator frequency monitor
  • Frequency counter on main clock and an on-the-fly adjustable 12 MHz RC oscillator frequency

25.4 Slow Clock

The Slow Clock Controller embeds a slow clock generator that is supplied with the VDDBU power supply. As soon as VDDBU is supplied, both the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator and the embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator are powered, but only the RC oscillator is enabled. This allows the slow clock to be valid in a short time (about 100 s).

The slow clock is generated either by the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator or by the embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator.

The selection of the slow clock source is made via the OSCSEL bit in the Slow Clock Controller Configuration register (SCKC_CR).

SCKC_CR.OSCSEL and PMC_SR.OSCSELS report which oscillator is selected as the slow clock source. PMC_SR.OSCSELS informs when the switch sequence initiated by a new value written in SCKC_CR.OSCSEL is done.

25.4.1 Embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC Oscillator

By default, the embedded 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator is enabled and selected. The user has to take into account the possible drifts of this oscillator. Refer to Table 54-2 DC Characteristics in Section 54. Electrical Characteristics.

This oscillator is disabled by clearing SCKC_CR.RCEN.

25.4.2 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator

The Clock Generator integrates a low-power 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator. To use this oscillator, the XIN32 and XOUT32 pins must be connected to a 32.768 kHz crystal. Two external capacitors must be wired as shown in Figure 25-2. More details are given in the section "DC Characteristics".

Note that the user is not obliged to use the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator and can use the 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator instead.

Figure 25-2: Typical 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator Connection
Microchip ATSAMA5D33 - 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator - 1

text_image XIN32 XOUT32 GND 32.768 kHz Crystal

The 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator provides a more accurate frequency than the 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator.

To select the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator as the source of the slow clock, the bit SCKC_CR.OSCSEL must be set. This results in a sequence which enables the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator and then disables the 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator to save power. The switch of the slow clock source is glitch-free.

The user can also set the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator in Bypass mode instead of connecting a crystal. In this case, the user must provide the external clock signal on XIN32. The input characteristics of the XIN32 pin are given in the section "Electrical Characteristics". To enter Bypass mode, the SCKC_CR.OSC32BYP must be set prior to setting SCKC_CR.OSCSEL.

25.5 Main Clock

The main clock has two sources:

  • a 12 MHz RC oscillator with a fast startup time and used at startup
  • an 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator which can be bypassed

    S["MAINFRDY"] --> Q
    T["MAINF"] --> Q

25.5.1 12 MHz RC Oscillator

After reset, the 12 MHz RC oscillator is enabled and it is selected as the source of MCK. MCK is the default clock selected to start up the system.

Refer to Table 54-2 DC Characteristics.

The software can disable or enable the 12 MHz RC oscillator with the MOSCRCEN bit in CKGR_MOR.

When disabling the main clock by clearing the MOSCRCEN bit in CKGR_MOR, the MOSCRCS bit in PMC_SR is automatically cleared, indicating the main clock is off.

Setting the MOSCRCS bit in the Interrupt Enable register (PMC_IER) can trigger an interrupt to the processor.

25.5.2 12 MHz RC Oscillator Clock Frequency Adjustment

If an external 32 KHz crystal is used, it is possible for the user to adjust the 12 MHz RC oscillator frequency through the PMC Oscillator Calibration Register (PMC_OCR). By default, the SEL bit in PMC_OCR is low, so the RC oscillator is driven with fuse calibration bits which are programmed during the chip production.

The user can adjust the trimming of the 12 MHz RC oscillator through PMC_OCR in order to obtain more accurate frequency (to compensate derating factors such as temperature and voltage).

In order to calibrate the 12 MHz oscillator frequency, SEL must be set to 1 and a correct frequency value must be configured in the CAL field.

Bit 6 of the field CAL[6:0] is a sign bit. Increasing the CAL field value (highest code) increases the 12 MHz RC oscillator output frequency with a typical 55 kHz step.

0111111 Highest code
0111110

1111111
1111110
......
1000010
1000001
1000000 Lowest code

It is possible to restart, at anytime, a measurement of the frequency of the selected clock by means of the RCMEAS bit in the Clock Generator Main Clock Frequency register (CKGR_MCFR). Thus, when MAINFRDY flag reads 1, another read access on CKGR_MCFR provides an image of the frequency of the main clock on MAINF field. The software can calculate the error with an expected frequency and correct the CAL field in PMC_OCR accordingly. This may be used to compensate frequency drift due to derating factors such as temperature and/or voltage.

25.5.3 8 to 48 MHz Crystal Oscillator

After reset, the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator is disabled and is not selected as the source of MAINCK.

As the source of MAINCK, the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator provides an accurate frequency. The software enables or disables this oscillator in order to reduce power consumption via CKGR_MOR.MOSCXTEN.

When disabling this oscillator by clearing the CKGR_MOR.MOSCXTEN bit, the PMC_SR.MOSCXTS bit is automatically cleared, indicating the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator is off.

When enabling this oscillator, the user must initiate the startup time counter. This startup time depends on the characteristics of the external device connected to this oscillator. Refer to Section 54. Electrical Characteristics for the startup time.

When CKGR_MOR.MOSCXTEN and CKGR_MOR.MOSCXTST are written to enable this oscillator, the PMC_SR.MOSCXTS bit is cleared and the counter starts counting down on the slow clock divided by 8 from the MOSCXTST value. When the counter reaches 0, the PMC_SR.MOSCXTS is set, indicating that the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator is stabilized. Setting PMC_IMR.MOSCXTS triggers an interrupt to the processor.

25.5.4 Main Clock Source Selection

The main clock is generated by the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator, an XRCGB crystal resonator or by the embedded 12 MHz RC oscillator.

The selection is made by writing CKGR_MOR.MOSCSEL. The switch of the main clock source is glitch-free, so there is no need to run out of SLCK or PLLACK in order to change the selection. PMC_SR.MOSCSELS indicates when the switch sequence is done.

Setting PMC_IMR.MOSCSELS triggers an interrupt to the processor.

The 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator can be bypassed by setting the MOSCXTBY bit in CKGR_MOR to accept an external main clock on XIN (refer to Section 25.5.5 Bypassing the 8 to 48 MHz Crystal Oscillator).

MOSCRCEN, MOSCXTEN, MOSCSEL and MOSCXTBY bits are located in the PMC Clock Generator Main Oscillator Register (CKGR_MOR).

After a VDDBU power-on reset, the default configuration is MOSCRCEN = 1, MOSCXTEN = 0 and MOSCSEL = 0, allowing the 12 MHz RC oscillator to start as Main clock.

25.5.5 Bypassing the 8 to 48 MHz Crystal Oscillator

Prior to bypassing the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator, the external clock frequency provided on the XIN pin must be stable and within the values specified in the XIN Clock characteristics in the section "Electrical Characteristics".

The sequence to bypass the crystal oscillator is the following:

  1. Ensure that an external clock is connected on XIN.
  2. Enable the bypass by setting CKGR_MOR.MOSCXTBY.
  3. Disable the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator by clearing CKGR_MOR.MOSCXTEN.

25.5.6 Main Clock Frequency Counter

The frequency counter is managed by CKGR_MCFR.

During the measurement period, the frequency counter increments at the main clock speed.

A measurement is started in the following cases:

  • When the RCMEAS bit of CKGR_MCFR is written to 1.
  • When the 12 MHz RC oscillator is selected as the source of the main clock and when this oscillator becomes stable (i.e., when the MOSCRCS bit is set)
  • When the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator is selected as the source of the main clock and when this oscillator becomes stable (i.e., when the MOSCXTS bit is set)
  • When the main clock source selection is modified

The measurement period ends at the 16th falling edge of the slow clock, the MAINFRDY bit in CKGR_MCFR is set and the counter stops counting. Its value can be read in the MAINF field of CKGR_MCFR and gives the number of main clock cycles during 16 periods of slow clock, so that the frequency of the 12 MHz RC oscillator or the crystal oscillator can be determined.

25.5.7 Switching Main Clock Between the RC Oscillator and the Crystal Oscillator

When switching the source of the main clock between the RC oscillator and the crystal oscillator, both oscillators must be enabled. After completion of the switch, the unused oscillator can be disabled.

If switching to the crystal oscillator, a check must be carried out to ensure that the oscillator is present and that its frequency is valid. Follow the sequence below:

  1. Select the slow clock as MCK by configuring bit CSS = 0 in the Master Clock register (PMC_MCKR).
  2. Wait for PMC_SR.MCKRDY flag in PMC_SR to rise.
  3. Enable the crystal oscillator by setting CKGR_MOR.MOSCXTEN. Configure the CKGR_MOR. MOSCXTST field with the crystal oscillator start-up time as defined in the section "Electrical Characteristics".
  4. Wait for PMC_SR.MOSCXTS flag to rise, indicating the end of a start-up period of the crystal oscillator.
  5. Select the crystal oscillator as the source of the main clock by setting CKGR_MOR.MOSCSEL.
  6. Read CKGR_MOR.MOSCSEL until its value equals 1.
  7. Check the status of PMC_SR.MOSCSELS flag:

- If MOSCSELS = 1: There is a crystal oscillator connected.

a) Initiate a new frequency measurement by setting CKGR_MCFR.RCMEAS.
b) Read CKGR_MCFR.MAINFRDY unit its value equals 1.
c) Read CKGR_MCFR.MAINF and compute the value of the crystal frequency.
d) If the MAINF value is valid, the main clock can be switched to the crystal oscillator.

- If MOSCSELS = 0: There is no crystal oscillator connected or the crystal oscillator is out of specification.

- Select the RC oscillator as the source of the main clock by clearing CKGR_MOR.MOSCSEL.

25.6 Divider and PLLA Block

The PLLA embeds an input divider to increase the accuracy of the resulting clock signals. However, the user must respect the PLLA minimum input frequency when programming the divider.

Figure 25-5 shows the block diagram of the divider and PLLA block.

25.6.1 Divider and Phase Lock Loop Programming

The divider can be set between 1 and 255 in steps of 1. When a divider field (DIV) is cleared, the output of the corresponding divider and the PLL output is a continuous signal at level 0. On reset, each DIV field is cleared, thus the corresponding PLL input clock is stuck at 0.

The PLLA allows multiplication of the divider's outputs. The PLLA clock signal has a frequency that depends on the respective source signal frequency and on the parameters DIVA and MULA. The factor applied to the source signal frequency is (MULA + 1)/DIVA . When MULA is written to 0, the PLLA is disabled and its power consumption is saved. Re-enabling the PLLA can be performed by writing a value higher than 0 in the MUL field.

Whenever the PLLA is re-enabled or one of its parameters is changed, the LOCKA bit in PMC_SR is automatically cleared. The values written in the PLLACOUNT field in CKGR_PLLAR are loaded in the PLLA counter. The PLLA counter then decrements at the speed of the slow clock until it reaches 0. At this time, the LOCK bit is set in PMC_SR and can trigger an interrupt to the processor. The user has to load the number of slow clock cycles required to cover the PLLA transient time into the PLLACOUNT field.

The PLLA clock must be divided by 2 by writing the PLLADIV2 bit in PMC_MCKR, if the ratio between Processor Clock (PCK) and MCK is 3 (MDIV = 3).

25.7 UTMI Phase Lock Loop Programming

The source clock of the UTMI PLL is the main clock (MAINCK). The MAINCK must select the fast crystal oscillator to meet the frequency accuracy required by USB.

The crystal frequency selection among 12, 16, 24 or 48 MHz must be configured to the correct value in the field SFR_UTMICKTRIM.FREQ, in order to apply the correct multiplier, x40, x30, x20 or x10, respectively.

    H["UPLLCOUNT"] --> D

Whenever the UTMI PLL is enabled by writing UPLLEN in CKGR_UCKR, the LOCKU bit in PMC_SR is automatically cleared. The values written in the PLLCOUNT field in CKGR_UCKR are loaded in the UTMI PLL counter. The UTMI PLL counter then decrements at the speed of the slow clock divided by 8 until it reaches 0. At this time, the LOCKU bit is set in PMC_SR and can trigger an interrupt to the processor. The user has to load the number of slow clock cycles required to cover the UTMI PLL transient time into the PLLCOUNT field.

26. Power Management Controller (PMC)

26.1 Description

The Power Management Controller (PMC) optimizes power consumption by controlling all system and user peripheral clocks. The PMC enables/disables the clock inputs to many of the peripherals and the Core.

26.2 Embedded Characteristics

The Power Management Controller provides the following clocks:

  • Master Clock (MCK)—programmable from a few hundred Hz to the maximum operating frequency of the device. It is available to the modules running permanently.
  • Processor Clock (PCK)—must be switched off when processor is entering Idle mode
    • USB Device HS Clock (UDPCK)
  • Software Modem Clock (SMDCK)
  • Peripheral Clocks (typically MCK)—provided to the embedded peripherals (USART, SSC, SPI, TWI, TC, HSMCI, etc.) and independently controllable. In order to reduce the number of clock names in a product, the Peripheral Clocks are named MCK.
  • Programmable Clock Outputs can be selected from the clocks provided by the clock generator and driven on the PCKx pins.

26.4 Master Clock Controller

The Master Clock Controller provides selection and division of the Master Clock (MCK). MCK is the source clock of the peripheral clocks. The Master Clock is selected from one of the clocks provided by the Clock Generator. Selecting the slow clock provides a slow clock signal to the whole device. Selecting the main clock saves power consumption of the PLLs.

The Master Clock Controller is made up of a clock selector and a prescaler. It also contains a Master Clock divider which allows the processor clock to be faster than the Master Clock.

The Master Clock selection is made by writing the CSS (Clock Source Selection) field in PMC_MCKR (Master Clock register). The prescaler supports the division by a power of 2 of the selected clock between 1 and 64, and the division by 6. The PRES field in PMC_MCKR programs the prescaler.

Note: It is forbidden to modify MDIV and CSS at the same access. Each field must be modified separately with a wait for MCKRDY flag between the first field modification and the second field modification.

Each time PMC_MCKR is written to define a new Master Clock, the MCKRDY bit is cleared in PMC_SR. It reads 0 until the Master Clock is established. Then, the MCKRDY bit is set and can trigger an interrupt to the processor. This feature is useful when switching from a high-speed clock to a lower one to inform the software when the change is actually done.

26.5 Processor Clock Controller

The PMC features a Processor Clock (PCK) Controller that implements the processor Idle mode.

The processor clock can be disabled by executing the WFI (WaitForInterrupt) processor instruction.

The processor clock can be disabled by writing the PMC System Clock Disable Register (PMC_SCDR). The status of this clock (at least for debug purposes) can be read in the PMC System Clock Status Register (PMC_SCSR).

The processor clock is enabled after a reset and is automatically re-enabled by any enabled interrupt. The processor Idle mode is achieved by disabling the processor clock, which is automatically re-enabled by any enabled fast or normal interrupt, or by the reset of the product.

When processor Idle mode is entered, the current instruction is finished before the clock is stopped, but this does not prevent data transfers from other masters of the system bus.

26.6 LCDC Clock Controller

In order to have more flexibility on the pixel clock, the LCDC can use MCK or MCKx2, if LCDCK is set in the PMC System Clock Enable Register (PMC_SCER).

26.7 USB Device and Host Clocks

The USB Device and Host High Speed ports (UDPHS and UHPHS) clocks are enabled by the corresponding PIDx bits in PMC_PCERx. To save power on this peripheral when they are not used, the user can set these bits in PMC_PCDR. Corresponding PIDx bits in PMC_PCSR give the status of these clocks.

The PMC also provides the clocks UHP48M and UHP12M to the USB Host OHCI. The USB Host OHCI clocks are controlled by the UHP bit in PMC_SCER. To save power on this peripheral when they are not used, the user can set the UHP bit in PMC_SCDR. The UHP bit in PMC_SCSR gives the status of this clock. The USB host OHCI requires both the 12/48 MHz signal and the Master Clock. The USBDIV field in PMC_USB register is to be programmed to 9 (division by 10) for normal operations.

To further reduce power consumption the user can stop UTMI PLL, in this case USB high-speed operations are not possible. Nevertheless, as the USB OHCI Input clock can be selected with USBS bit (PLLA or UTMI PLL) in PMC_USB register, OHCI full-speed operation remains possible.

The user must program the USB OHCI Input Clock and the USBDIV divider in the PMC_USB register to generate a 48 MHz and a 12 MHz signal with an accuracy of ±0.25%.

The USB clock input is to be defined according to main oscillator via the FREQ field. This field is defined in the UTMI Clock Trimming register (SFR_UTMICKTRIM). Refer to Section 15. Special Function Registers (SFR). This input clock can be 12, 16, 24 or 48 MHz.

26.8 DDR2/LPDDR/LPDDR2 Clock

The PMC controls the clocks of the DDR memory.

The DDR clock can be enabled and disabled with the DDRCK bit respectively in PMC_SCER and PMC_SDER. At reset, the DDR clock is disabled to reduce power consumption.

In case MDIV = 0 (PCK = MCK), the DDRCK clock is not available.

To reduce PLLA power consumption, the user can choose UPLLCK as an input clock for the system. In this case the DDR Controller can drive LPDDR or LPDDR2 at up to 120 MHz.

26.9 Software Modem Clock

The PMC controls the clocks of the Software Modem.

SMDCK is a division of UPLL or PLLA.

26.10 Fast Startup from Ultra Low-power (ULP) Mode

In Ultra Low-power (ULP) mode, the main clock (MAINCK) must be running, thus either the 12 MHz crystal oscillator or the Fast RC oscillator must be enabled. The lowest power consumption that can be achieved in ULP Mode, can be obtained when dividing the selected oscillator frequency by 64 by writing the field PMC_MCKR.PRES to 6. Any interrupt exits the system from ULP Mode. The software must write PMC_MCKR.PRES to 1 to provide MCK with the fastest clock. If the PLL is used, the startup procedure must be done prior to write PMC_MCKR.PRES to 1. Figure 26-4 is an example of startup phase from ULP Mode without use of PLL.

Figure 26-4: Fast Startup from Ultra Low-Power Mode
Microchip ATSAMA5D33 - Fast Startup from Ultra Low-power (ULP) Mode - 1

text_image MODE 12 MHz RC MCK Any interrupt ULP 187 kHz ACTIVE 12 MHz ULP 187 kHz Write PMC_MCKR.PRES = 0 (no division) Synchronization Period Synchronization Period Write PMC_SCDR.PCK = 1 Write PMC_MCKR.PRES = 6 (divided by 64) PMC_SR.MCKRDY

Warning: The duration of the WKUPx pins active level must be greater than 4 MAINCK cycles.

26.11 Peripheral Clock Controller

The PMC controls the clocks of each embedded peripheral by means of the Peripheral Clock Controller. The user can individually enable and disable the clock on the peripherals and select a division factor from MCK. This is done in the Peripheral Control register (PMC_PCR). In order to reduce power consumption, the division factor can be 1, 2, 4 or 8.

The divisor is defined in PMC_PCR. To apply a division factor, PID, CMD and DIV must be written in a single operation. The target peripheral clock is defined by the PID field. The divisor value is defined by DIV and the bit CMD must be set. To read the current division factor associated with a peripheral clock, two separate operations must be performed:

  1. Write a zero to the CMD bit and configure PID for the target peripheral clock. DIV is not significant for this operation.
  2. Read PMC_PCR. The value of DIV is the divisor applied to the peripheral clock defined by PID.

When a peripheral clock is disabled, the clock is immediately stopped. The peripheral clocks are automatically disabled after a reset.

In order to stop a peripheral, it is recommended that the system software wait until the peripheral has executed its last programmed operation before disabling the clock. This is to avoid data corruption or erroneous behavior of the system.

The value written in the PID field in PMC_PCR is the Peripheral Identifier defined at the product level (refer to Section 8.2 Peripheral Identifiers). Generally, the field value corresponds to the interrupt source number assigned to the peripheral.

26.12 Programmable Clock Controller

The PMC controls three signals to be outputs on external pins PCKx. Each signal can be independently programmed via the PMC Programmable Clock register (PMC_PCKx).

PCKx can be independently selected between the Slow Clock (SLCK), the Master Clock (MAINCK), the PLLACK, the UTMI PLL output and the Main Clock by writing the CSS field in PMC_PCKx. Each output signal can also be divided by a power of 2 between 1 and 64 by writing the PRES (Prescaler) field in PMC_PCKx.

Each output signal can be enabled and disabled by writing a 1 in the corresponding bit, PCKx of PMC_SCER and PMC_SCDR, respectively. The status of the active programmable output clocks are given in the PCKx bits of PMC_SCSR.

The status bit PCKRDYx in PMC_SR indicates that the Programmable Clock programmed in PMC_PCKx is ready.

As the Programmable Clock Controller does not implement glitch prevention when switching clocks, it is strongly recommended to disable the Programmable Clock before any configuration change and to re-enable it after the change is actually performed.

26.13 Main Clock Failure Detector

The clock failure detector monitors the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator or ceramic resonator-based oscillator to identify a possible failure of this oscillator.

The clock failure detector can be enabled or disabled by bit CFDEN in CKGR_MOR. After a VDDCORE reset, the detector is disabled. However, if the oscillator is disabled (MOSCXTEN = 0), the detector is also disabled.

The sequence to initialize the clock failure detector is the following:

  1. The RC oscillator must be selected as the source of MAINCK.
  2. MCK must select MAINCK.
  3. Enable the clock failure detector by setting the bit CKGR_MOR.CFDEN.
  4. PMC_SR must be read two slow clock cycles after enabling the clock failure detector. The value read is meaningless.

The clock failure detector is now initialized and MCK can select another clock source by programming field PMC_MCKR.CSS.

A failure is detected by means of a counter incrementing on the main oscillator clock edge and detection logic is triggered by the 32 kHz generated by the 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator. This oscillator is automatically enabled when CFDEN = 1.

The counter is cleared when the 32 kHz generated by the 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator clock signal is low, and enabled when the signal is high. Thus, the failure detection time is one RC oscillator period. If, during the high level period of the 32 kHz generated by the 32 kHz (typical) RC oscillator clock signal, less than eight 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator clock periods have been counted, then a failure is reported.

If a failure of the main clock is detected, bit PMC_SR.CFDEV indicates a failure event and generates an interrupt if the corresponding interrupt source is enabled. The interrupt remains active until a read occurs in PMC_SR. The user can know the status of the clock failure detection at any time by reading bit PMC_SR.CFDS.

Figure 26-5: Clock Failure Detection (Example)
Microchip ATSAMA5D33 - Main Clock Failure Detector - 1

text_image Main Crystal Clock SLCK CDFEV CDFS Read PMC_SR

Note: Ratio of clock periods is for illustration purposes only.

If the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator or ceramic resonator-based oscillator is selected as the source clock of MAINCK (CKGR_MOR.MOSCSEL = 1), and if MCK source is PLLACK or UPLLCK (PMC_MCKR.CSS = 2 or 3), a clock failure detection automatically forces MAINCK to be the source clock for the master clock (MCK). Then, regardless of the PMC configuration, a clock failure detection automatically forces the 12 MHz RC oscillator to be the source clock for MAINCK. If this oscillator is disabled when a clock failure detection occurs, it is automatically re-enabled by the clock failure detection mechanism.

It takes two 32 kHz (typical) clock cycles to detect and switch from the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator to the 12 MHz RC oscillator if the source master clock (MCK) is main clock (MAINCK), or three 32 kHz (typical) cycles if the source of MCK is PLLACK or UPLLCK.

A clock failure detection activates a fault output that is connected to the Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) Controller. With this connection, the PWM controller is able to force its outputs and to protect the driven device, if a clock failure is detected.

The user can know the status of the clock failure detector at any time by reading bit PMC_SR.FOS.

This fault output remains active until the defect is detected and until it is cleared by the bit FOCLR in the Fault Output Clear register (PMC_FOCR).

26.14 Programming Sequence

  1. If the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator is not required, PLL can be directly configured (begin with Step 6. or Step 7.) else this oscillator must be started (begin with Step 2.).
  2. Enable the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator by setting the MOSCXTEN bit in CKGR_MOR. The user can define a start-up time. This can be achieved by writing a value in the MOSCXTST field in CKGR_MOR. Once this register has been correctly configured, the user must wait for the MOSCXTS field in PMC_SR to be set. This can be done either by polling MOSCXTS in PMC_SR or by waiting for the interrupt line to be raised if the associated interrupt source (MOSCXTS) has been enabled in PMC_IER.

  3. Switch the MAINCK to the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator by setting MOSCSEL in CKGR_MOR.

  4. Wait for the MOSCSELS to be set in PMC_SR to ensure the switchover is complete.

  5. Check the main clock frequency:

The main clock frequency can be measured via the Main Clock Frequency register (CKGR_MCFR).

Read CKGR_MCFR until the MAINFRDY field is set, after which the user can read the field CKGR_MCFR.MAINF by performing an additional read. This provides the number of main clock cycles that have been counted during a period of 16 slow clock cycles.

If MAINF = 0, switch the MAINCK to the 12 MHz RC oscillator by clearing CKGR_MOR.MOSCSEL. If MAINF ≠ 0, proceed to Step 6.

  1. Setting PLLA and divider (if not required, proceed to Step 7.)

All parameters needed to configure PLLA and the divider are located in CKGR_PLLAR.

The DIVA field is used to control the divider itself. A value between 0 and 255 can be programmed. Divider output is divider input divided by DIVA parameter. By default, the DIVA field is cleared, which means that the divider and PLLA are turned off.

The MULA field is the PLLA multiplier factor. This parameter can be programmed between 0 and 127. If MULA is cleared, PLLA is turned off, otherwise the PLLA output frequency is PLLA input frequency multiplied by (MULA + 1).

The PLLACOUNT field specifies the number of slow clock cycles before LOCKA bit is set in PMC_SR after CKGR_PLLAR has been written.

Once CKGR_PLLAR has been written, the user must wait for the LOCKA bit to be set in PMC_SR. This can be done either by polling LOCKA in PMC_SR or by waiting for the interrupt line to be raised if the associated interrupt source (LOCKA) has been enabled in PMC_IER. All parameters in CKGR_PLLAR can be programmed in a single write operation. If at some stage parameter MULA or DIVA is modified, LOCKA bit goes low to indicate that PLLA is not yet ready. When PLLA is locked, LOCKA is set again.

Once CKGR_PLLAR is written, the user has to write '3' in the IPLL_PLLA field of the PLL Charge Pump Current register (PMC_PLLICPR). The user must perform this step before using the PLLA output clock.

The user must wait for the LOCKA bit to be set before using the PLLA output clock.

  1. Setting Bias and High-speed PLL (UPLL) for UTMI

The UTMI PLL is enabled by setting the UPLLEN field in CKGR_UCKR. The UTMI Bias must be enabled by setting the BIASEN field in CKGR_UCKR at the same time. In some cases, it may be preferable to define a start-up time. This can be achieved by writing a value in the PLLCOUNT field in CKGR_UCKR.

Once this register has been correctly configured, the user must wait for the LOCKU field in PMC_SR to be set. This can be done either by polling LOCKU in PMC_SR or by waiting for the interrupt line to be raised if the associated interrupt source (LOCKU) has been enabled in PMC_IER.

  1. Selecting Master Clock and Processor Clock

The Master Clock and the Processor Clock are configurable via PMC_MCKR.

The CSS field is used to select the clock source of the Master Clock and Processor Clock dividers. By default, the selected clock source is the main clock.

The PRES field is used to define the Processor Clock and Master Clock prescaler. The user can choose between different values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64). Prescaler output is the selected clock source frequency divided by the PRES value.

The MDIV field is used to define the Master Clock divider. It is possible to choose between different values (0, 1, 2, 3). The Master Clock output is Processor Clock frequency divided by 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the value programmed in MDIV.

By default, MDIV and PLLLADIV2 are cleared, which indicates that Processor Clock is equal to the Master Clock.

Once PMC_MCKR has been written, the user must wait for the MCKRDY bit to be set in PMC_SR. This can be done either by polling MCKRDY in PMC_SR or by waiting for the interrupt line to be raised if the associated interrupt source (MCKRDY) has been enabled in PMC_IER.

PMC_MCKR must not be programmed in a single write operation. The programming sequence for PMC_MCKR is the following:

If a new value for CSS field corresponds to PLL Clock,

a) Program PMC_MCKR.PRES field

b) Wait for PMC_SR.MCKRDY bit to be set

c) Program PMC_MCKR.MDIV field

d) Wait for PMC_SR.MCKRDY bit to be set

e) Program PMC_MCKR.CSS field

f) Wait for PMC_SR.MCKRDY bit to be set

If a new value for CSS field corresponds to main clock or slow clock,

a) Program PMC_MCKR.CSS field

b) Wait for PMC_SR.MCKRDY bit to be set

c) Program PMC_MCKR.PRES field

d) Wait for PMC_SR.MCKRDY bit to be set

If at some stage parameter CSS, MDIV or PRES is modified, the MCKRDY bit goes low to indicate that the Master Clock and the Processor Clock are not yet ready. The user must wait for the MCKRDY bit to be set again before using the Master and Processor Clocks.

Note: If PLLA clock was selected as the Master Clock and the user decides to modify it by writing in CKGR_PLLR, the MCKRDY flag goes low while PLL is unlocked. Once PLL is locked again, LOCKA goes high and MCKRDY is set.

While PLL is unlocked, the Master Clock selection is automatically changed to slow clock. For further information, see Section 26.15.2 Clock Switching Waveforms.

Code Example:

write_register(PMC_MCKR,0x00000001)

wait (MCKRDY=1)

write_register(PMC_MCKR,0x00000011)

wait (MCKRDY=1)

The Master Clock is main clock divided by 2.

The Processor Clock is the Master Clock.

9. Selecting Programmable Clocks

Programmable clocks can be enabled and/or disabled via PMC_SCER and PMC_SCDR. 3 programmable clocks can be used. PMC_SCSR indicates which programmable clock is enabled. By default all programmable clocks are disabled.

PMC_PCKx registers are used to configure programmable clocks.

The PMC_PCKx.CSSfield selects the programmable clock divider source. Five clock options are available: main clock, slow clock, master clock, PLLACK, UPLLCK. The slow clock is the default clock source.

The PRES field is used to control the programmable clock prescaler. It is possible to choose among different values (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64). Programmable clock output is prescaler input divided by PRES parameter. By default, the PRES value is cleared which means that PCKx is equal to slow clock.

Once the PMC_PCKx register has been configured, The corresponding programmable clock must be enabled and the user is constrained to wait for the PCKRDYx bit to be set in PMC_SR. This can be done either by polling PCKRDYx in PMC_SR or by waiting for the interrupt line to be raised if the associated interrupt source (PCKRDYx) has been enabled in PMC_IER. All parameters in PMC_PCKx can be programmed in a single write operation.

If the CSS and PRES parameters are to be modified, the corresponding programmable clock must be disabled first. The parameters can then be modified. Once this has been done, the user must re-enable the programmable clock and wait for the PCKRDYx bit to be set.

10. Enabling Peripheral Clocks

Once all of the previous steps have been completed, the peripheral clocks can be enabled and/or disabled via PMC_PCERx and PMC_PCDRx.

26.15 Clock Switching Details

26.15.1 Master Clock Switching Timings

Table 26-1 and Table 26-2 give the worst case timings required for the Master Clock to switch from one selected clock to another one. This is in the event that the prescaler is deactivated. When the prescaler is activated, an additional time of 64 clock cycles of the new selected clock has to be added.

26.16 Register Write Protection

To prevent any single software error from corrupting PMC behavior, certain registers in the address space can be write-protected by setting the WPEN bit in the PMC Write Protection Mode Register (PMC_WPMR).

If a write access to a write-protected register is detected, the WPVS bit in the PMC Write Protection Status Register (PMC_WPSR) is set and the field WPVSRC indicates the register in which the write access has been attempted.

The WPVS bit is automatically cleared after reading PMC_WPSR.

The following registers can be write-protected:

• PMC System Clock Enable Register
• PMC System Clock Disable Register
• PMC Peripheral Clock Enable Register 0
• PMC Peripheral Clock Disable Register 0
- PMC Clock Generator Main Oscillator Register
• PMC Clock Generator Main Clock Frequency Register
• PMC Clock Generator PLLA Register
• PMC Master Clock Register
• PMC USB Clock Register
• PMC Programmable Clock Register

MAINF

This register can only be written if the WPEN bit is cleared in the PMC Write Protection Mode Register.

MAINF: Main Clock Frequency

Gives the number of main clock cycles within 16 slow clock periods. To calculate the frequency of the measured clock:

$$ \mathrm{f} _ {\text { MAINCK }} = (\text { MAINF } \times \mathrm{f} _ {\text { SLCK }}) / 1 6 $$

where frequency is in MHz.

MAINFRDY: Main Clock Frequency Measure Ready

0: MAINF value is not valid or the measured oscillator is disabled or a measure has just been started by means of RCMEAS.

1: The measured oscillator has been enabled previously and MAINF value is available.

Note: To ensure that a correct value is read on the MAINF field, the MAINFRDY flag must be read at 1 then another read access must be performed on the register to get a stable value on the MAINF field.

RCMEAS: RC Oscillator Frequency Measure (write-only)

0: No effect.

1: Restarts measuring of the frequency of the main clock source. MAINF will carry the new frequency as soon as a low to high transition occurs on the MAINFRDY flag.

The measure is performed on the main frequency (i.e., not limited to RC oscillator only), but if the main clock frequency source is the 8 to 48 MHz crystal oscillator, the restart of measuring is not needed because of the well known stability of crystal oscillators.

27.4 Product Dependencies

27.4.1 Pin Multiplexing

Each pin is configurable, depending on the product, as either a general-purpose I/O line only, or as an I/O line multiplexed with one or two peripheral I/Os. As the multiplexing is hardware defined and thus product-dependent, the hardware designer and programmer must carefully determine the configuration of the PIO Controllers required by their application. When an I/O line is general-purpose only, i.e., not multiplexed with any peripheral I/O, programming of the PIO Controller regarding the assignment to a peripheral has no effect and only the PIO Controller can control how the pin is driven by the product.

27.4.2 External Interrupt Lines

The interrupt signals FIQ and IRQ0 to IRQn are generally multiplexed through the PIO Controllers. However, it is not necessary to assign the I/O line to the interrupt function as the PIO Controller has no effect on inputs and the external interrupt lines are used only as inputs.

27.4.3 Power Management

The Power Management Controller controls the peripheral clock in order to save power. Writing any of the registers of the user interface does not require the peripheral clock to be enabled. This means that the configuration of the I/O lines does not require the peripheral clock to be enabled.

However, when the clock is disabled, not all of the features of the PIO Controller are available, including glitch filtering. Note that the input change interrupt, the interrupt modes on a programmable event and the read of the pin level require the clock to be validated.

After a hardware reset, the peripheral clock is disabled by default.

The user must configure the Power Management Controller before any access to the input line information.

27.4.4 Interrupt Sources

For interrupt handling, the PIO Controllers are considered as user peripherals. This means that the PIO Controller interrupt lines are connected among the interrupt sources. Refer to the PIO Controller peripheral identifier in the Peripheral Identifiers table to identify the interrupt sources dedicated to the PIO Controllers. Using the PIO Controller requires the Interrupt Controller to be programmed first.

The PIO Controller interrupt can be generated only if the peripheral clock is enabled.

27.5.1 Pull-up and Pull-down Resistor Control

Each I/O line is designed with an embedded pull-up resistor and an embedded pull-down resistor. The pull-up resistor can be enabled or disabled by writing to the Pull-up Enable Register (PIO_PUER) or Pull-up Disable Register (PIO_PUDR), respectively. Writing to these registers results in setting or clearing the corresponding bit in the Pull-up Status Register (PIO_PUSR). Reading a one in PIO_PUSR means the pull-up is disabled and reading a zero means the pull-up is enabled. The pull-down resistor can be enabled or disabled by writing the Pull-down Enable Register (PIO_PPDER) or the Pull-down Disable Register (PIO_PPDDR), respectively. Writing in these registers results in setting or clearing the corresponding bit in the Pull-down Status Register (PIO_PPDSR). Reading a one in PIO_PPDSR means the pull-up is disabled and reading a zero means the pull-down is enabled.

Enabling the pull-down resistor while the pull-up resistor is still enabled is not possible. In this case, the write of PIO_PPDER for the relevant I/O line is discarded. Likewise, enabling the pull-up resistor while the pull-down resistor is still enabled is not possible. In this case, the write of PIO_PUER for the relevant I/O line is discarded.

Control of the pull-up resistor is possible regardless of the configuration of the I/O line.

After reset, depending on the I/O, pull-up or pull-down can be set.

27.5.2 I/O Line or Peripheral Function Selection

When a pin is multiplexed with one or two peripheral functions, the selection is controlled with the Enable Register (PIO_PER) and the Disable Register (PIO_PDR). The Status Register (PIO_PSR) is the result of the set and clear registers and indicates whether the pin is controlled by the corresponding peripheral or by the PIO Controller. A value of zero indicates that the pin is controlled by the corresponding on-chip peripheral selected in the ABCD Select registers (PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2). A value of one indicates the pin is controlled by the PIO Controller.

If a pin is used as a general-purpose I/O line (not multiplexed with an on-chip peripheral), PIO_PER and PIO_PDR have no effect and PIO_PSR returns a one for the corresponding bit.

After reset, the I/O lines are controlled by the PIO Controller, i.e., PIO_PSR resets at one. However, in some events, it is important that PIO lines are controlled by the peripheral (as in the case of memory chip select lines that must be driven inactive after reset, or for address lines that must be driven low for booting out of an external memory). Thus, the reset value of PIO_PSR is defined at the product level and depends on the multiplexing of the device.

27.5.3 Peripheral A or B or C or D Selection

The PIO Controller provides multiplexing of up to four peripheral functions on a single pin. The selection is performed by writing PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2.

For each pin:

  • The corresponding bit at level zero in PIO_ABCDSR1 and the corresponding bit at level zero in PIO_ABCDSR2 means peripheral A is selected.
  • The corresponding bit at level one in PIO_ABCDSR1 and the corresponding bit at level zero in PIO_ABCDSR2 means peripheral B is selected.
  • The corresponding bit at level zero in PIO_ABCDSR1 and the corresponding bit at level one in PIO_ABCDSR2 means peripheral C is selected.
  • The corresponding bit at level one in PIO_ABCDSR1 and the corresponding bit at level one in PIO_ABCDSR2 means peripheral D is selected.

Note that multiplexing of peripheral lines A, B, C and D only affects the output line. The peripheral input lines are always connected to the pin input (see Figure 27-2).

Writing in PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2 manages the multiplexing regardless of the configuration of the pin. However, assignment of a pin to a peripheral function requires a write in PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2 in addition to a write in PIO_PDR.

After reset, PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2 are zero, thus indicating that all the PIO lines are configured on peripheral A. However, peripheral A generally does not drive the pin as the PIO Controller resets in I/O line mode.

If the software selects a peripheral A, B, C or D which does not exist for a pin, no alternate functions are enabled for this pin and the selection is taken into account. The PIO Controller does not carry out checks to prevent selection of a peripheral which does not exist.

27.5.4 Output Control

When the I/O line is assigned to a peripheral function, i.e., the corresponding bit in PIO_PSR is at zero, the drive of the I/O line is controlled by the peripheral. Peripheral A or B or C or D depending on the value in PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2 determines whether the pin is driven or not.

When the I/O line is controlled by the PIO Controller, the pin can be configured to be driven. This is done by writing the Output Enable Register (PIO_OER) and Output Disable Register (PIO_ODR). The results of these write operations are detected in the Output Status Register (PIO_OSR). When a bit in this register is at zero, the corresponding I/O line is used as an input only. When the bit is at one, the corresponding I/O line is driven by the PIO Controller.

The level driven on an I/O line can be determined by writing in the Set Output Data Register (PIO_SODR) and the Clear Output Data Register (PIO_CODR). These write operations, respectively, set and clear the Output Data Status Register (PIO_ODSR), which represents the data driven on the I/O lines. Writing in PIO_OER and PIO_ODR manages PIO_OSR whether the pin is configured to be controlled by the PIO Controller or assigned to a peripheral function. This enables configuration of the I/O line prior to setting it to be managed by the PIO Controller.

Similarly, writing in PIO_SODR and PIO_CODR affects PIO_ODSR. This is important as it defines the first level driven on the I/O line.

27.5.5 Synchronous Data Output

Clearing one or more PIO line(s) and setting another one or more PIO line(s) synchronously cannot be done by using PIO_SODR and PIO_CODR. It requires two successive write operations into two different registers. To overcome this, the PIO Controller offers a direct control of PIO outputs by single write access to PIO_ODSR. Only bits unmasked by the Output Write Status Register (PIO_OWSR) are written. The mask bits in PIO_OWSR are set by writing to the Output Write Enable Register (PIO_OWNER) and cleared by writing to the Output Write Disable Register (PIO_OWDR).

After reset, the synchronous data output is disabled on all the I/O lines as PIO_OWSR resets at 0x0.

27.5.6 Multi-Drive Control (Open Drain)

Each I/O can be independently programmed in open drain by using the multi-drive feature. This feature permits several drivers to be connected on the I/O line which is driven low only by each device. An external pull-up resistor (or enabling of the internal one) is generally required to ensure a high level on the line.

The multi-drive feature is controlled by the Multi-driver Enable Register (PIO_MDER) and the Multi-driver Disable Register (PIO_MDDR). The multi-drive can be selected whether the I/O line is controlled by the PIO Controller or assigned to a peripheral function. The Multi-driver Status Register (PIO_MDSR) indicates the pins that are configured to support external drivers.

After reset, the multi-drive feature is disabled on all pins, i.e., PIO_MDSR resets at value 0x0.

27.5.7 Output Line Timings

Figure 27-3 shows how the outputs are driven either by writing PIO_SODR or PIO_CODR, or by directly writing PIO_ODSR. This last case is valid only if the corresponding bit in PIO_OWSR is set. Figure 27-3 also shows when the feedback in the Pin Data Status Register (PIO_PDSR) is available.

27.5.8 Inputs

The level on each I/O line can be read through PIO_PDSR. This register indicates the level of the I/O lines regardless of their configuration, whether uniquely as an input, or driven by the PIO Controller, or driven by a peripheral.

Reading the I/O line levels requires the clock of the PIO Controller to be enabled, otherwise PIO_PDSR reads the levels present on the I/O line at the time the clock was disabled.

27.5.9 Input Glitch and Debouncing Filters

Optional input glitch and debouncing filters are independently programmable on each I/O line.

The glitch filter can filter a glitch with a duration of less than 1/2 peripheral clock and the debouncing filter can filter a pulse of less than 1/2 period of a programmable divided slow clock.

The selection between glitch filtering or debounce filtering is done by writing in the PIO Input Filter Slow Clock Disable Register (PIO_IFSCDR) and the PIO Input Filter Slow Clock Enable Register (PIO_IFSCER). Writing PIO_IFSCDR and PIO_IFSCER, respectively, sets and clears bits in the Input Filter Slow Clock Status Register (PIO_IFSCSR).

The current selection status can be checked by reading the PIO_IFSCSR.

  • If PIO_IFSCSR[i] = 0: The glitch filter can filter a glitch with a duration of less than 1/2 master clock period.
  • If PIO_IFSCSR[i] = 1: The debouncing filter can filter a pulse with a duration of less than 1/2 programmable divided slow clock period.

For the debouncing filter, the period of the divided slow clock is defined by writing in the DIV field of the Slow Clock Divider Debouncing Register (PIO_SCDR):

$$ \mathbf {t} _ {\text { div_slck }} = ((\text { DIV } + 1) \times 2) \times \mathbf {t} _ {\text { slck }} $$

When the glitch or debouncing filter is enabled, a glitch or pulse with a duration of less than 1/2 selected clock cycle (selected clock represents peripheral clock or divided slow clock depending on PIO_IFSCDR and PIO_IFSCER programming) is automatically rejected, while a pulse with a duration of one selected clock (peripheral clock or divided slow clock) cycle or more is accepted. For pulse durations between 1/2 selected clock cycle and one selected clock cycle, the pulse may or may not be taken into account, depending on the precise timing of its occurrence. Thus for a pulse to be visible, it must exceed one selected clock cycle, whereas for a glitch to be reliably filtered out, its duration must not exceed 1/2 selected clock cycle.

The filters also introduce some latencies, illustrated in Figure 27-4 and Figure 27-5.

The glitch filters are controlled by the Input Filter Enable Register (PIO_IFER), the Input Filter Disable Register (PIO_IFDR) and the Input Filter Status Register (PIO_IFSR). Writing PIO_IFER and PIO_IFDR respectively sets and clears bits in PIO_IFSR. This last register enables the glitch filter on the I/O lines.

When the glitch and/or debouncing filter is enabled, it does not modify the behavior of the inputs on the peripherals. It acts only on the value read in PIO_PDSR and on the input change interrupt detection. The glitch and debouncing filters require that the peripheral clock is enabled.

27.5.10 Input Edge/Level Interrupt

The PIO Controller can be programmed to generate an interrupt when it detects an edge or a level on an I/O line. The Input Edge/Level interrupt is controlled by writing the Interrupt Enable Register (PIO_IER) and the Interrupt Disable Register (PIO_IDR), which enable and disable the input change interrupt respectively by setting and clearing the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Mask Register (PIO_IMR). As input change detection is possible only by comparing two successive samplings of the input of the I/O line, the peripheral clock must be enabled. The Input Change interrupt is available regardless of the configuration of the I/O line, i.e., configured as an input only, controlled by the PIO Controller or assigned to a peripheral function.

By default, the interrupt can be generated at any time an edge is detected on the input.

Some additional interrupt modes can be enabled/disabled by writing in the Additional Interrupt Modes Enable Register (PIO_AIMER) and Additional Interrupt Modes Disable Register (PIO_AIMDR). The current state of this selection can be read through the Additional Interrupt Modes Mask Register (PIO_AIMMR).

These additional modes are:

  • Rising edge detection
  • Falling edge detection
  • Low-level detection
    • High-level detection

In order to select an additional interrupt mode:

  • The type of event detection (edge or level) must be selected by writing in the Edge Select Register (PIO_ESR) and Level Select Register (PIO_LSR) which select, respectively, the edge and level detection. The current status of this selection is accessible through the Edge/Level Status Register (PIO_ELSR).
  • The polarity of the event detection (rising/falling edge or high/low-level) must be selected by writing in the Falling Edge/Low-Level Select Register (PIO_FELLSR) and Rising Edge/High-Level Select Register (PIO_REHLSR) which allow to select falling or rising edge (if edge is selected in PIO_ELSR) edge or high- or low-level detection (if level is selected in PIO_ELSR). The current status of this selection is accessible through the Fall/Rise - Low/High Status Register (PIO_FRLHSR).

When an input edge or level is detected on an I/O line, the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Status Register (PIO_ISR) is set. If the corresponding bit in PIO_IMR is set, the PIO Controller interrupt line is asserted. The interrupt signals of the 32 channels are ORed-wired together to generate a single interrupt signal to the interrupt controller.

When the software reads PIO_ISR, all the interrupts are automatically cleared. This signifies that all the interrupts that are pending when PIO_ISR is read must be handled. When an Interrupt is enabled on a "level", the interrupt is generated as long as the interrupt source is not cleared, even if some read accesses in PIO_ISR are performed.

Example of interrupt generation on following lines:

  • Rising edge on PIO line 0
  • Falling edge on PIO line 1
  • Rising edge on PIO line 2
  • Low-level on PIO line 3
    • High-level on PIO line 4
    • High-level on PIO line 5
  • Falling edge on PIO line 6
  • Rising edge on PIO line 7
  • Any edge on the other lines

Table 27-2 provides the required configuration for this example.

Table 27-2: Configuration for Example Interrupt Generation

Configuration Description
Interrupt ModeAll the interrupt sources are enabled by writing 32'hFFFF_FFFF in PIO_IER.Then the additional interrupt mode is enabled for lines 0 to 7 by writing 32'h0000_00FF in PIO_AIMER.
Edge or Level DetectionLines 3, 4 and 5 are configured in level detection by writing 32'h0000_0038 in PIO_LSR.The other lines are configured in edge detection by default, if they have not been previously configured. Otherwise, lines 0, 1, 2, 6 and 7 must be configured in edge detection by writing 32'h0000_00C7 in PIO_ESR.
Falling/Rising Edge or Low/High-Level DetectionLines 0, 2, 4, 5 and 7 are configured in rising edge or high-level detection by writing 32'h0000_00B5 in PIO_REHLSR.The other lines are configured in falling edge or low-level detection by default if they have not been previously configured. Otherwise, lines 1, 3 and 6 must be configured in falling edge/low-level detection by writing 32'h0000_004A in PIO_FELLSR.

27.5.11 I/O Lines Lock

When an I/O line is controlled by a peripheral (particularly the Pulse Width Modulation Controller PWM), it can become locked by the action of this peripheral via an input of the PIO Controller. When an I/O line is locked, the write of the corresponding bit in PIO_PER, PIO_PDR, PIO_MDER, PIO_MDDR, PIO_PUDR, PIO_PUER, PIO_ABCDSR1 and PIO_ABCDSR2 is discarded in order to lock its configuration. The user can know at anytime which I/O line is locked by reading the PIO Lock Status Register (PIO_LOCKSR). Once an I/O line is locked, the only way to unlock it is to apply a hardware reset to the PIO Controller.

27.5.12 Programmable I/O Drive

It is possible to configure the I/O drive for pads PA0 to PA31. Refer to Section 54. Electrical Characteristics.

27.5.13 Programmable Schmitt Trigger

It is possible to configure each input for the Schmitt trigger. By default the Schmitt trigger is active. Disabling the Schmitt trigger is requested when using the QTouch® Library.

27.5.14 I/O Lines Programming Example

The programming example shown in Table 27-3 is used to obtain the following configuration:

  • 4-bit output port on I/O lines 0 to 3 (should be written in a single write operation), open-drain, with pull-up resistor
  • Four output signals on I/O lines 4 to 7 (to drive LEDs for example), driven high and low, no pull-up resistor, no pull-down resistor
  • Four input signals on I/O lines 8 to 11 (to read push-button states for example), with pull-up resistors, glitch filters and input change interrupts
  • Four input signals on I/O line 12 to 15 to read an external device status (polled, thus no input change interrupt), no pull-up resistor, no glitch filter
  • I/O lines 16 to 19 assigned to peripheral A functions with pull-up resistor
  • I/O lines 20 to 23 assigned to peripheral B functions with pull-down resistor
  • I/O lines 24 to 27 assigned to peripheral C with input change interrupt, no pull-up resistor and no pull-down resistor
  • I/O lines 28 to 31 assigned to peripheral D, no pull-up resistor and no pull-down resistor

27.5.15 Register Write Protection

To prevent any single software error from corrupting PIO behavior, certain registers in the address space can be write-protected by setting the WPEN bit in the PIO Write Protection Mode Register (PIO_WPMR).

If a write access to a write-protected register is detected, the WPVS flag in the PIO Write Protection Status Register (PIO_WPSR) is set and the field WPVSRC indicates the register in which the write access has been attempted.

The WPVS bit is automatically cleared after reading the PIO_WPSR.

The following registers can be write-protected:

  • PIO Enable Register
  • PIO Disable Register
    • PIO Output Enable Register
    • PIO Output Disable Register
    • PIO Input Filter Enable Register
    • PIO Input Filter Disable Register
    • PIO Multi-driver Enable Register
    • PIO Multi-driver Disable Register
    • PIO Pull-Up Disable Register
    • PIO Pull-Up Enable Register
    • PIO Peripheral ABCD Select Register 1
    • PIO Peripheral ABCD Select Register 2
    • PIO Output Write Enable Register
    • PIO Output Write Disable Register
    • PIO Pad Pull-Down Disable Register
  • PIO Pad Pull-Down Enable Register

27.6 Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO) User Interface

Each I/O line controlled by the PIO Controller is associated with a bit in each of the PIO Controller User Interface registers. Each register is 32-bit wide. If a parallel I/O line is not defined, writing to the corresponding bits has no effect. Undefined bits read zero. If the I/O line is not multiplexed with any peripheral, the I/O line is controlled by the PIO Controller and PIO_PSR returns one systematically.

Note 1: Reset value depends on the product implementation.
2: PIO_ODSR is Read-only or Read/Write depending on PIO_OWSR I/O lines.

3: Reset value of PIO_PDSR depends on the level of the I/O lines. Reading the I/O line levels requires the clock of the PIO Controller to be enabled, otherwise PIO_PDSR reads the levels present on the I/O line at the time the clock was disabled.
4: PIO_ISR is reset at 0x0. However, the first read of the register may read a different value as input changes may have occurred.
5: If an offset is not listed in the table it must be considered as reserved.

28.2 External Bus Interface (EBI)

28.2.1 Description

The External Bus Interface is designed to ensure the successful data transfer between several external devices and the ARM processor-based device. The External Bus Interface of the device consists of a Static Memory Controller (SMC).

This SMC is capable of handling several types of external memory and peripheral devices, such as SRAM, PSRAM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, LCD Module, NOR Flash and NAND Flash.

The SMC generates the signals that control the access to external memory devices or peripheral devices. It has four Chip Selects and a 26-bit address bus. The 16-bit data bus can be configured to interface with 8- or 16-bit external devices. Separate read and write control signals allow for direct memory and peripheral interfacing. Read and write signal waveforms are fully configurable.

The SMC can manage wait requests from external devices to extend the current access. The SMC is provided with an automatic slow clock mode. In slow clock mode, it switches from user-programmed waveforms to slow-rate specific waveforms on read and write signals.

The SMC embeds a NAND Flash Controller (NFC). The NFC can handle automatic transfers, sending the commands and address cycles to the NAND Flash and transferring the contents of the page (for read and write) to the NFC SRAM. It minimizes the CPU overhead.

The SMC includes programmable hardware error correcting code with one-bit error correction capability and supports two-bit error detection. In order to improve the overall system performance, the DATA phase of the transfer can be DMA-assisted. The External Data Bus can be scrambled/unscrambled by means of user keys.

The full description is available in Section 30. Static Memory Controller (SMC).

29. Multi-port DDR-SDRAM Controller (MPDDRC)

29.1 Description

The Multi-port DDR-SDRAM Controller (MPDDRC) is a multi-port memory controller. It comprises four slave AHB interfaces. All simultaneous accesses (four independent AHB ports) are interleaved to maximize memory bandwidth and minimize transaction latency due to DDR-SDRAM protocol.

The MPDDRC extends the memory capabilities of a chip by providing the interface to the external32-bit DDR-SDRAM device. The page size supports ranges from 2048 to 16384 rows and from 256 to 4096 columns. It supports dword (64-bit), word (32-bit), half-word (16-bit), and byte (8-bit) accesses.

The MPDDRC supports a read or write burst length of eight locations. This enables the command and address bus to anticipate the next command, thus reducing latency imposed by the DDR-SDRAM protocol and improving the DDR-SDRAM bandwidth. Moreover, MPDDRC keeps track of the active row in each bank, thus maximizing DDR-SDRAM performance, e.g., the application may be placed in one bank and data in other banks. To optimize performance, avoid accessing different rows in the same bank. The MPDDRC supports a CAS latency of 2, 3 and optimizes the read access depending on the frequency.

Self-refresh, Power-down and Deep Power-down modes minimize the consumption of the DDR-SDRAM device.

OCD (Off-chip Driver) and ODT (On-die Termination) modes are not supported.

29.2 Embedded Characteristics

  • Four advanced high performance bus (AHB) interfaces, management of all accesses maximizes memory bandwidth and minimizes transaction latency
  • Bus transfer: dword, word, half word, byte access
    • Supports 32-bit or 2x16-bit low-power DDR2-SDRAM-S4 (LPDDR2), DDR2-SDRAM, low-power DDR1-SDRAM (LPDDR1)
  • Numerous configurations supported

29.4 Product Dependencies, Initialization Sequence

29.4.1 Low-power DDR1-SDRAM Initialization

The initialization sequence is generated by software. Before starting the initialization sequence, the user must force the DDR_DQ and DDR_DQS input buffers to 'always on' by setting the FDQIEN and FDQSIEN bits in the SFR_DDRCFG register.

29.5 Functional Description

29.5.1 DDR-SDRAM Controller Write Cycle

The MPDDRC provides burst access or single access in Normal mode (MPDDRC_MR.MODE = 0). Whatever the access type, the MPDDRC keeps track of the active row in each bank, thus maximizing performance.

The DDR-SDRAM device is programmed with a burst length (bl) equal to 8. This determines the length of a sequential data input by the write command that is set to 8. The latency from write command to data input depends on the memory type, as shown in Table 29-1.

Table 29-1: CAS Write Latency

Memory Devices CAS Write Latency (CWL)
Low-power DDR1-SDRAM 1
Low-power DDR2-SDRAM 1
DDR2-SDRAM 2
Low-power DDR3-SDRAM 1/3

To initiate a single access, the MPDDRC checks if the page access is already open. If row/bank addresses match with the previous row/bank addresses, the controller generates a write command. If the bank addresses are not identical or if bank addresses are identical but the row addresses are not identical, the controller generates a precharge command, activates the new row and initiates a write command. To comply with DDR-SDRAM timing parameters, additional clock cycles are inserted between precharge/active ( t_RP ) commands and active/write ( t_RCD ) command. As the burst length is set to 8, in case of single access, it has to stop the burst, otherwise seven invalid values may be written. In case of the DDR-SDRAM device, the burst stop command is not supported for the burst write operation. Thus, in order to interrupt the write operation, the DM (data mask) input signal must be set to 1 to mask invalid data (see Figure 29-2 and Figure 29-4), and DQS must continue to toggle.

To initiate a burst access, the MPDDRC uses the transfer type signal provided by the master requesting the access. If the next access is a sequential write access, writing to the DDR-SDRAM device is carried out. If the next access is a write non-sequential access, then an automatic access break is inserted, the MPDDRC generates a precharge command, activates the new row and initiates a write command. To comply with DDR-SDRAM timing parameters, additional clock cycles are inserted between precharge/active ( t_RP ) commands and active/write ( t_RCD ) commands.

For the definition of timing parameters, refer to Section 29.7.4 MPDDRC Timing Parameter 0 Register.

Write accesses to the DDR-SDRAM device are burst oriented and the burst length is programmed to 8. It determines the maximum number of column locations that can be accessed for a given write command. When the write command is issued, eight columns are selected. All accesses for that burst take place within these eight columns, thus the burst wraps within these eight columns if a boundary is reached. These eight columns are selected by addr[13:3]. addr[2:0] is used to select the starting location within the block.

In case of incrementing burst (INCR/INCR4/INCR8/INCR16), the addresses can cross the 16-byte boundary of the DDR-SDRAM device. For example, when a transfer (INCR4) starts at address 0x0C, the next access is 0x10, but since the burst length is programmed to 8, the next access is at 0x00. Since the boundary is reached, the burst is wrapped. The MPDDRC takes this feature of the DDR-SDRAM device into account. In case of a transfer starting at address 0x04/0x08/0x0C or starting at address 0x10/0x14/0x18/0x1C, two write commands are issued to avoid wrapping when the boundary is reached. The last write command is subject to DM input logic level. If DM is registered high, the corresponding data input is ignored and the write access is not done. This avoids additional writing.

A write command can be followed by a read command. To avoid breaking the current write burst, t_WTR/t_WRD (bl/2 + 2 = 6 cycles) should be met. See Figure 29-6.

29.5.2 DDR-SDRAM Controller Read Cycle

The MPDDRC provides burst access or single access in Normal mode (MPDDRC_MR.MODE = 0). Whatever the access type, the MPDDRC keeps track of the active row in each bank, thus maximizing performance of the MPDDRC.

The DDR-SDRAM devices are programmed with a burst length equal to 8 which determines the length of a sequential data output by the read command that is set to 8. The latency from read command to data output depends on the memory type, as shown in Table 29-2. This value is programmed during the initialization phase (see Section 29.4 Product Dependencies, Initialization Sequence).

Table 29-2: CAS Read Latency

Memory Devices CAS Read Latency
Low-power DDR1-SDRAM 2/3
Low-power DDR2-SDRAM 3
DDR2-SDRAM 3
Low-power DDR3-SDRAM 3/6

To initiate a single access, the MPDDRC checks if the page access is already open. If row/bank addresses match with the previous row/bank addresses, the controller generates a read command. If the bank addresses are not identical or if bank addresses are identical but the row addresses are not identical, the controller generates a precharge command, activates the new row and initiates a read command. To comply with DDR-SDRAM timing parameters, additional clock cycles are inserted between precharge/active ( t_RP ) commands and active/read ( t_RCD ) command. After a read command, additional wait states are generated to comply with CAS latency. The MPDDRC supports a CAS latency of two to three (2 to 3 clock cycle delay). As the burst length is set to 8, in case of a single access or a burst access inferior to 8 data requests, it has to stop the burst, otherwise an additional seven or X values could be read. The Burst Stop command (BST) is used to stop output during a burst read. If the DDR2-SDRAM Burst Stop command is not supported by the JEDEC® standard, in a single read access, an additional seven unwanted data will be read.

To initiate a burst access, the MPDDRC checks the transfer type signal. If the next accesses are sequential read accesses, reading to the SDRAM device is carried out. If the next access is a read non-sequential access, then an automatic page break can be inserted. If the bank addresses are not identical or if bank addresses are identical but the row addresses are not identical, the controller generates a precharge command, activates the new row and initiates a read command. If page access is already open, a read command is generated.

To comply with DDR-SDRAM timing parameters, additional clock cycles are inserted between precharge/active ( t_RP ) commands and active/read ( t_RCD ) commands. The MPDDRC supports a CAS latency of two to three (2 to 3 clocks delay). During this delay, the controller uses internal signals to anticipate the next access and improve the performance of the controller. Depending on the latency, the MPDDRC anticipates two to three read accesses. In case of burst of specified length, accesses are not anticipated, but if the burst is broken (border, Busy mode, etc.), the next access is treated as an incrementing burst of unspecified length, and depending on the latency, the MPDDRC anticipates two to three read accesses.

For the definition of timing parameters, refer to Section 29.7.3 MPDDRC Configuration Register.

Read accesses to the DDR-SDRAM are burst oriented and the burst length is programmed to 8. The burst length determines the maximum number of column locations that can be accessed for a given read command. When the read command is issued, eight columns are selected. All accesses for that burst take place within these eight columns, meaning that the burst wraps within these eight columns if the boundary is reached. These eight columns are selected by addr[13:3]; addr[2:0] is used to select the starting location within the block.

In case of incrementing burst (INCR/INCR4/INCR8/INCR16), the addresses can cross the 16-byte boundary of the DDR-SDRAM device. For example, when a transfer (INCR4) starts at address 0x0C, the next access is 0x10, but since the burst length is programmed to 8, the next access is 0x00. Since the boundary is reached, the burst wraps. The MPDDRC takes into account this feature of the SDRAM device. In case of the DDR-SDRAM device, transfers start at address 0x04/0x08/0x0C. Two read commands are issued to avoid wrapping when the boundary is reached. The last read command may generate additional reading (1 read cmd = 4 DDR words).

To avoid additional reading, it is possible to use the burst stop command to truncate the read burst and to decrease power consumption. The DDR2-SDRAM devices do not support the burst stop command.

29.5.2.1 All Banks Auto Refresh

The All Banks Auto Refresh command performs a refresh operation on all banks. An auto refresh command is used to refresh the external device. Refresh addresses are generated internally by the DDR-SDRAM device and incremented after each auto-refresh automatically. The MPDDRC generates these auto-refresh commands periodically. A timer is loaded in the MPDDRC_RTR with the value that indicates the number of clock cycles between refresh cycles (see Section 29.7.2 MPDDRC Refresh Timer Register). When the MPDDRC initiates a refresh of the DDR-SDRAM device, internal memory accesses are not delayed. However, if the CPU tries to access the DDR-SDRAM device, the slave indicates that the device is busy. A refresh request does not interrupt a burst transfer in progress. This feature is activated by setting Per-bank Refresh bit (REF_PB) to 0 in the MPDDRC_RTR (see Section 29.7.2 MPDDRC Refresh Timer Register).

29.5.2.2 Per-bank Auto Refresh

The low-power DDR2-SDRAM embeds a new Per-bank Refresh command which performs a refresh operation on the bank scheduled by the bank counter in the memory device. The Per-bank Refresh command is executed in a fixed sequence order of round-robin type: "0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-0-1-...". The bank counter is automatically cleared upon issuing a RESET command or when exiting from Self-refresh mode, in order to ensure the synchronism between SDRAM memory device and the MPDDRC. The bank addressing for the Per-bank Refresh count is the same as established in the Single-bank Precharge command. This feature is activated by setting the Per-bank Refresh bit (REF_PB) to 1 in the MPDDRC_RTR (see Section 29.7.2 MPDDRC Refresh Timer Register). This feature masks the latency due to the refresh procedure. The target bank is inaccessible during the Per-bank Refresh cycle period (t _RFCpb ), however other banks within the device are accessible and may be addressed during the "Per-bank Refresh" cycle. During the REFpb operation, any bank other than the one being refreshed can be maintained in active state or accessed by a read or a write command. When the "Per-bank Refresh" cycle is completed, the affected bank will be in idle state.

29.5.2.3 Adjust Auto Refresh Rate

The low-power DDR2-SDRAM embeds an internal register, Mode Register 19 (Refresh mode). The content of this register allows to adjust the interval of auto-refresh operations according to temperature variation. This feature is activated by setting the Adjust Refresh bit [ADJ_REF] to 1 in the MPDDRC_RTR (see Section 29.7.2 MPDDRC Refresh Timer Register). When this feature is enabled, a Mode Register Read (MRR) command is performed every 16 × t_REF (average time between REFRESH commands). Depending on the read value, the auto refresh interval will be modified. In case of high temperature, the interval is reduced and in case of low temperature, the interval is increased.

29.5.3 Power Management

29.5.3.1 Self-refresh Mode

This mode is activated by writing a 1 to the Low-power Command bit (LPCB) in the MPDDRC Low-power Register (MPDDRC_LPR).

Self-refresh mode is used in Power-down mode, i.e., when no access to the DDR-SDRAM device is possible. In this case, power consumption is very low. In Self-refresh mode, the DDR-SDRAM device retains data without external clocking and provides its own internal clocking, thus performing its own auto refresh cycles. During the self-refresh period, CKE is driven low. As soon as the DDR-SDRAM device is selected, the MPDDRC provides a sequence of commands and exits Self-refresh mode.

The MPDDRC re-enables Self-refresh mode as soon as the DDR-SDRAM device is not selected. It is possible to define when Self-refresh mode is to be enabled by configuring the TIMEOUT field in the MPDDRC_LPR:

0: Self-refresh mode is enabled as soon as the DDR-SDRAM device is not selected.
1: Self-refresh mode is enabled 64 clock cycles after completion of the last access.
2: Self-refresh mode is enabled 128 clock cycles after completion of the last access.

This controller also interfaces the low-power DDR-SDRAM. To optimize power consumption, the Low Power DDR SDRAM provides programmable self-refresh options comprised of Partial Array Self Refresh (full, half, quarter and 1/8 and 1/16 array).

Disabled banks are not refreshed in Self-refresh mode. This feature permits to reduce the self-refresh current. In case of low-power DDR1-SDRAM, the Extended Mode register controls this feature. It includes Temperature Compensated Self-refresh (TSCR) and Partial Array Self-refresh (PASR) parameters and the drive strength (DS) (see Section 29.7.7 MPDDRC Low-power Register). In case of low-power DDR2-SDRAM, the Mode Registers 16 and 17 control this feature, including PASR Bank Mask (BK_MASK) and PASR Segment Mask (SEG_MASK) parameters and drives strength (DS) (see Section 29.7.10 MPDDRC Low-power DDR2 Low-power Register). These parameters are set during the initialization phase. After initialization, as soon as the PASR/DS/TCSR fields or BK_MASK/SEG_MASK/DS are modified, the memory device Extended Mode Register or Mode Registers 3/16/17 are automatically accessed. Thus if MPDDRC does not share an external bus with another controller, PASR/DS/TCSR and BK_MASK/SEG_MASK/DS bits are updated before entering Self-refresh mode or during a refresh command. If MPDDRC does share an external bus with another controller, PASR/DS/TCSR and BK_MASK/SEG_MASK/DS bits are also updated during a pending read or write access. This type of update depends on the UPD_MR bit (see Section 29.7.7 MPDDRC Low-power Register).

The low-power DDR1-SDRAM must remain in Self-refresh mode during the minimum of TRFC periods (see Section 29.7.5 MPDDRC Timing Parameter 1 Register), and may remain in Self-refresh mode for an indefinite period.

The DDR2-SDRAM must remain in Self-refresh mode during the minimum of t_CKE periods (see the memory device datasheet), and may remain in Self-refresh mode for an indefinite period.

The low-power DDR2-SDRAM must remain in Self-refresh mode for the minimum of t_CKESR periods (see the memory device datasheet) and may remain in Self-refresh mode for an indefinite period.

29.5.3.2 Power-down Mode

This mode is activated by writing a 10 to the Low-power Command bit (LPCB).

Power-down mode is used when no access to the DDR-SDRAM device is possible. In this mode, power consumption is greater than in Self-refresh mode. This state is similar to Normal mode (no Low-power mode/no Self-refresh mode), but the CKE pin is low and the input and output buffers are deactivated as soon the DDR-SDRAM device is no longer accessible. In contrast to Self-refresh mode, the DDR-SDRAM device cannot remain in Low-power mode longer than one refresh period (64 ms/32 ms). As no auto-refresh operations are performed in this mode, the MPDDRC carries out the refresh operation. For the low-power DDR-SDRAM devices, a NOP command must be generated for a minimum period defined in the TXP field of the MPDDRC Timing Parameter 1 Register (MPDDRC_TPR1). For DDR-SDRAM devices, a NOP command must be generated for a minimum period defined in the TXP field of MPDDRC_TPR1 (see Section 29.7.5 MPDDRC Timing Parameter 1 Register) and in the TXARD and TXARDS fields of MPDDRC_TPR2 (see Section 29.7.6 MPDDRC Timing Parameter 2 Register) for DDR2_SDRAM devices. In addition, low-power DDR-SDRAM and DDR-SDRAM must remain in Power-down mode for a minimum period corresponding to t_CKE , t_PD , etc. (see the memory device datasheet).

The exit procedure is faster than in Self-refresh mode. See Figure 29-16. The MPDDRC returns to Power-down mode as soon as the DDR-SDRAM device is not selected. It is possible to define when Power-down mode is enabled by configuring the TIMEOUT field in the MPDDRC_LPR:

0: Power-down mode is enabled as soon as the DDR-SDRAM device is not selected.

1: Power-down mode is enabled 64 clock cycles after completion of the last access.
2: Power-down mode is enabled 128 clock cycles after completion of the last access.

29.5.3.3 Deep Power-down Mode

The Deep Power-down mode is a feature of low-power DDR-SDRAM. When this mode is activated, all internal voltage generators inside the device are stopped and all data is lost.

Deep Power-down mode is activated by writing a 3 to the Low-power Command bit (LPCB). When this mode is enabled, the MPDDRC leaves Normal mode (MPDDRC_MR.MODE = 0) and the controller is frozen. The clock can be stopped during Deep Power-down mode by setting the CLK_FR field to 1.

Before enabling this mode, the user must make sure there is no access in progress. To exit Deep Power-down mode, the Low-power Command bit (LPCB) and clock frozen bit (CLK_FR) must be written to zero and the initialization sequence must be generated by software. See Section 29.4.1 Low-power DDR1-SDRAM Initialization or Section 29.4.3 Low-power DDR2-SDRAM Initialization.

29.5.3.4 Reset Mode

The Reset mode is a feature of DDR2-SDRAM. This mode is activated by writing a 3 to the Low-power Command bit (LPCB) and a one to the Clock Frozen Command bit (CLK_FR) in the MPDDRC Low-power Register.

When this mode is enabled, the MPDDRC leaves Normal mode (MPDDRC_MR.MODE = 0) and the controller is frozen. Before enabling this mode, the user must make sure there is no access in progress.

To exit Reset mode, the Low-power Command bit (LPCB) must be written to zero, the Clock Frozen Command bit (CLK_FR) must be written to zero and the initialization sequence must be generated by software (see Section 29.4.2 DDR2-SDRAM Initialization).

29.5.4 Multi-port Functionality

The DDR-SDRAM protocol imposes a check of timings prior to performing a read or a write access, thus decreasing system performance. An access to DDR-SDRAM is performed if banks and rows are open (or active). To activate a row in a particular bank, the last open row must be deactivated and a new row must be open. Two DDR-SDRAM commands must be performed to open a bank: Precharge command and Activate command with respect to t_RP timing. Before performing a read or write command, t_RCD timing must be checked.

This operation generates a significant bandwidth loss (see Figure 29-18).

Figure 29-18: t RP and t_RCD Timings

4 cycles before performing a read command

The multi-port controller is designed to mask these timings and thus improve the bandwidth of the system.

The MPDDRC is a multi-port controller whereby four masters can simultaneously reach the controller. This feature improves the bandwidth of the system because it can detect four requests on the AHB slave inputs and thus anticipate the commands that follow, Precharge command and Activate command in bank X during the current access in bank Y. This masks t_RP and t_RCD timings (see Figure 29-19). In the best case, all accesses are done as if the banks and rows were already open. The best condition is met when the four masters work in different banks. In the case of four simultaneous read accesses, when the four or eight banks and associated rows are open, the controller reads with a continuous flow and masks the CAS latency for each access. To allow a continuous flow, the read command must be set at 2 or 3 cycles (CAS latency) before the end of the current access. The arbitration scheme must be changed since the round-robin arbitration cannot be respected. If the controller anticipates a read access, and thus a master with a high priority arises before the end of the current access, then this master will not be serviced.

Figure 29-19: Anticipate Precharge/Activate Command in Bank 2 during Read Access in Bank 1

The arbitration mechanism reduces latency when a conflict occurs, that is when two or more masters try to access the DDR-SDRAM device at the same time.

The arbitration type is round-robin arbitration. This algorithm dispatches requests from different masters to the DDR-SDRAM device in a round-robin manner. If two or more master requests arise at the same time, the master with the lowest number is serviced first, then the others are serviced in a round-robin manner.

To avoid burst breaking and to provide the maximum throughput for the DDR-SDRAM device, arbitration must only take place during the following cycles:

  1. Idle cycles: when no master is connected to the DDR-SDRAM device.
  2. Single cycles: when a slave is currently performing a single access.
  3. End of Burst cycles: when the current cycle is the last cycle of a burst transfer.

- For bursts of defined length, predicted end of burst matches the size of the transfer.

- For bursts of undefined length, predicted end of burst is generated at the end of each four-beat boundary inside the INCR transfer.

  1. Anticipated Access: when an anticipated read access is done while the current access is not complete, the arbitration scheme can be changed if the anticipated access is not the next access serviced by the arbitration scheme.

29.5.5 Scrambling/Unscrambling Function

The external data bus can be scrambled in order to prevent intellectual property data located in off-chip memories from being easily recovered by analyzing data at the package pin level of either the microcontroller or the memory device.

The scrambling and unscrambling are performed on-the-fly without additional wait states.

The scrambling method depends on two user-configurable key registers, MPDDRC_KEY1 in the MPDDRC OCMS KEY1 Register and MPDDRC_KEY2 in the MPDDRC OCMS KEY2 Register. These key registers are only accessible in Write mode.

The key must be securely stored in a reliable non-volatile memory in order to recover data from the off-chip memory. Any data scrambled with a given key cannot be recovered if the key is lost.

The scrambling/unscrambling function can be enabled or disabled by programming the MPDDRC OCMS Register.

29.5.6 Register Write Protection

To prevent any single software error from corrupting MPDDRC behavior, certain registers in the address space can be write-protected by setting the WPEN bit in the MPDDRC Write Protection Mode Register (MPDDRC_WPMR).

If a write access to a write-protected register is detected, the WPVS flag in the MPDDRC Write Protection Status Register (MPDDRC_WPSR) is set and the field WPVSRC indicates the register in which the write access has been attempted.

The WPVS bit is automatically cleared after reading the MPDDRC_WPSR.

The following registers can be write-protected:

• MPDDRC Mode Register
• MPDDRC Refresh Timer Register
• MPDDRC Configuration Register
• MPDDRC Timing Parameter 0 Register
• MPDDRC Timing Parameter 1 Register
• MPDDRC Memory Device Register
• MPDDRC High Speed Register
• MPDDRC Low-power DDR2 Calibration and MR4 Register
• MPDDRC OCMS Register
• MPDDRC OCMS KEY1 Register
• MPDDRC OCMS KEY2 Register

29.6 Software Interface/SDRAM Organization, Address Mapping

The DDR-SDRAM address space is organized into banks, rows and columns. The MPDDRC maps different memory types depending on values set in the MPDDRC Configuration Register (see Section 29.7.3 MPDDRC Configuration Register). The tables that follow illustrate the relation between CPU addresses and columns, rows and banks addresses for 16-bit memory data bus widths and 32-bit memory data bus widths.

The MPDDRC supports address mapping in Linear mode.

Sequential mode is a method for address mapping where banks alternate at each last DDR-SDRAM page of the current bank.

Interleaved mode is a method for address mapping where banks alternate at each SDRAM end page of the current bank.

The MPDDRC makes the DDR-SDRAM device access protocol transparent to the user. The tables that follow illustrate the DDR-SDRAM device memory mapping seen by the user in correlation with the device structure. Various configurations are illustrated.

----COUNT
76543210
COUNT

This register can only be written if the WPEN bit is cleared in the MPDDRC Write Protection Mode Register.

COUNT: MPDDRC Refresh Timer Count

This 12-bit field is loaded into a timer which generates the refresh pulse. Each time the refresh pulse is generated, a refresh sequence is initiated.

The SDRAM devices require a refresh of all rows every 64 ms. The value to be loaded depends on the MPDDRC clock frequency (MCK: Master Clock) and the number of rows in the device.

For example, for an SDRAM with 8192 rows and a 100 MHz Master clock, the value of the COUNT field is configured: ((64× 10^-3) / 8192) × 100× 10^6 = 781 or 0x030D .

Low-power DDR2-SDRAM devices support Per Bank Refresh operation. In this configuration, average time between refresh command is 0.975 s. The value of the COUNT field is configured depending on this value. For example, the value of a 100 MHz Master clock refresh timer is 98 or 0x0062.

ADJ\_REF: Adjust Refresh Rate

Reset value is 0.

0: Adjust refresh rate is not enabled.

1: Adjust refresh rate is enabled.

This mode is unique to the low-power DDR2-SDRAM devices.

REF\_PB: Refresh Per Bank

Reset value is 0.

0: Refresh all banks during auto-refresh operation.

1: Refresh the scheduled bank by the bank counter in the memory interface.

This mode is unique to the low-power DDR2-SDRAM devices.

MR4\_VALUE: Content of MR4 Register

Reset value is 3.

This (read-only) field gives the content of MR4 register. This field is updated when MRR command is generated and Adjust Refresh Rate bit is enabled. Update is done when read value is different from MR4_VALUE.

LP-DDR2 JEDEC memory standards impose derating LP-DDR2 AC timings ( t_ACD , t_RC , t_RAS , t_RP and t_RRD ) when the value of MR4 is equal to 6. If the application needs to work in extreme conditions, the derating value must be added to AC timings before the power up sequence.

This mode is unique to the low-power DDR2-SDRAM devices.

COUNT_CAL

This register can only be written if the WPEN bit is cleared in the MPDDRC Write Protection Mode Register.

COUNT\_CAL: LPDDR2Calibration Timer Count

This 16-bit field is loaded into a timer which generates the calibration pulse. Each time the calibration pulse is generated, a ZQCS calibration sequence is initiated.

The ZQCS Calibration command is used to calibrate DRAM Ron values over PVT.

One method for calculating the interval between ZQCS commands gives the temperature ( T_driftrate ) and voltage ( V_driftrate ) drift rates that the SDRAM is subject to in the application. The interval could be defined by the following formula: ZQCorrection/(( T_Sens × T_driftrate ) + ( V_Sens × V_driftrate ))

Where T_Sens = (dRONdTM) and V_Sens = (dRONdVM) define the SDRAM temperature and voltage sensitivities.

For example, if T_Sens = 0.75%/C , V_Sens = 0.2%/mV , T_driftrate = 1C/sec and V_driftrate = 15mV/s , then the interval between ZQCS commands is calculated as:

1.5/((0.75 x 1) + (0.2 x 15)) = 0.4s

In this example, the devices require a calibration every 0.4s. The value to be loaded depends on average time between REFRESH commands, t_REF .

For example, for a device with the time between refresh of 7.8 s, the value of the Calibration Timer Count field is programmed: (0.4/7.8 x 10^-6 ) = 0xC852.

MR4\_READ: Mode Register 4 Read Interval

MR4_READ defines the time period between MR4 reads (for LPDDR2-SDRAM). The formula is (MR4_READ+1) × t_REF . The value to be loaded depends on the average time between REFRESH commands, t_REF . For example, for an LPDDR2-SDRAM with the time between refresh of 7.8 s, if the MR4_READ value is 2, the time period between MR4 reads is 23.4 s.

The LPDDR2-SDRAM devices feature a temperature sensor whose status can be read from MR4 register. This sensor can be used to determine an appropriate refresh rate. Temperature sensor data may be read from MR4 register using the Mode Register Read protocol. The Adjust Refresh Rate bit (ADJ_REF) in the Refresh Timer Register (MPDDRC_RTR) must be written to a one to activate these reads.

RDIV: Resistor Divider, Output Driver Impedance

Reset value is 2.

With the LPDDR2-SDRAM device, the RDIV field must be equal to the DS (Drive Strength) field of the MPDDRC Low-power DDR2 Low-power Register.

TZQIO: IO Calibration

This field defines the delay between an IO Calibration command and any valid command in number of DDRCK ^(1) clock cycles.

The number of cycles is between 0 and 7.

The TZQIO configuration code must be set correctly depending on the clock frequency using the following formula:

$$ \mathrm{TZQIO} = (\mathrm{DDRCK} \times 2 0 \mathrm{e} - 9) + 1 $$

where DDRCK frequency is in Hz.

For example, for a frequency of 176 MHz, the value of the TZQIO field is configured (176 ×10e6) × (20 ×10e-9) + 1.

30. Static Memory Controller (SMC)

30.1 Description

This Static Memory Controller (SMC) is capable of handling several types of external memory and peripheral devices, such as SRAM, PSRAM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, LCD Module, NOR Flash and NAND Flash.

The SMC generates the signals that control the access to external memory devices or peripheral devices. It has 4 Chip Selects and a 26-bit address bus. The 16-bit data bus can be configured to interface with 8- or 16-bit external devices. Separate read and write control signals allow for direct memory and peripheral interfacing. Read and write signal waveforms are fully parametrizable.

The SMC can manage wait requests from external devices to extend the current access. The SMC is provided with an automatic Slow Clock mode. In Slow Clock mode, it switches from user-programmed waveforms to slow-rate specific waveforms on read and write signals.

The SMC embeds a NAND Flash Controller (NFC). The NFC can handle automatic transfers, sending the commands and address cycles to the NAND Flash and transferring the contents of the page (for read and write) to the NFC SRAM. It minimizes the CPU overhead.

The SMC includes programmable hardware error correcting code with one-bit error correction capability and supports two-bit error detection. In order to improve the overall system performance, the DATA phase of the transfer can be DMA-assisted.

The External Data Bus can be scrambled/unscrambled by means of user keys.

30.7 Product Dependencies

30.7.1 I/O Lines

The pins used for interfacing the Static Memory Controller are multiplexed with the PIO lines. The programmer must first program the PIO controller to assign the Static Memory Controller pins to their peripheral function. If I/O lines of the SMC are not used by the application, they can be used for other purposes by the PIO controller.

30.7.2 Power Management

The SMC is clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), thus the programmer must first configure the PMC to enable the SMC clock.

30.7.3 Interrupt Sources

The SMC has an interrupt line connected to the interrupt controller. Handling the SMC interrupt requires programming the interrupt controller before configuring the SMC.

SMC 5

30.8 External Memory Mapping

The SMC provides up to 26 address lines, A[25:0]. This allows each chip select line to address up to 64 Mbytes of memory.

If the physical memory device connected on one chip select is smaller than 64 Mbytes, it wraps around and appears to be repeated within this space. The SMC correctly handles any valid access to the memory device within the page (see Figure 30-3).

A[25:0] is only significant for 8-bit memory; A[25:1] is used for 16-bit memory.

30.9 Connection to External Devices

30.9.1 Data Bus Width

A data bus width of 8 or 16 bits can be selected for each chip select. This option is controlled by the bit DBW in the SMC Mode Register (HSMC_MODE) for the corresponding chip select.

Figure 30-4 shows how to connect a 512 KB x 8-bit memory on NCS2. Figure 30-5 shows how to connect a 512 KB x 16-bit memory on NCS2.

Each chip select with a 16-bit data bus can operate with one of two different types of write access: Byte Write or Byte Select. This is controlled by the BAT bit of the HSMC_MODE register for the corresponding chip select.

30.9.2.1 Byte Write Access

Byte Write Access is used to connect 2 x 8-bit devices as a 16-bit memory, and supports one write signal per byte of the data bus and a single read signal.

Note that the SMC does not allow boot in Byte Write Access mode.

For 16-bit devices, the SMC provides NWR0 and NWR1 write signals for respectively Byte0 (lower byte) and Byte1 (upper byte) of a 16-bit bus. One single read signal (NRD) is provided.

Byte Select Access is used to connect one 16-bit device. In this mode, read/write operations can be enabled/disabled at Byte level. One Byte-select line per byte of the data bus is provided. One NRD and one NWE signal control read and write.

For 16-bit devices, the SMC provides NBS0 and NBS1 selection signals for respectively Byte0 (lower byte) and Byte1 (upper byte) of a 16-bit bus.

30.9.2.3 Signal Multiplexing

Depending on the Byte Access Type (BAT), only the write signals or the byte select signals are used. To save IOs at the external bus interface, control signals at the SMC interface are multiplexed. Table 30-5 shows signal multiplexing depending on the data bus width and the Byte Access Type.

For 16-bit devices, bit A0 of address is unused. When Byte Select Option is selected, NWR1 is unused. When Byte Write option is selected, NBS0 is unused.

NBS1_NWR1NBS1NWR1
A1A1A1A1

30.10 Standard Read and Write Protocols

In the following sections, the Byte Access Type is not considered. Byte select lines (NBS0 to NBS1) always have the same timing as the A address bus. NWE represents either the NWE signal in byte select access type or one of the byte write lines (NWR0 to NWR1) in byte write access type. NWR0 to NWR1 have the same timings and protocol as NWE. In the same way, NCS represents one of the NCS[0..3] chip select lines.

30.10.1 Read Waveforms

The read cycle is shown on Figure 30-7.

The read cycle starts with the address setting on the memory address bus, i.e.,:

{A[25:2], A1, A0} for 8-bit devices

{A[25:2], A1} for 16-bit devices

Figure 30-7: Standard Read Cycle
Microchip ATSAMA5D33 - Read Waveforms - 1

text_image MCK A[25:2] NBS0,NBS1, A0,A1 NRD NCS D[15:0] NRD_SETUP NRD_PULSE NRD_HOLD NCS_RD_SETUP NCS_RD_PULSE NCS_RD_HOLD NRD_CYCLE

30.10.1.1 NRD Waveform

The NRD signal is characterized by a setup timing, a pulse width and a hold timing:

  1. NRD_SETUP: The NRD setup time is defined as the setup of address before the NRD falling edge.
  2. NRD_PULSE: The NRD pulse length is the time between NRD falling edge and NRD rising edge.
  3. NRD HOLD: The NRD hold time is defined as the hold time of address after the NRD rising edge.

30.10.1.2 NCS Waveform

Similar to the NRD signal, the NCS signal can be divided into a setup time, pulse length and hold time:

  • NCS_RD_SETUP: The NCS setup time is defined as the setup time of address before the NCS falling edge.
  • NCS_RD_PULSE: The NCS pulse length is the time between NCS falling edge and NCS rising edge.
  • NCS_RD_HOLD: The NCS hold time is defined as the hold time of address after the NCS rising edge.

30.10.1.3 Read Cycle

The NRD_CYCLE time is defined as the total duration of the read cycle, that is, from the time where address is set on the address bus to the point where address may change. The total read cycle time is defined as:

NRD_CYCLE = NRD_SETUP + NRD_PULSE + NRD_HOLD,

as well as

NRD_CYCLE = NCS_RD_SETUP + NCS_RD_PULSE + NCS_RD_HOLD

All NRD and NCS timings are defined separately for each chip select as an integer number of Master Clock cycles. The NRD_CYCLE field is common to both the NRD and NCS signals, thus the timing period is of the same duration.

NRD_CYCLE, NRD_SETUP, and NRD_PULSE implicitly define the NRD_HOLD value as:

NRD HOLD = NRD_CYCLE - NRD SETUP - NRD PULSE

NRD_CYCLE, NCS_RD_SETUP, and NCS_RD_PULSE implicitly define the NCS_RD_HOLD value as:

NCS_RD_HOLD = NRD_CYCLE - NCS_RD_SETUP - NCS_RD_PULSE

30.10.2 Read Mode

As NCS and NRD waveforms are defined independently of one another, the SMC needs to know when the read data is available on the data bus. The SMC does not compare NCS and NRD timings to know which signal rises first. The READ_MODE parameter in the HSMC_MODE register of the corresponding chip select indicates which signal of NRD and NCS controls the read operation.

30.10.2.1 Read is Controlled by NRD (READ\_MODE = 1)

Figure 30-8 shows the waveforms of a read operation of a typical asynchronous RAM. The read data is available t_PACC after the falling edge of NRD, and turns to 'Z' after the rising edge of NRD. In this case, the READ_MODE must be set to 1 (read is controlled by NRD), to indicate that data is available with the rising edge of NRD. The SMC samples the read data internally on the rising edge of the Master Clock that generates the rising edge of NRD, whatever the programmed waveform of NCS.

text_image MCK A[25:2] NBS0,NBS1, A0, A1 NRD NCS D[15:0] tPACC Data Sampling

30.10.2.2 Read is Controlled by NCS (READ\_MODE = 0)

Figure 30-9 shows the typical read cycle. The read data is valid t_PACC after the falling edge of the NCS signal and remains valid until the rising edge of NCS. Data must be sampled when NCS is raised. In that case, the READ_MODE must be configured to 0 (read is controlled by NCS): the SMC internally samples the data on the rising edge of the Master Clock that generates the rising edge of NCS, whatever the programmed waveform of NRD.

30.10.3 Write Waveforms

The write protocol is similar to the read protocol. It is depicted in Figure 30-10. The write cycle starts with the address setting on the memory address bus.

30.10.3.1 NWE Waveforms

The NWE signal is characterized by a setup timing, a pulse width and a hold timing:

  • NWE_SETUP: The NWE setup time is defined as the setup of address and data before the NWE falling edge.
  • NWE_PULSE: The NWE pulse length is the time between NWE falling edge and NWE rising edge.
  • NWE_HOLD: The NWE hold time is defined as the hold time of address and data after the NWE rising edge.

The NWE waveforms apply to all byte-write lines in Byte Write Access mode: NWR0 to NWR3.

30.10.3.2 NCS Waveforms

The NCS signal waveforms in write operations are not the same as those applied in read operations, but are separately defined:

  • NCS_WR_SETUP: The NCS setup time is defined as the setup time of address before the NCS falling edge.
  • NCS_WR_PULSE: The NCS pulse length is the time between NCS falling edge and NCS rising edge.
  • NCS_WR_HOLD: The NCS hold time is defined as the hold time of address after the NCS rising edge.

text_image MCK A[25:2] NBS0, NBS1, A0, A1 NWE NCS NWE_SETUP NWE_PULSE NWE_HOLD NCS_WR_SETUP NCS_WR_PULSE NCS_WR_HOLD NWE_CYCLE

30.10.3.3 Write Cycle

The write cycle time is defined as the total duration of the write cycle, that is, from the time where address is set on the address bus to the point where address may change. The total write cycle time is equal to:

NWE_CYCLE = NWE_SETUP + NWE_PULSE + NWE_HOLD,

as well as

NWE_CYCLE = NCS_WR_SETUP + NCS_WR_PULSE + NCS_WR_HOLD

All NWE and NCS (write) timings are defined separately for each chip select as an integer number of Master Clock cycles. The NWE_CYCLE field is common to both the NWE and NCS signals, thus the timing period is of the same duration.

NWE_CYCLE, NWE_SETUP, and NWE_PULSE implicitly define the NWE_HOLD value as:

NWE_HOLD = NWE_CYCLE - NWE_SETUP - NWE_PULSE

NWE_CYCLE, NCS_WR_SETUP, and NCS_WR_PULSE implicitly define the NCS_WR_HOLD value as:

NCS_WR_HOLD = NWE_CYCLE - NCS_WR_SETUP - NCS_WR_PULSE

30.10.4 Write Mode

The WRITE_MODE parameter in the HSMC_MODE register of the corresponding chip select indicates which signal controls the write operation.

30.10.4.1 Write is Controlled by NWE (WRITE\_MODE = 1)

Figure 30-11 shows the waveforms of a write operation with WRITE_MODE set to 1. The data is put on the bus during the pulse and hold steps of the NWE signal. The internal data buffers are switched to Output mode after the NWE_SETUP time, and until the end of the write cycle, regardless of the programmed waveform on NCS.

30.10.4.2 Write is Controlled by NCS (WRITE\_MODE = 0)

Figure 30-12 shows the waveforms of a write operation with WRITE_MODE configured to 0. The data is put on the bus during the pulse and hold steps of the NCS signal. The internal data buffers are switched to Output mode after the NCS_WR_SETUP time, and until the end of the write cycle, regardless of the programmed waveform on NWE.

30.10.5 Coding Timing Parameters

All timing parameters are defined for one chip select and are grouped together in one register according to their type:

  • The HSMC_SETUP register groups the definition of all setup parameters: NRD_SETUP, NCS_RD_SETUP, NWE_SETUP, NCS_WR_SETUP

- The HSMC_PULSE register groups the definition of all pulse parameters: NRD_PULSE, NCS_RD_PULSE, NWE_PULSE, NCS_WR_PULSE

- The HSMC_CYCLE register groups the definition of all cycle parameters: NRD_CYCLE, NWE_CYCLE

Table 30-6 shows how the timing parameters are coded and their permitted range.

Table 30-7 gives the default value of timing parameters at reset.

WRITE_MODE1Write is controlled with NWE
READ_MODE1Read is controlled with NRD

30.10.7 Usage Restriction

The SMC does not check the validity of the user-programmed parameters. If the sum of SETUP and PULSE parameters is larger than the corresponding CYCLE parameter, this leads to an unpredictable behavior of the SMC.

30.10.7.1 For Read Operations

Null but positive setup and hold of address and NRD and/or NCS cannot be guaranteed at the memory interface because of the propagation delay of these signals through external logic and pads. When positive setup and hold values must be verified, then it is strictly recommended to program non-null values so as to cover possible skews between address, NCS and NRD signals.

30.10.7.2 For Write Operations

If a null hold value is programmed on NWE, the SMC can ensure a positive hold of address, byte select lines, and NCS signal after the rising edge of NWE. This is true for WRITE_MODE = 1 only. See Section 30.12.2 Early Read Wait State.

30.10.7.3 For Read and Write Operations

A null value for pulse parameters is forbidden and may lead to an unpredictable behavior.

In read and write cycles, the setup and hold time parameters are defined in reference to the address bus. For external devices that require setup and hold time between NCS and NRD signals (read), or between NCS and NWE signals (write), these setup and hold times must be converted into setup and hold times in reference to the address bus.

30.11 Scrambling/Unscrambling Function

The external data bus D[15:0] can be scrambled in order to prevent intellectual property data located in off-chip memories from being easily recovered by analyzing data at the package pin level of either the microcontroller or the memory device.

The scrambling and unscrambling are performed on-the-fly without additional wait states.

The scrambling method depends on two user-configurable key registers, HSMC_KEY1 and HSMC_KEY2. These key registers are only accessible in Write mode.

The key must be securely stored in a reliable non-volatile memory in order to recover data from the off-chip memory. Any data scrambled with a given key cannot be recovered if the key is lost.

The scrambling/unscrambling function is enabled or disabled by configuring specific bits in the HSMC_OCMS and the HSMC_TIMINGSx registers. The bit configuration values to enable memory scrambling are summarized in Table 30-8.

Table 30-8: Scrambling Function Bit Encoding

MemoriesBit Values
HSMC_OCMS.SMSE HSMCOCMS.SRSE HSMC_TIMINGSx.OCMS
Off-chip Memories 1 0 1
NAND Flash with NFC0 1 0

When the NAND Flash memory content is scrambled, the on-chip NFC SRAM page buffer associated for the transfer is also scrambled.

30.12 Automatic Wait States

Under certain circumstances, the SMC automatically inserts idle cycles between accesses to avoid bus contention or operation conflict.

30.12.1 Chip Select Wait States

The SMC always inserts an idle cycle between two transfers on separate chip selects. This idle cycle ensures that there is no bus contention between the de-activation of one device and the activation of the next one.

During chip select wait state, all control lines are turned inactive: NBS0 to NBS1, NWR0 to NWR1, NCS[0..3], and NRD lines. They are all set to 1.

Figure 30-13 illustrates a chip select wait state between access on Chip Select 0 and Chip Select 2.

30.12.2 Early Read Wait State

In some cases, the SMC inserts a wait state cycle between a write access and a read access to allow time for the write cycle to end before the subsequent read cycle begins. This wait state is not generated in addition to a chip select wait state. The early read cycle thus only occurs between a write and read access to the same memory device (same chip select).

An early read wait state is automatically inserted if at least one of the following conditions is valid:

  • if the write controlling signal has no hold time and the read controlling signal has no setup time (Figure 30-14).
  • in NCS Write Controlled mode (WRITE_MODE = 0), if there is no hold timing on the NCS signal and the NCS_RD_SETUP parameter is configured to 0, regardless of the Read mode (Figure 30-15). The write operation must end with an NCS rising edge. Without an Early Read Wait State, the write operation could not complete properly.
  • in NWE Controlled mode (WRITE_MODE = 1) and if there is no hold timing (NWE_HOLD = 0), the feedback of the write control signal is used to control address, data, chip select and byte select lines. If the external write control signal is not inactivated as expected due to load capacitances, an Early Read Wait State is inserted and address, data and control signals are maintained one more cycle. See Figure 30-16.

30.12.3 Reload User Configuration Wait State

The user may change any of the configuration parameters by writing the SMC user interface.

When detecting that a new user configuration has been written in the user interface, the SMC inserts a wait state before starting the next access. The so called "Reload User Configuration Wait State" is used by the SMC to load the new set of parameters to apply to next accesses.

The Reload Configuration Wait State is not applied in addition to the Chip Select Wait State. If accesses before and after re-programming the user interface are made to different devices (Chip Selects), then one single Chip Select Wait State is applied.

On the other hand, if accesses before and after writing the user interface are made to the same device, a Reload Configuration Wait State is inserted, even if the change does not concern the current Chip Select.

30.12.3.1 User Procedure

To insert a Reload Configuration Wait State, the SMC detects a write access to any HSMC_MODE register of the user interface. If only the timing registers are modified (HSMC_SETUP, HSMC_PULSE, HSMC_CYCLE registers) in the user interface, the user must validate the modification by writing the HSMC_MODE register, even if no change was made on the mode parameters.

30.12.3.2 Slow Clock Mode Transition

A Reload Configuration Wait State is also inserted when the Slow Clock Mode is entered or exited, after the end of the current transfer (see Section 30.15 Slow Clock Mode).

30.12.4 Read to Write Wait State

Due to an internal mechanism, a wait cycle is always inserted between consecutive read and write SMC accesses.

This wait cycle is referred to as a read to write wait state in this document.

This wait cycle is applied in addition to chip select and reload user configuration wait states when they are to be inserted. See Figure 30-13.

30.13 Data Float Wait States

Some memory devices are slow to release the external bus. For such devices, it is necessary to add wait states (data float wait states) after a read access:

  • before starting a read access to a different external memory
  • before starting a write access to the same device or to a different external one.

The Data Float Output Time ( t_DF ) for each external memory device is programmed in the TDF_CYCLES field of the HSMC_MODE register for the corresponding chip select. The value of TDF_CYCLES indicates the number of data float wait cycles (between 0 and 15) before the external device releases the bus, and represents the time allowed for the data output to go to high impedance after the memory is disabled.

Data float wait states do not delay internal memory accesses. Hence, a single access to an external memory with long t_DF will not slow down the execution of a program from internal memory.

The data float wait states management depends on the READ_MODE and the TDF_MODE bits of the HSMC_MODE register for the corresponding chip select.

30.13.1 READ\_MODE

Setting READ_MODE to 1 indicates to the SMC that the NRD signal is responsible for turning off the tri-state buffers of the external memory device. The Data Float Period then begins after the rising edge of the NRD signal and lasts TDF_CYCLES MCK cycles.

When the read operation is controlled by the NCS signal (READ_MODE = 0), the TDF_CYCLES field in HSMC_MODEx gives the number of MCK cycles during which the data bus remains busy after the rising edge of NCS.

Figure 30-17 illustrates the Data Float Period in NRD-controlled mode (READ_MODE = 1), assuming a data float period of two cycles (TDF_CYCLES = 2). Figure 30-18 shows the read operation when controlled by NCS (READ_MODE = 0) and the TDF_CYCLES parameter equals 3.

When the TDF_MODE of the HSMC_MODE register is set to 1 (TDF optimization is enabled), the SMC takes advantage of the setup period of the next access to optimize the number of wait states cycle to insert.

Figure 30-19 shows a read access controlled by NRD, followed by a write access controlled by NWE, on Chip Select 0. Chip Select 0 has been programmed with:

NRD_HOLD = 4; READ_MODE = 1 (NRD controlled)

NWE_SETUP = 3; WRITE_MODE = 1 (NWE controlled)

TDF_CYCLES = 6; TDF_MODE = 1 (optimization enabled).

30.13.3 TDF Optimization Disabled (TDF\_MODE = 0)

When optimization is disabled, TDF wait states are inserted at the end of the read transfer, so that the data float period ends when the second access begins. If the hold period of the read1 controlling signal overlaps the data float period, no additional TDF wait states will be inserted.

Figure 30-20, Figure 30-21 and Figure 30-22 illustrate the cases:

  • read access followed by a read access on another chip select,
  • read access followed by a write access on another chip select,
  • read access followed by a write access on the same chip select,
    with no TDF optimization.

30.14 External Wait

Any access can be extended by an external device using the NWAIT input signal of the SMC. The EXNW_MODE field of the HSMC_MODE register on the corresponding chip select must be set to either '10' (Frozen mode) or '11' (Ready mode). When the EXNW_MODE is set to '00' (disabled), the NWAIT signal is simply ignored on the corresponding chip select. The NWAIT signal delays the read or write operation in regards to the read or write controlling signal, depending on the Read and Write modes of the corresponding chip select.

30.14.1 Restriction

When one of the EXNW_MODE is enabled, it is mandatory to program at least one hold cycle for the read/write controlling signal. For that reason, the NWAIT signal cannot be used in Slow Clock Mode (Section 30.15 Slow Clock Mode).

The NWAIT signal is assumed to be a response of the external device to the read/write request of the SMC. NWAIT is then examined by the SMC in the pulse state of the read or write controlling signal. The assertion of the NWAIT signal outside the expected period has no impact on the SMC behavior.

30.14.2 Frozen Mode

When the external device asserts the NWAIT signal (active low), and after an internal synchronization of this signal, the SMC state is frozen, i.e., SMC internal counters are frozen, and all control signals remain unchanged. When the resynchronized NWAIT signal is deasserted, the SMC completes the access, resuming the access from the point where it was stopped. See Figure 30-23. This mode must be selected when the external device uses the NWAIT signal to delay the access and to freeze the SMC.

The assertion of the NWAIT signal outside the expected period is ignored as illustrated in Figure 30-24.

30.14.3 Ready Mode

In Ready mode (EXNW_MODE = 11), the SMC behaves differently. Normally, the SMC begins the access by down counting the setup and pulse counters of the read/write controlling signal. In the last cycle of the pulse phase, the resynchronized NWAIT signal is examined.

If asserted, the SMC suspends the access as shown in Figure 30-25 and Figure 30-26. After deassertion, the access is completed: the hold step of the access is performed.

This mode must be selected when the external device uses deassertion of the NWAIT signal to indicate its ability to complete the read or write operation.

If the NWAIT signal is deasserted before the end of the pulse, or asserted after the end of the pulse of the controlling read/write signal, it has no impact on the access length as shown in Figure 30-26.

30.14.4 NWAIT Latency and Read/Write Timings

There may be a latency between the assertion of the read/write controlling signal and the assertion of the NWAIT signal by the device. The programmed pulse length of the read/write controlling signal must be at least equal to this latency plus the 2 cycles of resynchronization + 1 cycle. Otherwise, the SMC may enter the hold state of the access without detecting the NWAIT signal assertion. This is true in Frozen mode as well as in Ready mode. This is illustrated on Figure 30-27.

When EXNW_MODE is enabled (ready or frozen), the user must program a pulse length of the read and write controlling signal of at least: minimal pulse length = NWAIT latency + 2 resynchronization cycles + 1 cycle

30.15 Slow Clock Mode

The SMC is able to automatically apply a set of "Slow Clock mode" read/write waveforms when an internal signal driven by the Power Management Controller is asserted because MCK has been configured to a very slow clock rate (typically 32 kHz clock rate). In this mode, the user-programmed waveforms are ignored and the Slow Clock mode waveforms are applied. This mode is provided so as to avoid reprogramming the User Interface with appropriate waveforms at very slow clock rate. When activated, the Slow mode is active on all chip selects.

30.15.1 Slow Clock Mode Waveforms

Figure 30-28 illustrates the read and write operations in Slow Clock mode. They are valid on all chip selects. Table 30-9 indicates the value of read and write parameters in Slow Clock mode.

30.15.2 Switching from (to) Slow Clock Mode to (from) Normal Mode

When switching from Slow Clock mode to Normal mode, the current Slow Clock mode transfer is completed at high clock rate, with the set of Slow Clock mode parameters. See Figure 30-29. The external device may not be fast enough to support such timings.

Figure 30-30 illustrates the recommended procedure to properly switch from one mode to the other.

30.16 Register Write Protection

To prevent any single software error that may corrupt SMC behavior, selected registers can be write-protected by setting the WPEN bit in the Write Protection Mode Register (HSMC_WPMR).

If a write access in a write-protected register is detected, then the WPVS flag in the Write Protection Status Register (HSMC_WPSR) is set and the field WPVSRC indicates in which register the write access has been attempted.

The WPVS flag is automatically reset after reading the HSMC_WPSR.

The following registers can be write-protected:

  • Setup Register
  • Pulse Register
  • Cycle Register
  • Timings Register
  • Mode Register

30.17 NFC Operations

30.17.1 NFC Overview

The NFC handles all the command, address and data sequences of the NAND low level protocol. An SRAM is used as an internal read/write buffer when data is transferred from or to the NAND.

30.17.2 NFC Control Registers

NAND Flash Read and NAND Flash Program operations can be performed through the NFC Command Registers. In order to minimize CPU intervention and latency, commands are posted in a command buffer. This buffer provides zero wait state latency. The detailed description of the command encoding scheme is explained below.

The NFC handles an automatic transfer between the external NAND Flash and the chip via the NFC SRAM. It is done via NFC Command Registers.

The NFC Command Registers are very efficient to use. When writing to these registers:

  • the address of the register (NFCADDR_CMD) is the command used
  • the data of the register (NFCDATA_ADDT) is the address to be sent to the NAND Flash

So, in one single access the command is sent and immediately executed by the NFC. Two commands can even be programmed within a single access (CMD1, CMD2) depending on the VCMD2 value.

The NFC can send up to five address cycles.

Figure 30-31 shows a typical NAND Flash Page Read Command of a NAND Flash Memory and correspondence with NFC Address Command Register.

For more details refer to Section 30.17.2.2 NFC Address Command.

Reading the NFC Command Register (to any address) will give the status of the NFC. This is especially useful to know if the NFC is busy, for example.

30.17.2.1 Building NFC Address Command Example

The base address is made of HOST_ADDR address.

// Build the Address Command (NFCADDR_CMD)
AddressCommand = (HOST_ADDR |

    NFCWR=0    // NFC Read Data from NAND Flash
    DATAEN=1    |    // NFC Data phase Enable.

    ACYCLE=5    |    // Number of address cycle.
    VCMD2=1    |    // CMD2 is sent after Address Cycles
    CMD2=0x30    |    // CMD2 = 30h
    CMD1=0x0)    // CMD1 = Read Command = 00h

// Set the Address for Cycle 0

// Write command with the Address Command built above
*AddressCommand = (Col. Add2    | // ADDR_CYCLE1
    Row Add1    | // ADDR_CYCLE2

30.17.3.1 NFC Timing Engine

When the NFC Command register is written, the NFC issues a NAND Flash Command and optionally performs a data transfer between the NFC SRAM and the NAND Flash device. The NFC timing engine ensures valid NAND Flash timings, depending on the set of parameters decoded from the address bus. These timings are defined in the HSMC_TIMINGS register.

For information on the timing used depending on the command, see Figure 30-36.

30.17.4 NFC SRAM

If the NFC is used to read and write data from and to the NAND Flash, the configuration depends on the page size (PAGESIZE field in HSMC_CFG register). See Table 30-10 to Table 30-14 for detailed mapping.

The NFC can handle the NAND Flash with a page size of 8 Kbytes or lower (such as 2 Kbytes, for example). In case of a 4 Kbyte or lower page size, the NFC SRAM can be split into two banks. The BANK bit in the HSMC_BANK register is used to select where NAND flash data are written or read. For an 8 Kbyte page size this field is not relevant.

Note that a “Ping-Pong” mode (write or read to a bank while the NFC writes or reads to another bank) is accessible with the NFC (using two different banks).

If the NFC is not used, the NFC SRAM can be used for a general purpose by the application.

30.17.4.2 NFC SRAM Access Prioritization Algorithm

When the NFC is reading from or writing to an NFC SRAM bank, the other bank is available. If an NFC SRAM access occurs when the NFC performs a read or write operation in the same bank, then the access is discarded. The write operation is not performed. The read operation returns undefined data. If this situation is encountered, the AWB status flag located in the NFC Status Register is raised and indicates that a shared resource access violation has occurred.

30.17.5 NAND Flash Operations

30.18 PMECC Controller Functional Description

The Programmable Multibit Error Correcting Code (PMECC) controller is a programmable binary BCH (Bose, Chaudhuri and Hocquenghem) encoder/decoder. This controller can be used to generate redundancy information for both SLC and MLC NAND devices. It supports redundancy for correction of 2, 4, 8, 12, or 24 errors per sector of data. The sector size is programmable and can be set to 512 bytes or 1024 bytes. The PMECC module generates redundancy at encoding time, when a NAND write page operation is performed. The redundancy is appended to the page and written in the spare area. This operation is performed by the processor. It moves the content of the PMECCX registers into the NAND flash memory. The number of registers depends on the selected error correction capability (see Table 30-15 Relevant Redundancy Registers). This operation shall be executed for each sector. At decoding time, the PMECC module generates the remainders of the received codeword by the minimal polynomials. When all remainders for a given sector are set to zero, no error occurred. When the remainders are different from zero, the codeword is corrupted and further processing is required.

The PMECC module generates an interrupt indicating that an error occurred. The processor must read the PMECC Interrupt Status Register (HSMC_PMECCISR). This register indicates which sector is corrupted.

The processor must execute the following decoding steps to find the error location within a sector:

  1. Syndrome computation.
  2. Finding the error location polynomial.
  3. Finding the roots of the error location polynomial.

All decoding steps involve finite field computation. It means that a library of finite field arithmetic must be available to perform addition, multiplication and inversion. These arithmetic operations can be performed through the use of a memory mapped look-up table, or direct software implementation. The software implementation presented is based on look-up tables. Two tables named gf_log and gf_antilog are used. If alpha is the primitive element of the field, then a power of alpha is in the field. Assuming that beta = alpha^ index, then beta belongs to the field, and gf_log(beta) = gf_log(alpha^ index) = index. The gf_antilog table provides exponent inverse of the element; if beta = alpha^ index, then gf_antilog(index) = beta.

The first step consists in the syndrome computation. The PMECC module computes the remainders and the software must substitute the power of the primitive element. The procedure implementation is given in Section 30.19.1 Remainder Substitution Procedure.

The second step is the most software intensive. It is the Berlekamp's iterative algorithm for finding the error-location polynomial. The procedure implementation is given in Section 30.19.2 Finding the Error Location Polynomial Sigma(x).

The Last step is finding the root of the error location polynomial. This step can be very software intensive. Indeed there is no straightforward method of finding the roots, except evaluating each element of the field in the error location polynomial. However, a hardware accelerator can be used to find the roots of the polynomial. The PMERRLOC module provides this kind of hardware acceleration.

30.18.1 MLC/SLC Write Page Operation Using PMECC

When an MLC write page operation is performed, the PMECC controller is configured with the NANDWR bit of the PMECCFG register set to one. When the NAND spare area contains file system information and redundancy (PMECCx), the spare area is error protected, then the SPAREEN bit of the PMECCFG register is set. When the NAND spare area contains only redundancy information, the SPAREEN bit is cleared.

When the write page operation is terminated, the user writes the redundancy in the NAND spare area. This operation can be done with DMA assistance.

30.18.1.1 SLC/MLC Write Operation with Spare Enable Bit Set

When the SPAREEN bit of the PMECCFG register is set, the spare area of the page is encoded with the stream of data of the last sector of the page. This mode is entered by setting the DATA bit of the PMECCTRL register. When the encoding process is over, the redundancy shall be written to the spare area in User mode. The USER bit of the PMECCTRL register must be set.

30.18.2.1 MLC/SLC Read Operation with Spare Decoding

When the spare area is protected, it contains valid data. As the redundancy may be included in the middle of the information stream, the user shall program the start address and the end address of the ECC area. The controller will automatically skip the ECC area. This mode is entered writing a 1 in the DATA bit of the PMECCTRL register. When the page has been fully retrieved from the NAND, the ECC area shall be read using the User mode, writing a 1 to the USER bit of the PMECCTRL register.

30.18.2.2 MLC/SLC Read Operation

If the spare area is not protected with the error correcting code, the redundancy area is retrieved directly. This mode is entered writing a 1 in the DATA bit of the PMECCTRL register. When AUTO field is set to one, the ECC is retrieved automatically; otherwise, the ECC must be read using the User mode.

30.19 Software Implementation

30.19.1 Remainder Substitution Procedure

The substitute function evaluates the remainder polynomial, with different values of the field primitive element. The addition arithmetic operation is performed with the exclusive OR. The multiplication arithmetic operation is performed through the gf_log and gf_antilog lookup tables.

The REM2NP1 and REMN2NP3 fields of the PMECCREMN registers contain only odd remainders. Each bit indicates whether the coefficient of the remainder polynomial is set to zero or not.

NB_ERROR_MAX defines the maximum value of the error correcting capability.

NB_ERROR defines the error correcting capability selected at encoding/decoding time.

NB_FIELD_ELEMENTS defines the number of elements in the field.

si[] is a table that holds the current syndrome value. An element of that table belongs to the field. This is also a shared variable for the next step of the decoding operation.

oo[] is a table that contains the degree of the remainders.

int substitute()
{
    int i;
    int j;
    for (i = 1; i < 2 * NB_ERROR_MAX; i++)
    {
    si[i] = 0;
    }
    for (i = 1; i < 2 * NB_ERROR; i++)
    {
    for (j = 0; j < ∞[i]; j++)
    {
    if (REM2NPX[i][j])
    {
    si[i] = gf_antilog[(i * j) % NB_FIELD_ELEMENTS]^si[i];
    }
    }
    }
    return 0;
} 

30.19.2 Finding the Error Location Polynomial Sigma(x)

The sample code below gives a Berlekamp iterative procedure for finding the value of the error location polynomial.

The input of the procedure is the si[] table defined in the remainder substitution procedure.

The output of the procedure is the error location polynomial named smu (sigma mu). The polynomial coefficients belong to the field. The smu[NB_ERROR+1]] is a table that contains all these coefficients.

NB_ERROR_MAX defines the maximum value of the error correcting capability.

NB_ERROR defines the error correcting capability selected at encoding/decoding time.

NB_FIELD_ELEMENTS defines the number of elements in the field.

30.19.3 Finding the Error Position

The output of the get_sigma() procedure is a polynomial stored in the smu[NB_ERROR+1]] table. The error positions are the roots of that polynomial. The degree of that polynomial is a very important information, as it gives the number of errors. PMERRLOC module provides hardware accelerator for that step.

30.19.3.1 Error Location

The PMECC Error Location controller provides hardware acceleration for determining roots of polynomials over two finite fields: GF(2^13) and GF(2^14). It integrates 24 fully programmable coefficients. These coefficients belong to GF(2^13) or GF(2^14). The coefficient programmed in the PMERRLOC{i} is the coefficient of X^i in the polynomial.

The search operation is started as soon as a write access is detected in the ELEN register and can be disabled writing to the ELDIS register. The ENINIT field of the ELEN register shall be initialized with the number of galois field elements to test. The set of the roots can be limited to a valid range.

When the PMECC engine is searching for roots, the BUSY field of the ELSR register remains asserted. An interrupt is asserted at the end of the computation, and the DONE bit of the PMECC Error Location Interrupt Status Register (HSMC_ELSIR) is set. The ERR_CNT field of the HSMC_ELISR indicates the number of errors. The error position can be read in the PMERRLOCX registers.

30.20 Static Memory Controller (SMC) User Interface

The SMC is programmed using the registers listed in Table 30-21. For each chip select, a set of four registers is used to program the parameters of the external device. In Table 30-21, "CS_number" denotes the chip select number. Sixteen bytes per chip select are required.

31. DMA Controller (DMAC)

31.1 Description

The DMA Controller (DMAC) is an AHB-central DMA controller core that transfers data from a source peripheral to a destination peripheral over one or more AMBA buses. One channel is required for each source/destination pair. In the most basic configuration, the DMAC has one master interface and one channel. The master interface reads the data from a source and writes it to a destination. Two AMBA transfers are required for each DMAC data transfer. This is also known as a dual-access transfer.

The DMAC is programmed via the APB interface.

31.2 Embedded Characteristics

• 3 AHB-Lite Master Interfaces
- DMA Module Supports the Following Transfer Schemes: Peripheral-to-Memory, Memory-to-Peripheral, Peripheral-to-Peripheral and Memory-to-Memory
- Source and Destination Operate independently on BYTE (8-bit), HALF-WORD (16-bit) and WORD (32-bit)
• Supports Hardware and Software Initiated Transfers
• Supports Multiple Buffer Chaining Operations
• Supports Incrementing/decrementing/fixed Addressing Mode Independently for Source and Destination
• Supports Programmable Address Increment/decrement on User-defined Boundary Condition to Enable Picture-in-Picture Mode
- Programmable Arbitration Policy, Modified Round Robin and Fixed Priority are Available
• Supports Specified Length and Unspecified Length AMBA AHB Burst Access to Maximize Data Bandwidth
• AMBA APB Interface Used to Program the DMA Controller
• 8 DMA Channels on DMAC0
• 8 DMA Channels on DMAC1
• 16 External Request Lines on DMAC0
• 22 External Request Lines on DMAC1
- Embedded FIFO
• Channel Locking and Bus Locking Capability
- Register Write Protection

31.3 DMA Controller Peripheral Connections

The DMA Controller handles the transfer between peripherals and memory and receives triggers from the peripherals listed in the following tables.

For each listed DMA channel number, the SIF and/or DIF fields in the Channel x Control B Register (DMAC_CTRLBx) must be programmed with a value compatible with the MATRIX "Master to Slave Access" definition provided in the "Bus Matrix (MATRIX)" section of the product datasheet. See Section 31.8.17 DMAC Channel x [x = 0..7] Control B Register (where x is the DMA Channel Number).

Depending on transfer descriptor location, the DSCR_IF field must be programmed with a value compatible with the MATRIX "Master to Slave Access" definition provided in the "Bus Matrix (MATRIX)" section of the product datasheet. See Section 31.8.15 DMAC Channel x [x = 0..7] Descriptor Address Register (where x is the DMA Channel Number).

31.3.1 DMA Controller 0

The DMA Controller 0 handles the transfer between peripherals and memory and receives triggers from the peripherals connected on APB0 (see Table31-1).

31.6 Functional Description

31.6.1 Basic Definitions

Source peripheral: Device on an AMBA layer from where the DMAC reads data, which is then stored in the channel FIFO. The source peripheral teams up with a destination peripheral to form a channel.

Destination peripheral: Device to which the DMAC writes the stored data from the FIFO (previously read from the source peripheral).

Memory: Source or destination that is always “ready” for a DMAC transfer and does not require a handshaking interface to interact with the DMAC.

Programmable Arbitration Policy: Modified Round Robin and Fixed Priority are available by means of the ARB_CFG bit in the Global Configuration Register (DMAC_GCFG). The fixed priority is linked to the channel number. The highest DMAC channel number has the highest priority.

Channel: Read/write datapath between a source peripheral on one configured AMBA layer and a destination peripheral on the same or different AMBA layer that occurs through the channel FIFO. If the source peripheral is not memory, then a source handshaking interface is assigned to the channel. If the destination peripheral is not memory, then a destination handshaking interface is assigned to the channel. Source and destination handshaking interfaces can be assigned dynamically by programming the channel registers.

Master interface: DMAC is a master on the AHB bus reading data from the source and writing it to the destination over the AHB bus.

Slave interface: The APB interface over which the DMAC is programmed. The slave interface in practice could be on the same layer as any of the master interfaces or on a separate layer.

Handshaking interface: A set of signal registers that conform to a protocol and handshake between the DMAC and source or destination peripheral to control the transfer of a single or chunk transfer between them. This interface is used to request, acknowledge, and control a DMAC transaction. A channel can receive a request through one of two types of handshaking interface: hardware or software.

Hardware handshaking interface: Uses hardware signals to control the transfer of a single or chunk transfer between the DMAC and the source or destination peripheral.

Software handshaking interface: Uses software registers to control the transfer of a single or chunk transfer between the DMAC and the source or destination peripheral. No special DMAC handshaking signals are needed on the I/O of the peripheral. This mode is useful for interfacing an existing peripheral to the DMAC without modifying it.

Transfer hierarchy: Figure 31-2 illustrates the hierarchy between DMAC transfers, buffer transfers, chunk or single, and AMBA transfers (single or burst) for non-memory peripherals. Figure 31-3 shows the transfer hierarchy for memory.

Buffer: A buffer of DMAC data. The amount of data (length) is determined by the flow controller. For transfers between the DMAC and memory, a buffer is broken directly into a sequence of AMBA bursts and AMBA single transfers.

For transfers between the DMAC and a non-memory peripheral, a buffer is broken into a sequence of DMAC transactions (single and chunks). These are in turn broken into a sequence of AMBA transfers.

Transaction: A basic unit of a DMAC transfer as determined by either the hardware or software handshaking interface. A transaction is only relevant for transfers between the DMAC and a source or destination peripheral if the source or destination peripheral is a non-memory device. There are two types of transactions: single transfer and chunk transfer.

  • Single transfer: The length of a single transaction is always 1 and is converted to a single AMBA access.
  • Chunk transfer: The length of a chunk is programmed into the DMAC. The chunk is then converted into a sequence of AHB access.DMAC executes each AMBA burst transfer by performing incremental bursts that are no longer than 16 beats.

DMAC transfer: Software controls the number of buffers in a DMAC transfer. Once the DMAC transfer has completed, then hardware within the DMAC disables the channel and can generate an interrupt to signal the completion of the DMAC transfer. It is then possible to reprogram the channel for a new DMAC transfer.

Single-buffer DMAC transfer: Consists of a single buffer.

Multi-buffer DMAC transfer: A DMAC transfer may consist of multiple DMAC buffers. Multi-buffer DMAC transfers are supported through buffer chaining (linked list pointers), auto-reloading of channel registers, and contiguous buffers. The source and destination can independently select which method to use.

- Linked lists (buffer chaining) – A descriptor pointer (DSCR) points to the location in system memory where the next linked list item (LLI) exists. The LLI is a set of registers that describe the next buffer (buffer descriptor) and a descriptor pointer register. The DMAC fetches the LLI at the beginning of every buffer when buffer chaining is enabled.

  • Replay – The DMAC automatically reloads the channel registers at the end of each buffers to the value when the channel was first enabled.
  • Contiguous buffers – Where the address of the next buffer is selected to be a continuation from the end of the previous buffer. Picture-in-Picture Mode: DMAC contains a Picture-in-Picture mode support. When this mode is enabled, addresses are automatically incremented by a programmable value when the DMAC channel transfer count reaches a user defined boundary.

Figure 31-4 illustrates a memory mapped image 4:2:2 encoded located at image_base_address in memory. A user defined start address is defined at Picture_start_address. The incremented value is set to memory_hole_size = image_width - picture_width, and the boundary is set to picture_width.

Channel locking: Software can program a channel to keep the AHB master interface by locking the arbitration for the master bus interface for the duration of a DMAC transfer, buffer, or chunk.

Bus locking: Software can program a channel to maintain control of the AMBA bus by asserting hmastlock for the duration of a DMAC transfer, buffer, or transaction (single or chunk). Channel locking is asserted for the duration of bus locking at a minimum.

31.6.2 Memory Peripherals

Figure 31-3 on page 493 shows the DMAC transfer hierarchy of the DMAC for a memory peripheral. There is no handshaking interface with the DMAC, and therefore the memory peripheral can never be a flow controller. Once the channel is enabled, the transfer proceeds immediately without waiting for a transaction request. The alternative to not having a transaction-level handshaking interface is to allow the DMAC to attempt AMBA transfers to the peripheral once the channel is enabled. If the peripheral slave cannot accept these AMBA transfers, it inserts wait states onto the bus until it is ready; it is not recommended that more than 16 wait states be inserted onto the bus. By using the handshaking interface, the peripheral can signal to the DMAC that it is ready to transmit/receive data, and then the DMAC can access the peripheral without the peripheral inserting wait states onto the bus.

31.6.3 Handshaking Interface

Handshaking interfaces are used at the transaction level to control the flow of single or chunk transfers. The operation of the handshaking interface is different and depends on whether the peripheral or the DMAC is the flow controller.

The peripheral uses the handshaking interface to indicate to the DMAC that it is ready to transfer/accept data over the AMBA bus. A non-memory peripheral can request a DMAC transfer through the DMAC using one of two handshaking interfaces:

• Hardware handshaking
- Software handshaking

Software selects between the hardware or software handshaking interface on a per-channel basis. Software handshaking is accomplished through memory-mapped registers, while hardware handshaking is accomplished using a dedicated handshaking interface.

31.6.3.1 Software Handshaking

When the slave peripheral requires the DMAC to perform a DMAC transaction, it communicates this request by sending an interrupt to the CPU or interrupt controller.

The interrupt service routine then uses the software registers to initiate and control a DMAC transaction. These software registers are used to implement the software handshaking interface.

The SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bit in the Channel Configuration Register (DMAC_CFGx) must be cleared to enable software handshaking.

When the peripheral is not the flow controller, then the Software Last Transfer Flag Register (DMAC_LAST) is not used, and the values in these registers are ignored.

- Chunk Transactions

Writing a '1' to the Software Chunk Transfer Request Register (DMAC_CREQ[2x]) starts a source chunk transaction request, where x is the channel number. Writing a '1' to the DMAC_CREQ[2x+1] register starts a destination chunk transfer request, where x is the channel number.

Upon completion of the chunk transaction, the hardware clears the DMAC_CREQ[2x] or DMAC_CREQ[2x+1].

- Single Transactions

Writing a '1' to the Software Single Request Register (DMAC_SREQ[2x]) starts a source single transaction request, where x is the channel number. Writing a '1' to the DMAC_SREQ[2x+1] register starts a destination single transfer request, where x is the channel number.

Upon completion of the chunk transaction, the hardware clears the DMAC_SREQ[x] or DMAC_SREQ[2x+1].

The software can poll the relevant channel bit in the DMAC_CREQ[2x]/DMAC_CREQ[2x+1] and DMAC_SREQ[x]/DMAC_SREQ[2x+1] registers. When both are 0, then either the requested chunk or single transaction has completed.

31.6.4 DMAC Transfer Types

A DMAC transfer may consist of single or multi-buffer transfers. On successive buffers of a multi-buffer transfer, DMAC_SADDRx/DMAC_DADDRx in the DMAC are reprogrammed using either of the following methods:

  • Buffer chaining using linked lists
  • Replay mode
  • Contiguous address between buffers

On successive buffers of a multi-buffer transfer, the DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx registers in the DMAC are reprogrammed using either of the following methods:

  • Buffer chaining using linked lists
  • Replay mode

When buffer chaining using linked lists is the multi-buffer method of choice, and on successive buffers, DMAC_DSCRx in the DMAC is reprogrammed using the following method:

• Buffer chaining using linked lists

A buffer descriptor (LLI) consists of the following registers: DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx, DMAC_CTRLAX, and DMAC_CTRLBx. These registers, along with DMAC_CFGx, are used by the DMAC to set up and describe the buffer transfer.

31.6.4.1 Multi-buffer Transfers

- Buffer Chaining Using Linked Lists

In this case, the DMAC reprograms the channel registers prior to the start of each buffer by fetching the buffer descriptor for that buffer from system memory. This is known as an LLI update.

DMAC buffer chaining is supported by using a descriptor pointer register (DMAC_DSCRx) that stores the address in memory of the next buffer descriptor. Each buffer descriptor contains the corresponding buffer descriptor (DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx, DMAC_CTRLAx DMAC_CTRLBx).

To set up buffer chaining, a sequence of linked lists must be programmed in memory.

DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx, DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx are fetched from system memory on an LLI update. The updated content of DMAC_CTRLAx is written back to memory on buffer completion. Figure 31-5 on page 496 shows how to use chained linked lists in memory to define multi-buffer transfers using buffer chaining.

The Linked List multi-buffer transfer is initiated by programming DMAC_DSCRx with DSCRx(0) (LLI(0) base address) different from zero. Other fields and registers are ignored and overwritten when the descriptor is retrieved from memory.

The last transfer descriptor must be written to memory with its next descriptor address set to 0.

- Descriptor Integrity Check

When the Descriptor Integrity Check is enabled, a cyclic redundancy check information is attached to the descriptor. When fetched from the memory, the descriptor is verified through the use of a CRC16-CCIT (0x1021 polynom) by the DMAC channel. If a CRC error is detected, then the DICERR flag is set in the DMAC Error, Buffer Transfer and Chained Buffer Transfer Status Register (DMAC_EBCISR). The CRC16 is computed from MSB to LSB. The BTSIZE field and DONE bit in DMAC_CTRLAx are ignored and cleared.

Note 1: USR means that the register field is manually programmed by the user.
2: CONT means that address are contiguous.
3: REP means that the register field is updated with its previous value. If the transfer is the first one, then the user must manually program the value.
4: Channel stalled is true if the relevant BTC interrupt is not masked.
5: LLI means that the register field is updated with the content of the linked list item.

  • Replay Mode of Channel Registers
    During automatic replay mode, the channel registers are reloaded with their initial values at the completion of each buffer and the new values used for the new buffer. Depending on the row number in Table 31-4, some or all of the DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx channel registers are reloaded from their initial value at the start of a buffer transfer.
  • Contiguous Address Between Buffers
    In this case, the address between successive buffers is selected to be a continuation from the end of the previous buffer. Enabling the source or destination address to be contiguous between buffers is a function of the fields DMAC_CTRLAx.SRC_DSCR, DMAC_CFGx.DST_REP, DMAC_CFGx.SRC_REP and DMAC_CTRLAx.DST_DSCR.
  • Suspension of Transfers Between Buffers
    At the end of every buffer transfer, an end of buffer interrupt is asserted if:
  • the channel buffer interrupt is unmasked, DMAC_EBCIMR.BTCx = '1', where x is the channel number.

Note: The Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt is generated at the completion of the buffer transfer to the destination.

At the end of a chain of multiple buffers, an end of linked list interrupt is asserted if:

- the channel end of the Chained Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt is unmasked, DMAC_EBCIMR.CBTCx = '1', when n is the channel number.

31.6.4.3 Ending Multi-buffer Transfers

All multi-buffer transfers must end as shown in Row 1 of Table 31-4 on page 498. At the end of every buffer transfer, the DMAC samples the row number, and if the DMAC is in Row 1 state, then the previous buffer transferred was the last buffer and the DMAC transfer is terminated.

For rows 9, 10 and 11 of Table 31-4 on page 498, (DMAC_DSCRx = 0 and DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO is set), multi-buffer DMAC transfers continue until the automatic mode is disabled by clearing the DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO bit. This bit should be programmed to zero in the end of buffer interrupt service routine that services the next-to-last buffer transfer. This puts the DMAC into Row 1 state.

For rows 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (DMAC_CRTLBx.AUTO cleared), the user must set up the last buffer descriptor in memory so that LLI.DMAC_DSCRx is set to 0.

31.6.5 Programming a Channel

Four registers, DMAC_DSCRx, DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CFGx, need to be programmed to set up whether single or multi-buffer transfers take place, and which type of multi-buffer transfer is used. The different transfer types are shown in Table 31-4 on page 498.

The "BTSIZE", "SADDR" and "DADDR" columns in the table indicate where the values of DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx, and DMAC_DSCRx are obtained for the next buffer transfer when multi-buffer DMAC transfers are enabled.

31.6.5.1 Programming Examples

• Single-buffer Transfer (Row 1)

  1. Read the ENAx bit in the DMAC Channel Handler Status Register (DMAC_CHSR) to choose a free (disabled) channel.
  2. Clear any pending interrupts on the channel from the previous DMAC transfer by reading the DMAC Error, Buffer Transfer and Chained Buffer Transfer Status Register (DMAC_EBCISR).

3. Program the following channel registers:

a) Write the starting source address in DMAC_SADDRx for channel x.
b) Write the starting destination address in DMAC_DADDRx for channel x.
c) Write the next descriptor address in DMA_DSCRx for channel x with 0x0.
d) Program DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CFGx according to Row 1 as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498. Program DMAC_CTRLBx with both AUTO bits cleared.
e) Write the control information for the DMAC transfer in DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx for channel x. For example, in the register, it is possible to program the following:

  • i. Set up the transfer type (memory or non-memory peripheral for source and destination) and flow control device by programming the FC field in DMAC_CTRLBx.
  • ii. Set up the transfer characteristics, such as:

  • Transfer width for the source in the SRC_WIDTH field.

  • Transfer width for the destination in the DST_WIDTH field.
  • Source AHB Master interface layer in the SIF field where source resides.
  • Destination AHB Master Interface layer in the DIF field where destination resides.
  • Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for source in SRC_INCR field.
  • Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for destination in DST_INCR field.

f) Write the channel configuration information into DMAC_CFGx for channel x.

  • i. Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a '1' activates the hardware handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests. Writing a '0' activates the software handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests.
  • ii. If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign a handshaking interface to the source and destination peripheral. This requires programming the SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.

g) If source Picture-in-Picture mode is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.SRC_PIP is enabled), program DMAC_SPIPx for channel x.
h) If destination Picture-in-Picture mode is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.DST_PIP is enabled), program DMAC_DPIPx for channel x.

  1. After the DMAC selected channel has been programmed, enable the channel by setting the ENAx bit in the DMAC Channel Handler Enable Register (DMAC_CHER), where x is the channel number. Make sure that the ENABLE bit (register bit 0) in DMAC_EN is set.
  2. Source and destination request single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data (assuming non-memory peripherals). The DMAC acknowledges at the completion of every transaction (chunk and single) in the buffer and carries out the buffer transfer.
  3. Once the transfer completes, the hardware sets the interrupts and disables the channel. At this time, you can either respond to the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt or Chained Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt, or poll for the DMAC_CHSR.ENAx bit until it is cleared by hardware, to detect when the transfer is complete.

- Multi-buffer Transfer with Linked List for Source and Linked List for Destination (Row 4)

  1. Read the DMAC_CHSR to choose a free (disabled) channel.

  2. Set up the chain of Linked List Items (otherwise known as buffer descriptors) in memory. Write the control information in the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx and LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx registers location of the buffer descriptor for each LLI in memory (see Figure 31-7 on page 502) for channel x. For example, in the register, it is possible to program the following:

a) Set up the transfer type (memory or non-memory peripheral for source and destination) and flow control device by programming the FC field in DMAC_CTRLBx.

b) Set up the transfer characteristics, such as:

- i. Transfer width for the source in the SRC WIDTH field.

- ii. Transfer width for the destination in the DST_WIDTH field.

- iii. Source AHB master interface layer in the SIF field where source resides.

- iv. Destination AHB master interface layer in the DIF field where destination resides.

- v. Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for source in SRC_INCR field.

- vi. Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for destination DST_INCR field.

  1. Write the channel configuration information into DMAC_CFGx for channel x.

a) Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a '1' activates the hardware handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests for the specific channel. Writing a '0' activates the software handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests.

b) If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign the handshaking interface to the source and destination peripheral. This requires programming the SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.

  1. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register locations of all LLI entries in memory (except the last) are set as shown in Row 4 of Table 31-4 on page 498. The LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register of the last Linked List Item must be set as described in Row 1 of Table 31-4. Figure 31-5 on page 496 shows a Linked List example with two list items.

  2. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_DSCRx register locations of all LLI entries in memory (except the last) are non-zero and point to the base address of the next Linked List Item.

  3. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_SADDRx/LLI.DMAC_DADDRx register locations of all LLI entries in memory point to the start source/destination buffer address preceding that LLI fetch.

  4. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit of the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx register locations of all LLI entries in memory are cleared.

  5. If source Picture-in-Picture mode is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.SRC_PIP is enabled), program DMAC_SPIPx for channel x.

  6. If destination Picture-in-Picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.DST_PIP is enabled), program DMAC_DPIPx for channel x.

  7. Clear any pending interrupts on the channel from the previous DMAC transfer by reading DMAC_EBCISR.

  8. Program DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CFGx according to Row 4 as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498.

  9. Program DMAC_DSCRx with DMAC_DSCRx(0), the pointer to the first Linked List item.

  10. Finally, enable the channel by setting the DMAC_CHER.ENAx bit, where x is the channel number. The transfer is performed.

  11. The DMAC fetches the first LLI from the location pointed to by DMAC_DSCRx(0).

Note: The LLI.DMAC_SADDRx, LLI.DMAC_DADDRx, LLI.DMAC_DSCRx, LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx and LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx registers are fetched. The DMAC automatically reprograms the DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CTRLAx channel registers from the DMAC_DSCRx(0).

  1. Source and destination request single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data (assuming non-memory peripheral). The DMAC acknowledges at the completion of every transaction (chunk and single) in the buffer and carries out the buffer transfer.

  2. Once the buffer of data is transferred, the DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out to system memory at the same location and on the same layer (DMAC_DSCRx.DSCR_IF) where it was originally fetched, that is, the location of the DMAC_CTRLAx register of the linked list item fetched prior to the start of the buffer transfer. Only DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out because only the DMAC_CTRLAx.BTSIZE and DMAC_CTRLAX.DONE bits have been updated by DMAC hardware. Additionally, the DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted when the buffer transfer has completed.

Note: Do not poll the DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit in the DMAC memory map. Instead, poll the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit in the LLI for that buffer. If the poll LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted, then this buffer transfer has completed. This LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit was cleared at the start of the transfer.

  1. The DMAC does not wait for the buffer interrupt to be cleared, but continues fetching the next LLI from the memory location pointed to by current DMAC_DSCRx and automatically reprograms the DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_DSCRx, DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx channel registers. The DMAC transfer continues until the DMAC determines that the

DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_DSCRx registers at the end of a buffer transfer match as described in Row 1 of Table 31-4 on page 498. The DMAC then knows that the previous buffer transferred was the last buffer in the DMAC transfer. The DMAC transfer might look like that shown in Figure 31-7.

Source Buffers Destination Buffers

If the user needs to execute a DMAC transfer where the source and destination address are contiguous but the amount of data to be transferred is greater than the maximum buffer size DMAC_CTRLAx.BTSIZE, then this can be achieved using the type of multi-buffer transfer as shown in Figure 31-8.

- Multi-buffer Transfer with Source Address Auto-reloaded and Destination Address Auto-reloaded (Row 10)

  1. Read the DMAC_CHSR to choose an available (disabled) channel.

  2. Clear any pending interrupts on the channel from the previous DMAC transfer by reading the interrupt status register. Program the following channel registers:

a) Write the starting source address in DMAC_SADDRx for channel x.

b) Write the starting destination address in DMAC_DADDRx for channel x.

c) Program DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CFGx according to Row 10 as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498. Program DMAC_DSCRx with 0.

d) Write the control information for the DMAC transfer in DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx for channel x. For example, in the register, it is possible to program the following:

- i. Set up the transfer type (memory or non-memory peripheral for source and destination) and flow control device by programming the FC field in DMAC_CTRLBx.

- ii. Set up the transfer characteristics, such as:

- Transfer width for the source in the SRC_WIDTH field.

- Transfer width for the destination in the DST_WIDTH field.

- Source AHB master interface layer in the SIF field where source resides.

- Destination AHB master interface layer in the DIF field where destination resides.

- Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for source in SRC_INCR field.

- Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for destination in DST_INCR field.

e) If source Picture-in-Picture mode is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.SPIP is enabled), program DMAC_SPIPx for channel x.

f) If destination Picture-in-Picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.DPIP), program DMAC_DPIPx for channel x.

g) Write the channel configuration information into DMAC_CFGx for channel x. Ensure that the reload bits, DMAC_CFGx.SRC_REP, DMAC_CFGx.DST_REP and DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO are enabled.

- i. Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the SRC_H2SEL/DST_h2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a '1' activates the hardware handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests for the specific channel. Writing a '0' activates the software handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests.

- ii. If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign handshaking interface to the source and destination peripheral. This requires programming the SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.

  1. After the DMAC selected channel has been programmed, enable the channel by setting the DMAC_CHER.ENAx bit where x is the channel number. Make sure that the ENABLE bit (register bit 0) in DMAC_EN is set.

  2. Source and destination request single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data (assuming non-memory peripherals). The DMAC acknowledges on completion of each chunk/single transaction and carries out the buffer transfer.

  3. When the buffer transfer has completed, the DMAC reloads DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_DADDRx and DMAC_CTRLAX. The hardware sets the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt. The DMAC then samples the row number as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498. If the DMAC is in Row 1, then the DMAC transfer has completed. The hardware sets the Chained Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt and disables the channel. You can either respond to the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt or Chained Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt, or poll for the DMAC_CHSR.ENAX until it is disabled, to detect when the transfer is complete. If the DMAC is not in Row 1, the next step is performed.

  4. The DMAC transfer proceeds as follows:

a) If the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt is unmasked (DMAC_EBCIMR.BTCx = '1', where x is the channel number), the hardware sets the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt when the buffer transfer has completed. It then stalls until the STALx bit of DMAC_CHSR is cleared by software, writing '1' to DMAC_CHER.KEEPx bit, where x is the channel number. If the next buffer is to be the last buffer in the DMAC transfer, then the buffer complete ISR (interrupt service routine) should clear the automatic mode bit in the DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO bit. This puts the DMAC into Row 1 as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498. If the next buffer is not the last buffer in the DMAC transfer, then the reload bits should remain enabled to keep the DMAC in Row 4.

b) If the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt is masked (DMAC_EBCIMR.BTCx = '0', where x is the channel number), the hardware does not stall until it detects a write to the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt Enable register DMAC_EBCIER register, but starts the next buffer transfer immediately. In this case, the software must clear the automatic mode bit in the DMAC_CTRLB to put the DMAC into ROW 1 of Table 31-4 on page 498 before the last buffer of the DMAC transfer has completed. The transfer is similar to that shown in Figure 31-10. The DMAC transfer flow is shown in Figure 31-11 on page 507.

- Multi-buffer Transfer with Source Address Auto-reloaded and Linked List Destination Address (Row 6)

  1. Read the DMAC_CHSR to choose a free (disabled) channel.
  2. Set up the chain of linked list items (otherwise known as buffer descriptors) in memory. Write the control information in the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx and DMAC_CTRLBx registers location of the buffer descriptor for each LLI in memory for channel x. For example, in the register, it is possible to program the following:

a) Set up the transfer type (memory or non-memory peripheral for source and destination) and flow control peripheral by programming the FC field in DMAC_CTRLBx.

b) Set up the transfer characteristics, such as:

  • i. Transfer width for the source in the SRC WIDTH field.
  • ii. Transfer width for the destination in the DST_WIDTH field.
  • iii. Source AHB master interface layer in the SIF field where source resides.
  • iv. Destination AHB master interface layer in the DIF field where destination resides.
  • v. Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for source in SRC_INCR field.
  • vi. Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for destination DST_INCR field.

  • Write the starting source address in DMAC_SADDRx for channel x.

Note: The values in the LLI.DMAC_SADDRx register locations of each of the Linked List Items (LLIs) set up in memory, although fetched during an LLI fetch, are not used.
4. Write the channel configuration information into DMAC_CFGx for channel x.

a) Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a '1' activates the hardware handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests for the specific channel. Writing a '0' activates the software handshaking interface source/destination requests.
b) If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign handshaking interface to the source and destination peripheral. This requires programming the SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.

  1. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register locations of all LLIs in memory (except the last one) are set as shown in Row 6 of Table 31-4 on page 498 while the LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register of the last Linked List item must be set as described in Row 1 of Table 31-4. Figure 31-5 on page 496 shows a Linked List example with two list items.
  2. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_DSCRx register locations of all LLIs in memory (except the last one) are non-zero and point to the next Linked List Item.
  3. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_DADDRx register locations of all LLIs in memory point to the start destination buffer address proceeding that LLI fetch.
  4. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit of the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx register locations of all LLIs in memory is cleared.
  5. If source Picture-in-Picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.SPIP is enabled), program DMAC_SPIPx for channel x.
  6. If destination Picture-in-Picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.DPIP is enabled), program DMAC_DPIPx for channel x.
  7. Clear any pending interrupts on the channel from the previous DMAC transfer by reading DMAC_EBCISR.
  8. Program DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CFGx according to Row 6 as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498.
  9. Program DMAC_DSCRx with DMAC_DSCRx(0), the pointer to the first Linked List item.
  10. Finally, enable the channel by setting the DMAC_CHER.ENAx bit, where x is the channel number. The transfer is performed. Make sure that the ENABLE bit (register bit 0) in DMAC_EN is set.
  11. The DMAC fetches the first LLI from the location pointed to by DMAC_DSCRx(0).

Note: The LLI.DMAC_SADDRx, LLI.DMAC_DADDRx, LLI.DMAC_DSCRx, LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx and LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx registers are fetched. The LLI.DMAC_SADDRx register, although fetched, is not used.

  1. Source and destination request single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data (assuming non-memory peripherals). DMAC acknowledges at the completion of every transaction (chunk and single) in the buffer and carries out the buffer transfer.
  2. The DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out to the system memory. The DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out to the same location on the same layer (DMAC_DSCRx.DSCR_IF) where it was originally fetched, that is the location of the DMAC_CTRLAx register of the linked list item fetched prior to the start of the buffer transfer. Only DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out, because only the DMAC_CTRLAx.BTSIZE and DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE fields have been updated by hardware within the DMAC. The LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted to indicate buffer completion. Therefore, the software can poll the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit of the DMAC_CTRLAx register in the LLi to ascertain when a buffer transfer has completed.

Note: Do not poll the DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit in the DMAC memory map. Instead, poll the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit in the LLI for that buffer. If the polled LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted, then this buffer transfer has completed. This LLI.DMAC_CTRLA.DONE bit was cleared at the start of the transfer.

  1. The DMAC reloads DMAC_SADDRx from the initial value. The hardware sets the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt. The DMAC samples the row number as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498. If the DMAC is in Row 1, then the DMAC transfer has completed. The hardware sets the Chained Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt and disables the channel. You can either respond to the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt or Chained Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt, or poll for the DMAC_CHSR.ENAx bit until it is cleared by hardware, to detect when the transfer is complete. If the DMAC is not in Row 1 as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498, the following step is performed.
  2. The DMAC fetches the next LLI from the memory location pointed to by the current DMAC_DSCRx register, and automatically reprograms the DMAC_DADDRx, DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_DSCRx channel registers. Note that the DMAC_SADDRx is not reprogrammed as the reloaded value is used for the next DMAC buffer transfer. If the next buffer is the last buffer of the DMAC transfer, then the DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_DSCRx registers just fetched from the LLI should match Row 1 of Table 31-4 on page 498. The DMAC transfer might look like that shown in Figure 31-12 on page 509.

  • Multi-buffer Transfer with Source Address Auto-reloaded and Contiguous Destination Address (Row 11)

The hardware sets the Chained Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt and disables the channel. You can either respond to the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt or Chained Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt, or poll for the DMAC_CHSR.ENAx bit until it is cleared by hardware, to detect when the transfer is complete.

If the next buffer is to be the last buffer in the DMAC transfer, then the buffer complete ISR (interrupt service routine) should clear the automatic mode bit, DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO. This puts the DMAC into Row 1 as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498. If the next buffer is not the last buffer in the DMAC transfer, then the automatic transfer mode bit should remain enabled to keep the DMAC in Row 11 as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498.
b) If the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt is masked (DMAC_EBCIMR.BTCx = '0', where x is the channel number), the hardware does not stall until it detects a write to the Buffer Transfer Completed Interrupt Enable register, but starts the next buffer transfer immediately. In this case, the software must clear the automatic mode bit, DMAC_CTRLBx.AUTO, to put the device into Row 1 of Table 31-4 on page 498 before the last buffer of the DMAC transfer has completed.

The transfer is similar to that shown in Figure 31-14.

- Multi-buffer DMAC Transfer with Linked List for Source and Contiguous Destination Address (Row 2)

  1. Read the DMAC_CHSR to choose a free (disabled) channel.

  2. Set up the linked list in memory. Write the control information in the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx and LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register location of the buffer descriptor for each LLI in memory for channel x. For example, in the register, it is possible to program the following:

a) Set up the transfer type (memory or non-memory peripheral for source and destination) and flow control device by programming the FC field in DMAC_CTRLBx.

b) Set up the transfer characteristics, such as:

- i. Transfer width for the source in the SRC_WIDTH field.

- ii. Transfer width for the destination in the DST_WIDTH field.

- iii. Source AHB master interface layer in the SIF field where source resides.

- iv. Destination AHB master interface layer in the DIF field where destination resides.

- v. Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for source in SRC_INCR field.

- vi. Incrementing/decrementing or fixed address for destination DST_INCR field.

  1. Write the starting destination address in DMAC_DADDRx for channel x.

Note: The values in the LLI.DMAC_DADDRx register location of each Linked List Item (LLI) in memory, although fetched during an LLI fetch, are not used.

  1. Write the channel configuration information into DMAC_CFGx for channel x.

a) Designate the handshaking interface type (hardware or software) for the source and destination peripherals. This is not required for memory. This step requires programming the SRC_H2SEL/DST_H2SEL bits, respectively. Writing a '1' activates the hardware handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests for the specific channel. Writing a '0' activates the software handshaking interface to handle source/destination requests.

b) If the hardware handshaking interface is activated for the source or destination peripheral, assign the handshaking interface to the source and destination peripherals. This requires programming the SRC_PER and DST_PER bits, respectively.

  1. Make sure that all LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register locations of the LLI (except the last) are set as shown in Row 2 of Table 31-4 on page 498, while the LLI.DMAC_CTRLBx register of the last Linked List item must be set as described in Row 1 of Table 31-4. Figure 31-5 on page 496 shows a Linked List example with two list items.

  2. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_DSCRx register locations of all LLIs in memory (except the last) are non-zero and point to the next Linked List Item.

  3. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_SADDRx register locations of all LLIs in memory point to the start source buffer address proceeding that LLI fetch.

  4. Make sure that the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit of the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx register locations of all LLIs in memory is cleared.

  5. If source Picture-in-Picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.SPIP is enabled), program DMAC_SPIPx for channel x.

  6. If destination Picture-in-Picture is enabled (DMAC_CTRLBx.DPIP is enabled), program DMAC_DPIPx for channel x.

  7. Clear any pending interrupts on the channel from the previous DMAC transfer by reading the interrupt status register.

  8. Program DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_CFGx according to Row 2 as shown in Table 31-4 on page 498

  9. Program DMAC_DSCRx with DMAC_DSCRx(0), the pointer to the first Linked List item.

  10. Finally, enable the channel by setting the DMAC_CHER.ENAx bit. The transfer is performed. Make sure that the ENABLE bit (register bit 0) in DMAC_EN is set.

  11. The DMAC fetches the first LLI from the location pointed to by DMAC_DSCRx(0).

Note: The LLI.DMAC_SADDRx, LLI.DMAC_DADDRx, LLI.DMAC_DSCRx and LLI.DMAC_CTRLA/Bx registers are fetched. The LLI.DMAC_DADDRx register location of the LLI, although fetched, is not used. The DMAC_DADDRx register in the DMAC remains unchanged.

  1. Source and destination requests single and chunk DMAC transactions to transfer the buffer of data (assuming non-memory peripherals). The DMAC acknowledges at the completion of every transaction (chunk and single) in the buffer and carries out the buffer transfer.

  2. Once the buffer of data is transferred, the DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out to the system memory at the same location and on the same layer (DMAC_DSCRx.DSCR_IF) where it was originally fetched, that is, the location of the DMAC_CTRLAx register of the linked list item fetched prior to the start of the buffer transfer. Only DMAC_CTRLAx register is written out because only the DMAC_CTRLAx.BTSIZE and DMAC_CTRLAX.DONE fields have been updated by DMAC hardware. Additionally, the DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted when the buffer transfer has completed.

Note: Do not poll the DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit in the DMAC memory map. Instead, poll the LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit in the LLI for that buffer. If the poll LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit is asserted, then this buffer transfer has completed. This LLI.DMAC_CTRLAx.DONE bit was cleared at the start of the transfer.

  1. The DMAC does not wait for the buffer interrupt to be cleared, but continues and fetches the next LLI from the memory location pointed to by the current DMAC_DSCRx register, then automatically reprograms the DMAC_SADDRx, DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_DSCRx channel registers. DMAC_DADDRx is left unchanged. The DMAC transfer continues until the DMAC samples the DMAC_CTRLAx, DMAC_CTRLBx and DMAC_DSCRx registers at the end of a buffer transfer match that described in Row 1 of Table 31-4 on page 498. The DMAC then knows that the previous buffer transferred was the last buffer in the DMAC transfer.

The DMAC transfer might look like that shown in Figure 31-16. Note that the destination address is decrementing.

31.6.6 Disabling a Channel Prior to Transfer Completion

Under normal operation, the software enables a channel by setting the DMAC_CHER.ENAx bit, and the hardware disables a channel on transfer completion by clearing the DMAC_CHSR.ENAx bit.

The recommended way for software to disable a channel without losing data is to use the SUSPx bit in conjunction with the EMPTx bit in the DMAC_CHSR.

  1. If the software chooses to disable a channel n prior to the DMAC transfer completion, then it can set the DMAC_CHER.SUSPx bit to instruct the DMAC to halt all transfers from the source peripheral. Therefore, the channel FIFO receives no new data.
  2. The software can now poll the DMAC_CHSR.EMPTx bit until it indicates that the channel n FIFO is empty, where n is the channel number.
  3. The DMAC_CHER.ENAx bit can then be cleared by software once the channel n FIFO is empty, where n is the channel number.

When DMAC_CTRLAx.SRC_WIDTH is less than DMAC_CTRLAx.DST_WIDTH and the DMAC_CHSRx.SUSPx bit is high, the DMAC_CHSRx.EMPTx is asserted once the contents of the FIFO does not permit a single word of DMAC_CTRLAx.DST_WIDTH to be formed. However, there may still be data in the channel FIFO but not enough to form a single transfer of DMAC_CTRLAx.DST_WIDTH width. In this configuration, once the channel is disabled, the remaining data in the channel FIFO are not transferred to the destination peripheral. It is permitted to remove the channel from the suspension state by setting the DMAC_CHDR.RESx bit. The DMAC transfer completes in the normal manner. n defines the channel number.

Note: If a channel is disabled by software, an active single or chunk transaction is not guaranteed to receive an acknowledgement.

31.6.6.1 Abnormal Transfer Termination

A DMAC transfer may be terminated abruptly by software by clearing the channel enable bit, DMAC_CHER.ENAx, where x is the channel number. This does not mean that the channel is disabled immediately after the DMAC_CHSR.ENAx bit is cleared over the APB interface. Consider this as a request to disable the channel. The DMAC_CHSR.ENAx must be polled and then it must be confirmed that the channel is disabled by reading back 0.

The software may terminate all channels abruptly by clearing the general enable bit in the DMAC Enable Register (DMAC_EN. ENABLE). Again, this does not mean that all channels are disabled immediately after the DMAC_EN. ENABLE bit is cleared over the APB slave interface. Consider this as a request to disable all channels. The DMAC_CHSR. ENABLE must be polled and then it must be confirmed that all channels are disabled by reading back '0'.

Note: If the channel enable bit is cleared while there is data in the channel FIFO, this data is not sent to the destination peripheral and is not present when the channel is re-enabled. For read sensitive source peripherals, such as a source FIFO, this data is therefore lost. When the source is not a read sensitive device (i.e., memory), disabling a channel without waiting for the channel FIFO to empty may be acceptable as the data is available from the source peripheral upon request and is not lost.

Note: If a channel is disabled by software, an active single or chunk transaction is not guaranteed to receive an acknowledgement.

31.6.7 Register Write Protection

To prevent any single software error from corrupting DMAC behavior, certain registers in the address space can be write-protected by setting the WPEN bit in the DMAC Write Protection Mode Register (DMAC_WPMR).

If a write access to a write-protected register is detected, the WPVS bit in the DMAC Write Protection Status Register (DMAC_WPSR) is set and the field WPVSRC indicates the register in which the write access has been attempted.

The WPVS bit is automatically cleared after reading the DMAC_WPSR.

The following registers can be write-protected:

• DMAC Global Configuration Register
- DMAC Enable Register
- DMAC Channel x [x = 0..7] Source Address Register
- DMAC Channel x [x = 0..7] Destination Address Register
- DMAC Channel x [x = 0..7] Descriptor Address Register
- DMAC Channel x [x = 0..7] Control A Register
- DMAC Channel x [x = 0..7] Control B Register
- DMAC Channel x [x = 0..7] Configuration Register

31.7 DMAC Software Requirements

  • There must not be any write operation to channel registers in an active channel after the channel enable is made HIGH. If any channel parameters must be reprogrammed, this can only be done after disabling the DMAC channel.
  • The channel registers DMAC_SADDRx and DMAC_DADDRx must be programmed with a byte, half-word and word aligned address depending on the source width and destination width.
  • After the software disables a channel by writing into the DMAC Channel Handler Disable Register, it must re-enable the channel only after it has polled a '0' in the DMAC Channel Handler Status Register. This is because the current AHB Burst must terminate properly.
  • If the value of field DMAC_CTRLAx.BTSIZE is configured to zero and the DMAC has been defined as the flow controller, the channel is automatically disabled.
  • Multiple transfers involving the same peripheral must not be programmed and enabled on different channels, unless this peripheral integrates several hardware handshaking interfaces.
  • When a peripheral has been defined as the flow controller, the targeted DMAC channel must be enabled before the peripheral. If this is not done and the first DMAC request is also the last transfer, the DMAC channel might miss a Last Transfer Flag.
  • When the AUTO bit is set to TRUE, the BTSIZE field is automatically reloaded from its previous value. BTSIZE must be initialized to a non-zero value if the first transfer is initiated with the AUTO bit set to TRUE, even if LLI mode is enabled, because the LLI fetch operation will not update this field.

32.6 Functional Description

The LCD module integrates the following digital blocks:

  • DMA Engine Address Generation (DEAG)—This block performs data prefetch and requests access to the AHB interface.
  • Input Overlay FIFO—stores the stream of pixels
  • Color Lookup Table (CLUT)—These 256 RAM-based lookup table entries are selected when the color depth is set to 1, 2, 4 or 8 bpp.
  • Chroma Upsampling Engine (CUE)—This block is selected when the input image sampling format is YUV (Y'CbCr) 4:2:0 and converts it to higher quality 4:4:4 image.
    • Color Space Conversion (CSC)—changes the color spare from YUV to RGB
  • Two Dimension Scaler (2DSC)—resizes the image
  • Global Alpha Blender (GAB)—performs programmable 256 level alpha blending
  • Output FIFO—stores the blended pixel prior to display
  • LCD Timing Engine—provides a fully programmable HSYNC-VSYNC interface

The DMA controller reads the image through the AHB master interface. The LCD controller engine formats the display data, then the GAB performs alpha blending if required, and writes the final pixel into the output FIFO. The programmable timing engine drives a valid pixel onto the LCD_DAT[23:0] display bus.

32.6.1 Timing Engine Configuration

32.6.1.1 Pixel Clock Period Configuration

The pixel clock (PCLK) generated by the timing engine is the source clock (SCLK) divided by the field CLKDIV in the LCDC_LCDCFG0 register. The source clock can be selected between the system clock and the 2x system clock with the field CLKSEL located in the LCDC_LCDCFG0 register.

Pixel Clock period formula:

$$ P C L K = \frac {S C L K}{C L K D I V 2 +} $$

The pixel clock polarity is also programmable.

32.6.1.2 Horizontal and Vertical Synchronization Configuration

The following fields are used to configure the timing engine:

• LCDC_LCDCFG1.HSPW
• LCDC_LCDCFG1.VSPW
• LCDC_LCDCFG2.VFPW
• LCDC_LCDCFG2.VBPW
• LCDC_LCDCFG3.HFPW
• LCDC_LCDCFG3.HBPW
• LCDC LCDCFG4.PPL
• LCDC_LCDCFG4.RPF

The polarity of output signals is also programmable.

32.6.1.3 Timing Engine Power Up Software Operation

The following sequence is used to enable the display:

  1. Configure LCD timing parameters, signal polarity and clock period.
  2. Enable the Pixel Clock by writing a one to bit LCDC_LCDEN.CLKEN.
  3. Poll bit LCDC_LCDSR.CLKSTS to check that the clock is running.
  4. Enable Horizontal and Vertical Synchronization by writing a one to bit LCDC_LCDEN.SYNCEN.
  5. Poll bit LCDC_LCDSR.LCDSTS to check that the synchronization is up.
  6. Enable the display power signal by writing a one to bit LCDC_LCDEN.DISPEN.
  7. Poll bit LCDC_LCDSR.DISPSTS to check that the power signal is activated.

The field LCDC_LCDCFG5.GUARDTIME is used to configure the number of frames before the assertion of the DISP signal.

32.6.1.4 Timing Engine Power Down Software Operation

The following sequence is used to disable the display:

  1. Disable the DISP signal by writing bit LCDC_LCDDIS.DISPDIS.
  2. Poll bit LCDC_LCDSR.DISPSTS to verify that the DISP is no longer activated.
  3. Disable the HSYNC and VSYNC signals by writing a one to bit LCDC_LCDDIS.SYNCDIS.
  4. Poll bit LCDC_LCDSR.LCDSTS to check that the synchronization is off.
  5. Disable the Pixel clock by writing a one to bit LCDC_LCDDIS.CLKDIS.

32.6.2 DMA Software Operations

32.6.2.1 DMA Channel Descriptor (DSCR) Alignment and Structure

The DMA Channel Descriptor (DSCR) must be aligned on a 64-bit boundary.

The DMA Channel Descriptor structure contains three fields:

  • DSCR.CHXADDR: Frame Buffer base address register
    • DSCR.CHXCTRL: Transfer Control register
    • DSCR.CHXNEXT: Next Descriptor Address register

Table 32-4: DMA Channel Descriptor Structure

System Memory Structure Field for Channel CHX
DSCR + 0x0 ADDR
DSCR + 0x4 CTRL
DSCR + 0x8 NEXT

32.6.2.2 Programming a DMA Channel

  1. Check the status of the channel by reading the CHXCHSR register.
  2. Write the channel descriptor (DSCR) structure in the system memory by writing DSCR.CHXADDR Frame base address, DSCR.CHXCTRL channel control and DSCR.CHXNEXT next descriptor location.
  3. If more than one descriptor is expected, the field DFETCH of DSCR.CHXCTRL is set to one to enable the descriptor fetch operation.
  4. Write the DSCR.CHXNEXT register with the address location of the descriptor structure and set DFETCH field of the DSCR.CHX-CTRL register to one.
  5. Enable the relevant channel by writing one to the CHEN field of the CHXCHER register.
  6. An interrupt may be raised if unmasked when the descriptor has been loaded.

32.6.2.3 Disabling a DMA channel

  1. Clearing the DFETCH bit in the DSCR.CHXCTRL field of the DSCR structure will disable the channel at the end of the frame.
  2. Setting the DSCR.CHXNEXT field of the DSCR structure will disable the channel at the end of the frame.
  3. Writing one to the CHDIS field of the CHXCHDR register will disable the channel at the end of the frame.
  4. Writing one to the CHRST field of the CHXCHDR register will disable the channel immediately. This may occur in the middle of the image.
  5. Polling CHSR field in the CHXCHSR register until the channel is successfully disabled.

32.6.2.4 DMA Dynamic Linking of a New Transfer Descriptor

  1. Write the new descriptor structure in the system memory.
  2. Write the address of the new structure in the CHXHEAD register.
  3. Add the new structure to the queue of descriptors by writing one to the A2QEN field of the CHXCHER register.
  4. The new descriptor will be added to the queue on the next frame.
  5. An interrupt will be raised if unmasked, when the head descriptor structure has been loaded by the DMA channel.

32.6.2.5 DMA Interrupt Generation

The DMA controller operation sets the following interrupt flags in the interrupt status register CHXISR:

• DMA field indicates that the DMA transfer is completed.
- DSCR field indicates that the descriptor structure is loaded in the DMA controller.

  • ADD field indicates that a descriptor has been added to the descriptor queue.
  • DONE field indicates that the channel transfer has terminated and the channel is automatically disabled.

32.6.2.6 DMA Address Alignment Requirements

When programming the DSCR.CHXADDR field of the DSCR structure the following requirement must be met.

32.6.6 Chrominance Upsampling Unit

Both 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 input formats are supported by the LCD module. In 4:2:2, the two chrominance components are sampled at half the sample rate of the luminance. The horizontal chrominance resolution is halved. When this input format is selected, the chrominance upsampling unit uses two chrominances to interpolate the missing component.

In 4:2:0, Cr and Cb components are subsampled at a factor of two vertically and horizontally. When this input mode is selected, the chrominance upsampling unit uses two and four chroma components to generate the missing horizontal and vertical components.

32.6.6.1 Chrominance Upsampling Algorithm

  1. Read line n from chrominance cache and interpolate [x/2,0] chrominance component filling the 1 x 2 kernel with line n. If the chrominance cache is empty, then fetch the first line from external memory and interpolate from the external memory. Duplicate the last chrominance at the end of line.
  2. Fetch line n+1 from external memory, write line n + 1 to chrominance cache, read line n from the chrominance cache. interpolate [0,y/2], [x/2,y/2] and [x, y/2] filling the 2x2 kernel with line n and n+1. Duplicate the last chrominance line to generate the last interpolated line.
  3. Repeat step 1 and step 2.

32.6.7 Line and Pixel Striding

The LCD module includes a mechanism to increment the memory address by a programmable amount when the end of line has been reached, this offset is referred to as XSTRIDE and is defined on a per overlay basis. It also contains a PSTRIDE field that allows a programmable jump at the pixel level. Pixel stride is the value from one pixel to the next.

32.6.7.1 Line Striding

When the end of line has been reached, the DMA address counter points to the next pixel address. The channel DMA address register is added to the XSTRIDE field, and then updated. If XSTRIDE is set to zero, the DMA address register remains unchanged. The XSTRIDE field of the channel configuration register is aligned to the pixel size boundary. The XSTRIDE field is a two's complement number. The following formula applies at the line boundary and indicates how the DMA controller computes the next pixel address. The function Sizeof() returns the number of bytes required to store a pixel.

$$ N e x t P i x e l A d d r e s s = C u r r e n t P i x e l A d d r e s s + S i z e o f (p i x e l) + X S T R I D E $$

32.6.7.2 Pixel Striding

The DMA channel engine may optionally fetch non contiguous pixels. The channel DMA address register is added to the PSTRIDE field and then updated. If PSTRIDE is set to zero, the DMA address register remains unchanged and pixels are contiguous. The PSTRIDE field of the channel configuration register is aligned to the pixel size boundary. The PSTRIDE is a two's complement number. The following formula applies at the pixel boundary and indicates how the DMA controller computes the next pixel address. The function Sizeof() returns the number of bytes required to store a pixel.

$$ N e x t P i x e l A d d r e s s = C u r r e n t P i x e l A d d r e s s + S i z e o f (p i x e l) + P S T R I D E $$

32.6.8 Color Space Conversion Unit

The color space conversion unit converts Luminance Chrominance color space into the Red Green Blue color space. The conversion matrix is defined below and is fully programmable through the LCD user interface.

$$ \left[ \begin{array}{l} R \ G \ B \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array}{l l l} C S C R Y & C S C R U & C S C R V \ C S C G Y & C S C G U & C S C G V \ C S C B Y & C S C B U & C S C B V \end{array} \right] \cdot \left[ \begin{array}{l} Y - Y o f f \ C b - C b o f f \ C r - C r o f f \end{array} \right] $$

Color space conversion coefficients are defined with the following equation:

$$ C S C _ {i j} = \frac {1}{2 ^ {7}} \cdot \left[ - 2 ^ {9} \cdot c _ {9} + \sum_ {n = 0} ^ {8} c _ {n} \cdot 2 ^ {n} \right] $$

Color space conversion coefficients are defined with one sign bit, 2 integer bits and 7 fractional bits. The range of the CSCij coefficients is defined below with a step of 1/128.

$$ - 4 \leq C S C _ {i j} \leq 3. 9 9 2 1 8 7 5 $$

Additionally, a set scaling factor {Yoff, Cboff, Croff} can be applied.

32.6.9 Two Dimension Scaler

The High End Overlay (HEO) data path includes a hardware scaler that allows an image resize in both horizontal and vertical directions.

32.6.9.1 Video Scaler Description

The scaling operation is based on a vertical and horizontal resampling algorithm. The sampling rate of the original image is increased when the video is upscaled, and decreased when the video is downscaled. A Vertical resampler is used to perform a vertical interpolation by a factor of vI , and a decimation by a factor of vD . A Horizontal resampler is used to perform a vertical interpolation by a factor of hI , and a decimation by a factor of hD . Both horizontal and vertical low pass filters are designed to minimize the aliasing effect. The frequency response of the low pass filter has the following characteristics:

$$ H \omega (\neq \left{ \begin{array}{c c} I & \text {when} 0 \omega \text {in} n \ & 0 \quad \text {otherwise} \end{array} \right. \quad \frac {\pi}{I} \frac {\pi}{D} (, \quad) \leq \quad \leq $$

Taking into account the linear phase condition and anticipating the filter length M, the desired frequency response is modified.

$$ H \omega (\neq \left{ \begin{array}{l l} I e ^ {- j \omega \frac {M}{2}} & \text { when } 0 \omega | n | n \ & 0 \quad \text { otherwise } \end{array} \right. \quad \frac {\pi}{I} \frac {\pi}{D} (, \mathbf {\nabla}) \leq \quad \leq $$

The impulse response of the low pass filter defined is:

$$ h (n) = \left{ \begin{array}{c} I \times \frac {\omega_ {c}}{\pi} \text {when} n = 0 \ I \times \frac {\omega_ {c}}{\pi} \times \frac {\sin (\omega_ {c} n)}{\omega_ {c} n} \text {otherwise} \end{array} \right. $$

Or, for the filter of length M:

$$ h (n) = \left{ \begin{array}{c} I \times \frac {\omega_ {c}}{\pi} \text {when} n = \frac {M}{2} \ I \times \frac {\omega_ {c}}{\pi} \times \frac {\sin \left(\omega_ {c} \left(n - \frac {M}{2}\right)\right)}{\omega_ {c} \left(n - \frac {M}{2}\right)} \text {otherwise} \end{array} \right. $$

This ideal filter is non-causal and cannot be realized. The unit sample response h(n) is infinite in duration and must be truncated depending on the expected length M of the filter. This truncation is equivalent to the multiplication of the impulse response by a window function w(n) .

The horizontal resampler includes an 8-phase 5-tap filter equivalent to a 40-tap FIR described in Figure 32-7. The vertical resampler includes an 8-phase 3-tap filter equivalent to a 24-tap FIR described in Figure 32-8.

32.6.9.2 Horizontal Scaler

The XMEMSIZE field of the LCDC_HEOCFG4 register indicates the horizontal size minus one of the image in the system memory. The XSIZE field of the LCDC_HEOCFG3 register contains the horizontal size minus one of the window. The SCALEN bit of the LCDC_HEOCFG13 register is set to one. The scaling factor is programmed in the XFACTOR field of the LCDC_HEOCFG13 register. Use the following algorithm to find the XFACTOR value:

$$ X F A C T O R _ {1 s t} = f l o o r \left(\frac {8 \times 2 5 6 \times X M E M S I Z E - 2 5 6 \times X P H I D E F}{X S I Z E}\right) $$

$$ X F A C T O R _ {1 s t} = X F A C T O R _ {1 s t} + 1 $$

$$ X M E M S I Z E _ {m a x} = f l o o r \left(\frac {X F A C T O R _ {1 s t} \times X S I Z E + 2 5 6 \times X P H I D E F}{2 0 4 8}\right) $$

$$ \left{ \begin{array}{c c} X F A C T O R = X F A C T O R _ {1 s t} - 1 & \text { when } (X M E M S I Z E _ {m a x} > X M E M S I Z E) \ X F A C T O R = X F A C T O R _ {1 s t} & \text { otherwise } \end{array} \right. $$

32.6.9.3 Vertical Scaler

The YMEMSIZE field of the LCDC_HEOCFG4 register indicates the vertical size minus one of the image in the system memory. The YSIZE field of the LCDC_HEOCFG3 register contains the vertical size minus one of the window. The SCALEN bit of the LCDC_HEOCFG13 register is set to one. The scaling factor is programmed in the YFACTOR field of the LCDC_HEOCFG13 register.

$$ Y F A C T O R _ {1 s t} = f l o o r \left(\frac {8 \times 2 5 6 \times Y M E M S I Z E - 2 5 6 \times Y P H I D E F}{Y S I Z E}\right) $$

$$ Y F A C T O R _ {1 s t} = Y F A C T O R _ {1 s t} + 1 $$

$$ Y M E M S I Z E _ {m a x} = f l o o r \left(\frac {Y F A C T O R _ {1 s t} \times Y S I Z E + 2 5 6 \times Y P H I D E F}{2 0 4 8}\right) $$

32.6.10 Hardware Cursor

The LCD module integrates a hardware cursor database. This layer features only a minimal set of color among 1, 2, 4 and 8 bpp palletized and 16 bpp to 32 bpp true color. The cursor size is limited to 128 x 128 pixels.

32.6.11 Color Combine Unit

32.6.11.1 Window Overlay

The LCD module provides hardware support for multiple "overlay plane" that can be used to display windows on top of the image without destroying the image located below. The overlay image can use any color depth. Using the overlay alleviates the need to re-render the occluded portion of the image. When pixels are combined together through the alpha blending unit, a new color is created. This new pixel is called an iterated pixel and is passed to the next blending stage. Then, this pixel may be combined again with another pixel. The VIDPRI bit located in the LCDC_HEOCFG12 register configures the video priority algorithm used to display the layers. When the VIDPRI bit is cleared, the OVR1 layer is located above the HEO layer. When the VIDPRI bit is set, OVR1 is located below the HEO layer.

32.6.11.2 Base Layer with Window Overlay Optimization

When the base layer is combined with at least one active overlay, the whole base layer frame is retrieved from the memory though it is not visible. A set of registers is used to disable the Base DMA when this condition is met. These registers are the following:

• LCDC_BASECFG5:

- field DISCXPOS (Discard Area Horizontal Position)

- field DISCYPOS (Discard Area Vertical Position)

• LCDC_BASECFG6:

- field DISCXSIZE (Discard Area Horizontal Size)

- field DISCYSIZE (Discard Area Vertical Size)

- LCDC_BASECFG4: bit DISCEN (Discard Area Enable)

32.6.11.3 Overlay Blending

The blending function requires two pixels (one iterated from the previous blending stage and one from the current overlay color) and a set of blending configuration parameters. These parameters define the color operation.

32.6.11.6 Color Keying

Color keying involves a method of bit-block image transfer (Blit). This entails blitting one image onto another where not all the pixels are copied. Blitting usually involves two bitmaps, a source bitmap and a destination bitmap. A raster operation (ROP) is performed to define whether the iterated color or the overlay color is to be visible or not.

Source Color Keying

If the masked overlay color matches the color key then the iterated color is selected, Source Color Keying is activated using the following configuration sequence:

  1. Select the Overlay to Blit
  2. Clear DSTKEY bit
  3. Activate Color Keying—set CRKEY bit
  4. Program Color Key writing RKEY, GKEY and BKEY fields
  5. Program Color Mask writing RKEY, GKEY and BKEY fields

When the field RMASK, GMASK, or BMASK is set to zero, the comparison is disabled and the raster operation is activated.

Destination Color Keying

If the iterated masked color matches the color key then the overlay color is selected, Destination Color Keying is activated using the following configuration sequence:

  1. Select the Overlay to Blit
  2. Set DSTKEY bit
  3. Activate Color Keying—set CRKEY bit
  4. Program Color Key writing RKEY, GKEY and BKEY fields
  5. Program Color Mask writing RKEY, GKEY and BKEY fields

When the field RMASK, GMASK, or BMASK is set to zero, the comparison is disabled and the raster operation is activated.

32.6.12 LCDC PWM Controller

This block generates the LCD contrast control signal (LCD_PWM) to make possible the control of the display's contrast by software. This is an 8-bit PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal that can be converted to an analog voltage with a simple passive filter.

The PWM module has a free-running counter whose value is compared against a compare register (PWM CVAL field of the LCDC_LCDCFG6 register). If the value in the counter is less than that in the register, the output brings the value of the signal polarity (PWMPOL) bit in the PWM control register: LCDC_LCDCFG6. Otherwise, the opposite value is output. Thus, a periodic waveform with a pulse width proportional to the value in the compare register is generated.

Due to the comparison mechanism, the output pulse has a width between zero and 255 PWM counter cycles. Thus by adding a simple passive filter outside the chip, an analog voltage between 0 and (255/256) × V DD can be obtained (for the positive polarity case, or between (1/256) × V DD and V _DD for the negative polarity case). Other voltage values can be obtained by adding active external circuitry.

For PWM mode, the counter frequency can be adjusted to four different values using the PWMPS field of the LCDC_LCDCFG6 register.

The PWM module can be fed with the slow clock or the system clock, depending on the CLKPWMSEL bit of the LCDC_CFG0 register.

32.6.13 Post Processing Controller

The output stream of pixels can be either displayed on the screen or written to the memory using the Post Processing Controller (PPC). When the PPC is used, the screen display is disabled, but synchronization signals remain active (if enabled). The stream of pixel can be written in RGB mode or encoded in YCbCr 422 mode. A programmable color space conversion stage is available.

$$ \left[ \begin{array}{l} Y \ U \ V \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array}{l l l} C S C Y R & C S C Y G & C S C Y B \ C S C U R & C S C U G & C S C U B \ C S C V R & C S C V G & C S C U B \end{array} \right] \bullet \left[ \begin{array}{l} R \ G \ B \end{array} \right] + \left[ \begin{array}{l} Y _ {o f f} \ U _ {o f f} \ V _ {o f f} \end{array} \right] $$

33. Image Sensor Interface (ISI)

33.1 Description

The Image Sensor Interface (ISI) connects a CMOS-type image sensor to the processor and provides image capture in various formats. The ISI performs data conversion, if necessary, before the storage in memory through DMA.

The ISI supports color CMOS image sensor and grayscale image sensors with a reduced set of functionalities.

In grayscale mode, the data stream is stored in memory without any processing and so is not compatible with the LCD controller.

Internal FIFOs on the preview and codec paths are used to store the incoming data. The RGB output on the preview path is compatible with the LCD controller. This module outputs the data in RGB format (LCD compatible) and has scaling capabilities to make it compliant to the LCD display resolution (see Table 33-5 on page 788).

Several input formats such as preprocessed RGB or YCbCr are supported through the data bus interface.

The ISI supports two modes of synchronization:

  • Hardware with ISI_VSYNC and ISI_HSYNC signals
  • International Telecommunication Union Recommendation ITU-R BT.656-4 Start-of-Active-Video (SAV) and End-of-Active-Video (EAV) synchronization sequence

Using EAV/SAV for synchronization reduces the pin count (ISI_VSYNC, ISI_HSYNC not used). The polarity of the synchronization pulse is programmable to comply with the sensor signals.

33.4 Product Dependencies

33.4.1 I/O Lines

The pins used for interfacing the compliant external devices can be multiplexed with PIO lines. The programmer must first program the PIO controllers to assign the ISI pins to their peripheral functions.

33.4.2 Power Management

The ISI can be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), thus the programmer must first configure the PMC to enable the ISI clock.

Note: The pixel clock frequency must be lower than the bus clock frequency (peripheral clock).

33.4.3 Interrupt Sources

The ISI interface has an interrupt line connected to the interrupt controller. Handling the ISI interrupt requires programming the interrupt controller before configuring the ISI.

33.5 Functional Description

The Image Sensor Interface (ISI) supports direct connection to the ITU-R BT. 601/656 8-bit mode compliant sensors and up to 12-bit gray-scale sensors. It receives the image data stream from the image sensor on the 12-bit data bus.

This module receives up to 12 bits for data, the horizontal and vertical synchronizations and the pixel clock. The reduced pin count alternative for synchronization is supported for sensors that embed SAV (start of active video) and EAV (end of active video) delimiters in the data stream.

The Image Sensor Interface interrupt line is connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller and can trigger an interrupt at the beginning of each frame and at the end of a DMA frame transfer. If the SAV/EAV synchronization is used, an interrupt can be triggered on each delimiter event.

For 8-bit color sensors, the data stream received can be in several possible formats: YCbCr 4:2:2, RGB 8:8:8, RGB 5:6:5 and may be processed before the storage in memory. When the preview DMA channel is configured and enabled, the preview path is activated and an 'RGB frame' is moved to memory. The preview path frame rate is configured with the FRATE field of the ISI_CFG1 register. When the codec DMA channel is configured and enabled, the codec path is activated and a 'YCbCr 4:2:2 frame' is captured as soon as the ISI_CDC bit of the ISI Control Register (ISI_CR) is set.

When the FULL bit of the ISI_CFG1 register is set, both preview DMA channel and codec DMA channel can operate simultaneously. When a zero is written to the FULL bit of the ISI_CFG1 register, a hardware scheduler checks the FRATE field. If its value is zero, a preview frame is skipped and a codec frame is moved to memory instead. If its value is other than zero, at least one free frame slot is available. The scheduler postpones the codec frame to that free available frame slot.

The data stream may be sent on both preview path and codec path if the value of bit ISI_CDC in the ISI_CR is one. To optimize the bandwidth, the codec path should be enabled only when a capture is required.

In grayscale mode, the input data stream is stored in memory without any processing. The 12-bit data, which represent the grayscale level for the pixel, is stored in memory one or two pixels per word, depending on the GS_MODE bit in the ISI_CFG2 register. The codec datapath is not available when grayscale image is selected.

A frame rate counter allows users to capture all frames or 1 out of every 2 to 8 frames.

33.5.1 Data Timing

33.5.1.1 VSYNC/HSYNC Data Timing

In the VSYNC/HSYNC synchronization, the valid data is captured with the active edge of the pixel clock (ISI_PCK), after SFD lines of vertical blanking and SLD pixel clock periods delay programmed in the ISI_CR.

The data timing using horizontal and vertical synchronization are shown in Figure 33-4.

33.5.1.2 SAV/EAV Data Timing

The ITU-RBT.656-4 standard defines the functional timing for an 8-bit wide interface.

There are two timing reference signals, one at the beginning of each video data block SAV (0xFF000080) and one at the end of each video data block EAV (0xFF00009D). Only data sent between EAV and SAV is captured. Horizontal blanking and vertical blanking are ignored. Use of the SAV and EAV synchronization eliminates the ISI_VSYNC and ISI_HSYNC signals from the interface, thereby reducing the pin count. In order to retrieve both frame and line synchronization properly, at least one line of vertical blanking is mandatory.

The data timing using EAV/SAV sequence synchronization are shown in Figure 33-4.

33.5.2 Data Ordering

The RGB color space format is required for viewing images on a display screen preview, and the YCbCr color space format is required for encoding.

All the sensors do not output the YCbCr or RGB components in the same order. The ISI allows the user to program the same component order as the sensor, reducing software treatments to restore the right format.

The RGB 5:6:5 input format is processed to be displayed as RGB 5:6:5 format, compliant with the 16-bit mode of the LCD controller.

33.5.3 Clocks

The sensor master clock (ISI_MCK) can be generated either by the Advanced Power Management Controller (APMC) through a Programmable Clock output or by an external oscillator connected to the sensor.

None of the sensors embed a power management controller, so providing the clock by the APMC is a simple and efficient way to control power consumption of the system.

Care must be taken when programming the system clock. The ISI has two clock domains, the sensor master clock and the pixel clock provided by sensor. The two clock domains are not synchronized, but the sensor master clock must be faster than the pixel clock.

33.5.4 Preview Path

33.5.4.1 Scaling, Decimation (Subsampling)

This module resizes captured 8-bit color sensor images to fit the LCD display format. The resize module performs only downscaling. The same ratio is applied for both horizontal and vertical resize, then a fractional decimation algorithm is applied.

The decimation factor is a multiple of 1/16; values 0 to 15 are forbidden.

The decimation factor is 2 so 32/16.

33.5.4.2 Color Space Conversion

This module converts YCrCb or YUV pixels to RGB color space. Clipping is performed to ensure that the samples value do not exceed the allowable range. The conversion matrix is defined below and is fully programmable:

$$ \left[ \begin{array}{l} R \ G \ B \end{array} \right] \quad \left[ \begin{array}{c c c} C _ {0} & 0 & C _ {1} \ C _ {0} & - \boldsymbol {C} _ {2} - _ {3} \ C _ {0} & C _ {4} & 0 \end{array} \right] \times = \left[ \begin{array}{l} Y - Y _ {\text {off}} \ C _ {b} - C _ {\text {boff}} \ C _ {r} - C _ {\text {roff}} \end{array} \right] $$

Example of programmable value to convert YCrCb to RGB:

$$ \left{ \begin{array}{l} R = 1. 1 6 4 \cdot (Y - 1 6) + 1. 5 9 6 \cdot (C _ {r} - 1 2 8) \ G = 1. 1 6 4 \cdot (Y - 1 6) - 0. 8 1 3 \cdot (C _ {r} - 1 2 8) - 0. 3 9 2 \cdot (C _ {b} - 1 2 8) \ B = 1. 1 6 4 \cdot (Y - 1 6) + 2. 1 0 7 \cdot (C _ {b} - 1 2 8) \end{array} \right. $$

An example of programmable value to convert from YUV to RGB:

$$ \left{ \begin{array}{l} R = Y + 1. 5 9 6 \cdot V \ G = Y - 0. 3 9 4 \cdot U - 0. 4 3 6 \cdot V \ B = Y + 2. 0 3 2 \cdot U \end{array} \right. $$

33.5.4.3 Memory Interface

- RGB Mode

The preview datapath contains a data formatter that converts 8:8:8 pixel to RGB 5:6:5 format compliant with the 16-bit format of the LCD controller. In general, when converting from a color channel with more bits to one with fewer bits, the formatter module discards the lower-order bits.

For example, converting from RGB 8:8:8 to RGB 5:6:5, the formatter module discards the three LSBs from the red and blue channels, and two LSBs from the green channel.

• 12-bit Grayscale Mode

ISI_DATA[11:0] is the physical interface to the ISI. These bits are sampled and written to memory.

When 12-bit grayscale mode is enabled, two memory formats are supported:

ISI_CFG2.GS_MODE = 0: two pixels per word

ISI_CFG2.GS_MODE = 1: one pixel per word

The following tables illustrate the memory mapping for the two formats.

- 8-bit Grayscale Mode

For 8-bit grayscale mode, ISI_DATA[7:0] on the 12-bit data bus is the physical interface to the ISI. These bits are sampled and written to memory.

To enable 8-bit grayscale mode, configure ISI_CFG2 as follows:

- Clear ISI CFG2.GRAYSCALE.

- Clear ISI_CFG2.RGB_SWAP.

  • Clear ISI_CFG2.COL_SPACE.
  • Configure the field ISI_CFG2.YCC_SWAP to value 0.
  • Configure the field ISI_CFG2.IM_VSIZE with the vertical resolution of the image minus 1.
  • Configure the field ISI_CFG2.IM_HSIZE with the horizontal resolution of the image divided by 2. The horizontal resolution must be a multiple of 2.

The codec datapath is used to capture the 8-bit grayscale image. Use the following configuration:

- Set ISI_DMA_C_CTRL.C_FETCH.

- Configure ISI_DMA_C_DSCR.C_DSCR with the descriptor address.

- Write a one to the bit ISI_DMA_CHER.C_CH_EN.

33.5.4.4 FIFO and DMA Features

Both preview and codec datapaths contain FIFOs. These asynchronous buffers are used to safely transfer formatted pixels from the pixel clock domain to the AHB clock domain. A video arbiter is used to manage FIFO thresholds and triggers a relevant DMA request through the AHB master interface. Thus, depending on the FIFO state, a specified length burst is asserted. Regarding AHB master interface, it supports Scatter DMA mode through linked list operation. This mode of operation improves flexibility of image buffer location and allows the user to allocate two or more frame buffers. The destination frame buffers are defined by a series of Frame Buffer Descriptors (FBD). Each FBD controls the transfer of one entire frame and then optionally loads a further FBD to switch the DMA operation at another frame buffer address. The FBD is defined by a series of three words. The first one defines the current frame buffer address (named DMA_X_ADDR register), the second defines control information (named DMA_X_CTRL register) and the third defines the next descriptor address (named DMA_X_DSCR). DMA transfer mode with linked list support is available for both codec and preview datapath. The data to be transferred described by an FBD requires several burst accesses. In the following example, the use of two ping-pong frame buffers is described.

Example:

The first FBD, stored at address 0x00030000, defines the location of the first frame buffer. This address is programmed in the ISI user interface DMA_P_DSCR. To enable the descriptor fetch operation, the value 0x00000001 must be written to the DMA_P_CTRL register. LLI_0 and LLI_1 are the two descriptors of the linked list.

Destination address: frame buffer ID0 0x02A000 (LLI_0.DMA_P_ADDR)

Transfer 0 Control Information, fetch and writeback: 0x00000003 (LLI_0.DMA_P_CTRL)

Next FBD address: 0x00030010 (LLI_0.DMA_P_DSCR)

Second FBD, stored at address 0x00030010, defines the location of the second frame buffer.

Destination address: frame buffer ID1 0x0003A000 (LLI_1.DMA_P_ADDR)

Transfer 1 Control information fetch and writeback: 0x00000003 (LLI_1.DMA_P_CTRL)

Next FBD address: 0x00030000, wrapping to first FBD (LLI_1.DMA_P_DSCR)

Using this technique, several frame buffers can be configured through the linked list. Figure 33-6 illustrates a typical three frame buffer application. Frame n is mapped to frame buffer 0, frame n+1 is mapped to frame buffer 1, frame n+2 is mapped to frame buffer 2, further frames wrap. A codec request occurs, and the full-size 4:2:2 encoded frame is stored in a dedicated memory space.

33.5.5 Codec Path

33.5.5.1 Color Space Conversion

Depending on user selection, this module can be bypassed so that input YCrCb stream is directly connected to the format converter module. If the RGB input stream is selected, this module converts RGB to YCrCb color space with the formulas given below:

$$ \left[ \begin{array}{l} Y \ C _ {r} \ C _ {b} \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array}{c c c} C _ {0} & C _ {1} & C _ {2} \ C _ {3} & C _ {\overline {{4}}} & C _ {\overline {{5}}} \ C _ {\overline {{6}}} & C _ {\overline {{7}}} & C _ {8} \end{array} \right] \times \left[ \begin{array}{l} R \ G \ B \end{array} \right] + \left[ \begin{array}{l} Y _ {o f f} \ C r _ {o f f} \ C b _ {o f f} \end{array} \right] $$

An example of coefficients is given below:

$$ \left{ \begin{array}{l} Y = 0. 2 5 7 \cdot R + 0. 5 0 4 \cdot G + 0. 0 9 8 \cdot B + 1 6 \ C _ {r} = 0. 4 3 9 \cdot R - 0. 3 6 8 \cdot G - 0. 0 7 1 \cdot B + 1 2 8 \ C _ {b} = - 0. 1 4 8 \cdot R - 0. 2 9 1 \cdot G + 0. 4 3 9 \cdot B + 1 2 8 \end{array} \right. $$

33.5.5.2 Memory Interface

Dedicated FIFOs are used to support packed memory mapping. YCrCb pixel components are sent in a single 32-bit word in a contiguous space (packed). Data is stored in the order of natural scan lines. Planar mode is not supported.

33.5.5.3 DMA Features

Like preview datapath, codec datapath DMA mode uses linked list operation.

33.6 Register Write Protection

To prevent any single software error from corrupting ISI behavior, certain registers in the address space can be write-protected by setting the bit WPEN in the "ISI Write Protection Mode Register" (ISI_WPMR).

The following registers are write-protected when ISI_WPMR.WPEN is set:

• ISI Configuration 1 Register
• ISI Configuration 2 Register
• ISI Preview Size Register
• ISI Preview Decimation Factor Register
• ISI Color Space Conversion YCrCb to RGB Set 0 Register
• ISI Color Space Conversion YCrCb to RGB Set 1 Register
• ISI Color Space Conversion RGB to YCrCb Set 0 Register
• ISI Color Space Conversion RGB to YCrCb Set 1 Register
• ISI Color Space Conversion RGB to YCrCb Set 2 Register

34. USB High Speed Device Port (UDPHS)

34.1 Description

The USB High Speed Device Port (UDPHS) is compliant with the Universal Serial Bus (USB), rev 2.0 High Speed device specification. Each endpoint can be configured in one of several USB transfer types. It can be associated with one, two or three banks of a Dual-port RAM used to store the current data payload. If two or three banks are used, one DPR bank is read or written by the processor, while the other is read or written by the USB device peripheral. This feature is mandatory for isochronous endpoints.

34.2 Embedded Characteristics

  • 1 Device High Speed
  • 1 UTMI transceiver shared between Host and Device
  • USB v2.0 High Speed Compliant, 480 Mbit/s
    • 16 Endpoints up to 1024 bytes
  • Embedded Dual-port RAM for Endpoints
  • Suspend/Resume Logic (Command of UTMI)
  • Up to Three Memory Banks for Endpoints (Not for Control Endpoint)
    • 8 Kbytes of DPRAM

34.5 Product Dependencies

34.5.1 Power Management

The UDPHS is not continuously clocked.

For using the UDPHS, the programmer must first enable the UDPHS Clock in the Power Management Controller Peripheral Clock Enable Register (PMC_PCER). Then enable the PLL in the PMC UTMI Clock Configuration Register (CKGR_UCKR). Finally, enable BIAS in CKGR_UCKR.

However, if the application does not require UDPHS operations, the UDPHS clock can be stopped when not needed and restarted later.

34.5.2 Interrupt Sources

The UDPHS interrupt line is connected on one of the internal sources of the interrupt controller. Using the UDPHS interrupt requires the interrupt controller to be programmed first.

34.6.2 USB V2.0 High Speed Device Port Introduction

The USB V2.0 High Speed Device Port provides communication services between host and attached USB devices. Each device is offered with a collection of communication flows (pipes) associated with each endpoint. Software on the host communicates with a USB Device through a set of communication flows.

34.6.3 USB V2.0 High Speed Transfer Types

A communication flow is carried over one of four transfer types defined by the USB device.

A device provides several logical communication pipes with the host. To each logical pipe is associated an endpoint. Transfer through a pipe belongs to one of the four transfer types:

  • Control Transfers: Used to configure a device at attach time and can be used for other device-specific purposes, including control of other pipes on the device.
  • Bulk Data Transfers: Generated or consumed in relatively large burst quantities and have wide dynamic latitude in transmission constraints.
  • Interrupt Data Transfers: Used for timely but reliable delivery of data, for example, characters or coordinates with human-perceptible echo or feedback response characteristics.
  • Isochronous Data Transfers: Occupy a prenegotiated amount of USB bandwidth with a prenegotiated delivery latency. (Also called streaming real time transfers.)

As indicated below, transfers are sequential events carried out on the USB bus.

Endpoints must be configured according to the transfer type they handle.

IsochronousUnidirectionalGuaranteed8–1024YesNo
InterruptUnidirectionalNot guaranteed8–1024YesYes
BulkUnidirectionalNot guaranteed8–512YesYes

34.6.4 USB Transfer Event Definitions

A transfer is composed of one or several transactions as shown in the following table.

Table 34-3: USB Transfer Events

TransferTransactionDirection Type
CONTROL (bidirectional)Control Transfer ^(1) Setup transaction → Data IN transactions → Status OUT transactionSetup transaction → Data OUT transactions → Status IN transactionSetup transaction → Status IN transaction
IN (device toward host)Bulk IN TransferData IN transaction → Data IN transaction
Interrupt IN TransferData IN transaction → Data IN transaction
Isochronous IN Transfer ^(2) Data IN transaction → Data IN transaction
OUT (host toward device)Bulk OUT TransferData OUT transaction → Data OUT transaction
Interrupt OUT TransferData OUT transaction → Data OUT transaction
Isochronous OUT Transfer ^(2) Data OUT transaction → Data OUT transaction

Note 1: Control transfer must use endpoints with one bank and can be aborted using a stall handshake.
2: Isochronous transfers must use endpoints configured with two or three banks.
An endpoint handles all transactions related to the type of transfer for which it has been configured.

Note 1: In Isochronous (Iso) mode, it is preferable that High Band Width capability is available.
The size of internal DPRAM is 8 KB.
Suspend and resume are automatically detected by the UDPHS device, which notifies the processor by raising an interrupt.

34.6.5 USB V2.0 High Speed BUS Transactions

Each transfer results in one or more transactions over the USB bus.

There are five kinds of transactions flowing across the bus in packets:

  1. Setup Transaction
  2. Data IN Transaction
  3. Data OUT Transaction
  4. Status IN Transaction
  5. Status OUT Transaction

A status IN or OUT transaction is identical to a data IN or OUT transaction.

34.6.6 Endpoint Configuration

The endpoint 0 is always a control endpoint, it must be programmed and active in order to be enabled when the End Of Reset interrupt occurs.

To configure the endpoints:

  • Fill the configuration register (UDPHS_EPTCFG) with the endpoint size, direction (IN or OUT), type (CTRL, Bulk, IT, ISO) and the number of banks.
  • Fill the number of transactions (NB_TRANS) for isochronous endpoints.

Note: For control endpoints the direction has no effect.

  • Verify that the EPT_MAPD flag is set. This flag is set if the endpoint size and the number of banks are correct compared to the FIFO maximum capacity and the maximum number of allowed banks.
  • Configure control flags of the endpoint and enable it in UDPHS_EPTCTLENBx according to UDPHS Endpoint Control Disable Register (Isochronous Endpoint).

Control endpoints can generate interrupts and use only 1 bank.

All endpoints (except endpoint 0) can be configured either as Bulk, Interrupt or Isochronous. See Table 34-4 UDPHS Endpoint Description.

The maximum packet size they can accept corresponds to the maximum endpoint size.

Note: The endpoint size of 1024 is reserved for isochronous endpoints.

The size of the DPRAM is 8 KB. The DPR is shared by all active endpoints. The memory size required by the active endpoints must not exceed the size of the DPRAM.

SIZE_DPRAM = SIZE_EPT0
+ NB_BANK_EPT1 x SIZE_EPT1 + NB_BANK_EPT2 x SIZE_EPT2 + NB_BANK_EPT3 x SIZE_EPT3 + NB_BANK_EPT4 x SIZE_EPT4 + NB_BANK_EPT5 x SIZE_EPT5 + NB_BANK_EPT6 x SIZE_EPT6 + ... (refer to Section 34.7.8 UDPH

If a user tries to configure endpoints with a size the sum of which is greater than the DPRAM, then the EPT_MAPD is not set.

The application has access to the physical block of DPR reserved for the endpoint through a 64 KB logical address space.

The physical block of DPR allocated for the endpoint is remapped all along the 64 KB logical address space. The application can write a 64 KB buffer linearly.

Configuration examples of UDPHS_EPTCTLx (UDPHS Endpoint Control Disable Register (Isochronous Endpoint)) for Bulk IN endpoint type follow below.

- With DMA

  • AUTO_VALID: Automatically validate the packet and switch to the next bank.
  • EPT_ENABL: Enable endpoint.

- Without DMA:

  • TXRDY: An interrupt is generated after each transmission.
  • EPT_ENABL: Enable endpoint.

Configuration examples of Bulk OUT endpoint type follow below.

- With DMA

  • AUTO_VALID: Automatically validate the packet and switch to the next bank.
  • EPT_ENABL: Enable endpoint.

- Without DMA

  • RXRDY_TXKL: An interrupt is sent after a new packet has been stored in the endpoint FIFO.
  • EPT_ENABL: Enable endpoint.

34.6.7 DPRAM Management

Endpoints can only be allocated in ascending order, from the endpoint 0 to the last endpoint to be allocated. The user shall therefore configure them in the same order.

The allocation of an endpoint x starts when the Number of Banks field in the UDPHS Endpoint Configuration Register (UDPHS_EPTCFGx.BK_NUMBER) is different from zero. Then, the hardware allocates a memory area in the DPRAM and inserts it between the x-1 and x+1 endpoints. The x+1 endpoint memory window slides up and its data is lost. Note that the following endpoint memory windows (from x+2) do not slide.

Disabling an endpoint, by writing a one to the Endpoint Disable bit in the UDPHS Endpoint Control Disable Register (UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx.EPT_DISABL), does not reset its configuration:

  • Endpoint Banks (UDPHS_EPTCFGx.BK_NUMBER)
  • Endpoint Size (UDPHS_EPTCFGx.EPT_SIZE)
  • Endpoint Direction (UDPHS_EPTCFGx.EPT_DIR)
  • Endpoint Type (UDPHS_EPTCFGx.EPT_TYPE)

To free its memory, the user shall write a zero to the UDPHS_EPTCFGx.BK_NUMBER field. The x+1 endpoint memory window then slides down and its data is lost. Note that the following endpoint memory windows (from x+2) do not slide.

Figure 34-6 illustrates the allocation and reorganization of the DPRAM in a typical example.

DPRAM allocation sequence:

  1. The endpoints 0 to 5 are enabled, configured and allocated in ascending order. Each endpoint then owns a memory area in the DPRAM.
  2. The endpoint 3 is disabled, but its memory is kept allocated by the controller.
  3. In order to free its memory, its UDPHS_EPTCFGx.BK_NUMBER field is written to zero. The endpoint 4 memory window slides down, but the endpoint 5 does not move.
  4. If the user chooses to reconfigure the endpoint 3 with a larger size, the controller allocates a memory area after the endpoint 2 memory area and automatically slides up the endpoint 4 memory window. The endpoint 5 does not move and a memory conflict appears as the memory windows of the endpoints 4 and 5 overlap. The data of these endpoints is potentially lost.

Note 1: There is no way the data of the endpoint 0 can be lost (except if it is de-allocated) as the memory allocation and de-allocation may affect only higher endpoints.

2: Deactivating then reactivating the same endpoint with the same configuration only modifies temporarily the controller DPRAM pointer and size for this endpoint. Nothing changes in the DPRAM, higher endpoints seem not to have been moved and their data is preserved as far as nothing has been written or received into them while changing the allocation state of the first endpoint.
3: When the user writes a value different from zero to the UDPHS_EPTCFGx.BK_NUMBER field, the Endpoint Mapped bit (UDPHS_EPTCFGx.EPT_MAPD) is set only if the configured size and number of banks are correct as compared to the endpoint maximal allowed values and to the maximal FIFO size (i.e., the DPRAM size). The UDPHS_EPTCFGx.EPT_MAPD value does not consider memory allocation conflicts.

34.6.8 Transfer With DMA

USB packets of any length may be transferred when required by the UDPHS device. These transfers always feature sequential addressing.

Packet data AHB bursts may be locked on a DMA buffer basis for drastic overall AHB bus bandwidth performance boost with paged memories. These clock-cycle consuming memory row (or bank) changes will then likely not occur, or occur only once instead of several times, during a single big USB packet DMA transfer in case another AHB master addresses the memory. The locked bursts result in up to 128-word single-cycle unbroken AHB bursts for bulk endpoints and 256-word single-cycle unbroken bursts for isochronous endpoints.

This maximum burst length is then controlled by the lowest programmed USB endpoint size (EPT_SIZE field in the UDPHS_EPTCFGx register) and DMA Size (BUFF_LENGTH field in the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register).

The USB 2.0 device average throughput may be up to nearly 60 Mbyte/s. Its internal slave average access latency decreases as burst length increases due to the 0 wait-state side effect of unchanged endpoints. If at least 0 wait-state word burst capability is also provided by the external DMA AHB bus slaves, each of both DMA AHB busses need less than 50% bandwidth allocation for full USB 2.0 bandwidth usage at 30 MHz, and less than 25% at 60 MHz.

The UDPHS DMA Channel Transfer Descriptor is described in Section 34.7.21 UDPHS DMA Channel Transfer Descriptor.

Note: In case of debug, be careful to address the DMA to an SRAM address even if a remap is done.

34.6.9 Transfer Without DMA

Important: If the DMA is not to be used, it is necessary to disable it, otherwise it can be enabled by previous versions of software without warning. If this should occur, the DMA can process data before an interrupt without knowledge of the user.

The recommended means to disable DMA are as follows:

// Reset IP UDPHS
    AT91C_BASE_UDPHS->UDPHS_CTRL &= ~AT91C_UDPHS_EN_UDPHS;
    AT91C_BASE_UDPHS->UDPHS_CTRL |= AT91C_UDPHS_EN_UDPHS;
// With OR without DMA !!!
    for( i=1; i<=(AT91C_BASE_UDPHS->UDPHS_IPFEATURES &
    AT91C_UDPHS_DMA_CHANNEL_NBR)>>4); i++) {
    // RESET endpoint canal DMA:
    // DMA stop channel command
    AT91C_BASE_UDPHS->UDPHS_DMA[i].UDPHS_DMACONTROL = 0;    // STOP command
    // Disable endpoint
    AT91C_BASE_UDPHS->UDPHS_EPT[i].UDPHS_EPTCTLDIS |= 0XFFFFFFF;
    // Reset endpoint config
    AT91C_BASE_UDPHS->UDPHS_EPT[i].UDPHS_EPTCTLCFG = 0;
    // Reset DMA channel (Buff count and Control field)
    AT91C_BASE_UDPHS->UDPHS_DMA[i].UDPHS_DMACONTROL = 0x02;    // NON STOP command
    // Reset DMA channel 0 (STOP)
    AT91C_BASE_UDPHS->UDPHS_DMA[i].UDPHS_DMACONTROL = 0;    // STOP command
    // Clear DMA channel status (read the register for clear it)
    AT91C_BASE_UDPHS->UDPHS_DMA[i].UDPHS_DMASTATUS =
    AT91C_BASE_UDPHS->UDPHS_DMA[i].UDPHS_DMASTATUS;
} 

34.6.10 Handling Transactions with USB V2.0 Device Peripheral

34.6.10.1 Setup Transaction

The setup packet is valid in the DPR while RX_SETUP is set. Once RX_SETUP is cleared by the application, the UDPHS accepts the next packets sent over the device endpoint.

When a valid setup packet is accepted by the UDPHS:

  • The UDPHS device automatically acknowledges the setup packet (sends an ACK response)
  • Payload data is written in the endpoint
  • Sets the RX_SETUP interrupt
  • The BYTE_COUNT field in the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register is updated

An endpoint interrupt is generated while RX_SETUP in the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register is not cleared. This interrupt is carried out to the microcontroller if interrupts are enabled for this endpoint.

Thus, firmware must detect RX_SETUP polling UDPHS_EPTSTAx or catching an interrupt, read the setup packet in the FIFO, then clear the RX_SETUP bit in the UDPHS_EPTCLRSTA register to acknowledge the setup stage.

If STALL_SNT was set to 1, then this bit is automatically reset when a setup token is detected by the device. Then, the device still accepts the setup stage. (See Section 34.6.10.5 STALL).

34.6.10.2 NYET

NYET is a High Speed only handshake. It is returned by a High Speed endpoint as part of the PING protocol.

High Speed devices must support an improved NAK mechanism for Bulk OUT and control endpoints (except setup stage). This mechanism allows the device to tell the host whether it has sufficient endpoint space for the next OUT transfer (see USB 2.0 spec 8.5.1 NAK Limiting via Ping Flow Control).

The NYET/ACK response to a High Speed Bulk OUT transfer and the PING response are automatically handled by hardware in the UDPHS_EPTCTLx register (except when the user wants to force a NAK response by using the NYET_DIS bit).

If the endpoint responds instead to the OUT/DATA transaction with an NYET handshake, this means that the endpoint accepted the data but does not have room for another data payload. The host controller must return to using a PING token until the endpoint indicates it has space available.

34.6.10.3 Data IN

- Bulk IN or Interrupt IN

Data IN packets are sent by the device during the data or the status stage of a control transfer or during an (interrupt/bulk/isochronous) IN transfer. Data buffers are sent packet by packet under the control of the application or under the control of the DMA channel.

There are three ways for an application to transfer a buffer in several packets over the USB:

  • packet by packet (see Bulk IN or Interrupt IN: Sending a Packet Under Application Control (Device to Host) below)
  • 64 KB (see Bulk IN or Interrupt IN: Sending a Packet Under Application Control (Device to Host) below)
    • DMA (see Bulk IN or Interrupt IN: Sending a Buffer Using DMA (Device to Host) below)
  • Bulk IN or Interrupt IN: Sending a Packet Under Application Control (Device to Host)

The application can write one or several banks.

A simple algorithm can be used by the application to send packets regardless of the number of banks associated to the endpoint.

Algorithm Description for Each Packet:

  • The application waits for TXRDY flag to be cleared in the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register before it can perform a write access to the DPR.
  • The application writes one USB packet of data in the DPR through the 64 KB endpoint logical memory window.
  • The application sets TXRDY flag in the UDPHS_EPTSETSTAx register.

The application is notified that it is possible to write a new packet to the DPR by the TXRDY interrupt. This interrupt can be enabled or masked by setting the TXRDY bit in the UDPHS_EPTCTLENB/UDPHS_EPTCTLDIS register.

Algorithm Description to Fill Several Packets:

Using the previous algorithm, the application is interrupted for each packet. It is possible to reduce the application overhead by writing linearly several banks at the same time. The AUTO_VALID bit in the UDPHS_EPTCTLx must be set by writing the AUTO_VALID bit in the UDPHS_EPTCTLENBx register.

The auto-valid-bank mechanism allows the transfer of data (IN and OUT) without the intervention of the CPU. This means that bank validation (set TXRDY or clear the RXRDY_TXKL bit) is done by hardware.

  • The application checks the BUSY_BANK_STA field in the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register. The application must wait that at least one bank is free.
  • The application writes a number of bytes inferior to the number of free DPR banks for the endpoint. Each time the application writes the last byte of a bank, the TXRDY signal is automatically set by the UDPHS.
  • If the last packet is incomplete (i.e., the last byte of the bank has not been written) the application must set the TXRDY bit in the UDPHS_EPTSETSTAx register.

The application is notified that all banks are free, so that it is possible to write another burst of packets by the BUSY_BANK interrupt. This interrupt can be enabled or masked by setting the BUSY_BANK flag in the UDPHS_EPTCTLENB and UDPHS_EPTCTLDIS registers.

This algorithm must not be used for isochronous transfer. In this case, the ping-pong mechanism does not operate.

A Zero Length Packet can be sent by setting just the TXRDY flag in the UDPHS_EPTSETSTAx register.

- Bulk IN or Interrupt IN: Sending a Buffer Using DMA (Device to Host)

The UDPHS integrates a DMA host controller. This DMA controller can be used to transfer a buffer from the memory to the DPR or from the DPR to the processor memory under the UDPHS control. The DMA can be used for all transfer types except control transfer.

Example DMA configuration:

  1. Program UDPHS_DMAADDRESS x with the address of the buffer that should be transferred.

  2. Enable the interrupt of the DMA in UDPHS_IEN

  3. Program UDPHS_DMACONTROLx:

  4. Size of buffer to send: size of the buffer to be sent to the host.

  5. END_B_EN: The endpoint can validate the packet (according to the values programmed in the AUTO_VALID and SHRT_PCKT fields of UDPHS_EPTCTLx.) (See Section 34.7.12 UDPHS Endpoint Control Disable Register (Isochronous Endpoint) and Figure 34-13)
  6. END_BUFFIT: generate an interrupt when the BUFF_COUNT in UDPHS_DMASTATUSx reaches 0.
  7. CHANN_ENB: Run and stop at end of buffer

The auto-valid-bank mechanism allows the transfer of data (IN & OUT) without the intervention of the CPU. This means that bank validation (set TXRDY or clear the RXRDY_TXKL bit) is done by hardware.

A transfer descriptor can be used. Instead of programming the register directly, a descriptor should be programmed and the address of this descriptor is then given to UDPHS_DMANXTDSC to be processed after setting the LDNXT_DSC field (Load Next Descriptor Now) in UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register.

The structure that defines this transfer descriptor must be aligned.

Each buffer to be transferred must be described by a DMA Transfer descriptor (see Section 34.7.21 UDPHS DMA Channel Transfer Descriptor). Transfer descriptors are chained. Before executing transfer of the buffer, the UDPHS may fetch a new transfer descriptor from the memory address pointed by the UDPHS_DMANXTDSCx register. Once the transfer is complete, the transfer status is updated in the UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register.

To chain a new transfer descriptor with the current DMA transfer, the DMA channel must be stopped. To do so, INTDIS_DMA and TXRDY may be set in the UDPHS_EPTCTLENBx register. It is also possible for the application to wait for the completion of all transfers. In this case the LDNXT_DSC bit in the last transfer descriptor UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register must be set to 0 and the CHANN_ENB bit set to 1.

Then the application can chain a new transfer descriptor.

The INTDIS_DMA can be used to stop the current DMA transfer if an enabled interrupt is triggered. This can be used to stop DMA transfers in case of errors.

The application can be notified at the end of any buffer transfer (ENB_BUFFIT bit in the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register).

Note: Before proceeding to the status stage, the software should determine that there is no risk of extra data from the host (data stage). If not certain (non-predictable data stage length), then the software should wait for a NAK-IN interrupt before proceeding to the status stage. This precaution should be taken to avoid collision in the FIFO.

Note: In the illustration above Autovalid validates a bank as full, although this might not be the case, in order to continue processing data and to send to DMA.

- Isochronous IN

Isochronous-IN is used to transmit a stream of data whose timing is implied by the delivery rate. Isochronous transfer provides periodic, continuous communication between host and device.

It ensures bandwidth and low latencies appropriate for telephony, audio, video, etc.

If the endpoint is not available (TXRDY_TRER = 0), then the device does not answer to the host. An ERR_FL_ISO interrupt is generated in the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register and once enabled, then sent to the CPU.

The STALL_SNT command bit is not used for an ISO-IN endpoint.

• High Bandwidth Isochronous Endpoint Handling: IN Example

For high bandwidth isochronous endpoints, the DMA can be programmed with the number of transactions (BUFF_LENGTH field in UDPHS_DMACONTROLx) and the system should provide the required number of packets per microframe, otherwise, the host will notice a sequencing problem.

A response should be made to the first token IN recognized inside a microframe under the following conditions:

- If at least one bank has been validated, the correct DATAx corresponding to the programmed Number Of Transactions per Microframe (NB_TRANS) should be answered. In case of a subsequent missed or corrupted token IN inside the microframe, the USB 2.0 Core available data bank(s) that should normally have been transmitted during that microframe shall be flushed at its end. If this flush occurs, an error condition is flagged (ERR_FLUSH is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx).

- If no bank is validated yet, the default DATA0 ZLP is answered and underflow is flagged (ERR_FL_ISO is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx). Then, no data bank is flushed at microframe end.

- If no data bank has been validated at the time when a response should be made for the second transaction of NB_TRANS = 3 transactions microframe, a DATA1 ZLP is answered and underflow is flagged (ERR_FL_ISO is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx). If and only if remaining untransmitted banks for that microframe are available at its end, they are flushed and an error condition is flagged (ERR_FLUSH is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx).

- If no data bank has been validated at the time when a response should be made for the last programmed transaction of a microframe, a DATA0 ZLP is answered and underflow is flagged (ERR_FL_ISO is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx). If and only if the remaining untransmitted data bank for that microframe is available at its end, it is flushed and an error condition is flagged (ERR_FLUSH is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx).

- If at the end of a microframe no valid token IN has been recognized, no data bank is flushed and no error condition is reported.

At the end of a microframe in which at least one data bank has been transmitted, if less than NB_TRANS banks have been validated for that microframe, an error condition is flagged (ERR_TRANS is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx).

Cases of Error (in UDPHS_EPTSTAx)

- ERR_FL_ISO: There was no data to transmit inside a microframe, so a ZLP is answered by default.

- ERR_FLUSH: At least one packet has been sent inside the microframe, but the number of token IN received is lesser than the number of transactions actually validated (TXRDY_TRER) and likewise with the NB_TRANS programmed.

- ERR_TRANS: At least one packet has been sent inside the microframe, but the number of token IN received is lesser than the number of programmed NB_TRANS transactions and the packets not requested were not validated.

- ERR_FL_ISO + ERR_FLUSH: At least one packet has been sent inside the microframe, but the data has not been validated in time to answer one of the following token IN.

- ERR_FL_ISO + ERR_TRANS: At least one packet has been sent inside the microframe, but the data has not been validated in time to answer one of the following token IN and the data can be discarded at the microframe end.

- ERR_FLUSH + ERR_TRANS: The first token IN has been answered and it was the only one received, a second bank has been validated but not the third, whereas NB_TRANS was waiting for three transactions.

- ERR_FL_ISO + ERR_FLUSH + ERR_TRANS: The first token IN has been treated, the data for the second Token IN was not available in time, but the second bank has been validated before the end of the microframe. The third bank has not been validated, but three transactions have been set in NB_TRANS.

34.6.10.4 Data OUT

- Bulk OUT or Interrupt OUT

Like data IN, data OUT packets are sent by the host during the data or the status stage of control transfer or during an interrupt/bulk/isochronous OUT transfer. Data buffers are sent packet by packet under the control of the application or under the control of the DMA channel.

- Bulk OUT or Interrupt OUT: Receiving a Packet Under Application Control (Host to Device)

Algorithm Description for Each Packet:

- The application enables an interrupt on RXRDY_TXKL.

- When an interrupt on RXRDY_TXKL is received, the application knows that UDPHS_EPTSTAx register BYTE_COUNT bytes have been received.

  • The application reads the BYTE_COUNT bytes from the endpoint.
    • The application clears RXRDY_TXKL.

Note: If the application does not know the size of the transfer, it may not be a good option to use AUTO_VALID. Because if a zero-length-packet is received, the RXRDY_TXKL is automatically cleared by the AUTO_VALID hardware and if the endpoint interrupt is triggered, the software will not find its originating flag when reading the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register.

Algorithm to Fill Several Packets:

  • The application enables the interrupts of BUSY_BANK and AUTO_VALID.
  • When a BUSY_BANK interrupt is received, the application knows that all banks available for the endpoint have been filled. Thus, the application can read all banks available.

If the application does not know the size of the receive buffer, instead of using the BUSY_BANK interrupt, the application must use RXRDY_TXKL.

- Bulk OUT or Interrupt OUT: Sending a Buffer Using DMA (Host To Device)

To use the DMA setting, the AUTO_VALID field is mandatory.

See Bulk IN or Interrupt IN: Sending a Buffer Using DMA (Device to Host) for more information.

DMA Configuration Example:

  1. First program UDPHS_DMAADDRESSx with the address of the buffer that should be transferred.
  2. Enable the interrupt of the DMA in UDPHS_IEN
  3. Program the DMA Channelx Control Register:

- Size of buffer to be sent.

  • END_B_EN: Can be used for OUT packet truncation (discarding of unbuffered packet data) at the end of DMA buffer.
  • END_BUFFIT: Generate an interrupt when BUFF_COUNT in the UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register reaches 0.
  • END_TR_EN: End of transfer enable, the UDPHS device can put an end to the current DMA transfer, in case of a short packet.
  • END_TR_IT: End of transfer interrupt enable, an interrupt is sent after the last USB packet has been transferred by the DMA, if the USB transfer ended with a short packet. (Beneficial when the receive size is unknown.)
  • CHANN_ENB: Run and stop at end of buffer.

For OUT transfer, the bank will be automatically cleared by hardware when the application has read all the bytes in the bank (the bank is empty).

Note 1: When a zero-length-packet is received, RXRDY_TXKL bit in UDPHS_EPTSTAx is cleared automatically by AUTO_VALID, and the application knows of the end of buffer by the presence of the END_TR_IT.

2: If the host sends a zero-length packet, and the endpoint is free, then the device sends an ACK. No data is written in the endpoint, the RXRDY_TXKL interrupt is generated, and the BYTE_COUNT field in UDPHS_EPTSTAx is null.

• High Bandwidth Isochronous Endpoint OUT

USB 2.0 supports individual High Speed isochronous endpoints that require data rates up to 192 Mb/s (24 MB/s): 3x1024 data bytes per microframe.

To support such a rate, two or three banks may be used to buffer the three consecutive data packets. The microcontroller (or the DMA) should be able to empty the banks very rapidly (at least 24 MB/s on average).

NB_TRANS field in UDPHS_EPTCFGx register = Number Of Transactions per Microframe.

If NB_TRANS > 1 then it is High Bandwidth.

Example:

- If NB_TRANS = 3, the sequence should be either

- MData0

- MData0/Data1

- MData0/Data1/Data2

- If NB_TRANS = 2, the sequence should be either

- M Data 0

- MData0/Data1

- If NB_TRANS = 1, the sequence should be

- Data0

  • Isochronous Endpoint Handling: OUT Example
    The user can ascertain the bank status (free or busy), and the toggle sequencing of the data packet for each bank with the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register in the three fields as follows:
  • TOGGLESQ_STA: PID of the data stored in the current bank
  • CURBK: Number of the bank currently being accessed by the microcontroller.
  • BUSY_BANK_STA: Number of busy bank

This is particularly useful in case of a missing data packet.

If the inter-packet delay between the OUT token and the Data is greater than the USB standard, then the ISO-OUT transaction is ignored. (Payload data is not written, no interrupt is generated to the CPU.)

If there is a data CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error, the payload is, none the less, written in the endpoint. The ERR_CRC_NTR flag is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx register.

If the endpoint is already full, the packet is not written in the DPRAM. The ERR_FL_ISO flag is set in UDPHS_EPTSTAx.

If the payload data is greater than the maximum size of the endpoint, then the ERR_OVFLW flag is set. It is the task of the CPU to manage this error. The data packet is written in the endpoint (except the extra data).

If the host sends a Zero Length Packet, and the endpoint is free, no data is written in the endpoint, the RXRDY_TXKL flag is set, and the BYTE_COUNT field in UDPHS_EPTSTAx register is null.

The FRCESTALL command bit is unused for an isochronous endpoint.

Otherwise, payload data is written in the endpoint, the RXRDY_TXKL interrupt is generated and the BYTE_COUNT in UDPHS_EPTSTAx register is updated.

34.6.10.5 STALL

STALL is returned by a function in response to an IN token or after the data phase of an OUT or in response to a PING transaction. STALL indicates that a function is unable to transmit or receive data, or that a control pipe request is not supported.

• OUT

To stall an endpoint, set the FRCESTALL bit in UDPHS_EPTSETSTAx register and after the STALL_SNT flag has been set, set the TOGGLE_SEG bit in the UDPHS_EPTCLRSTAx register.

• IN

Set the FRCESTALL bit in UDPHS_EPTSETSTAx register.

34.6.11 Speed Identification

The high speed reset is managed by hardware.

At the connection, the host makes a reset which could be a classic reset (full speed) or a high speed reset.

At the end of the reset process (full or high), the ENDRESET interrupt is generated.

Then the CPU should read the SPEED bit in UDPHS_INTSTAx to ascertain the speed mode of the device.

34.6.12 USB V2.0 High Speed Global Interrupt

Interrupts are defined in Section 34.7.3 UDPHS Interrupt Enable Register (UDPHS_IEN) and in Section 34.7.4 UDPHS Interrupt Status Register (UDPHS_INTSTA).

34.6.13 Endpoint Interrupts

Interrupts are enabled in UDPHS_IEN (see Section 34.7.3 UDPHS Interrupt Enable Register) and individually masked in UDPHS_EPTCTLENBx (see Section 34.7.9 UDPHS Endpoint Control Enable Register (Control, Bulk, Interrupt Endpoints)).

34.6.14.1 Controlling Device States

A USB device has several possible states. Refer to Chapter 9 (USB Device Framework) of the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Rev 2.0.

Movement from one state to another depends on the USB bus state or on standard requests sent through control transactions via the default endpoint (endpoint 0).

After a period of bus inactivity, the USB device enters Suspend mode. Accepting Suspend/Resume requests from the USB host is mandatory. Constraints in Suspend mode are very strict for bus-powered applications; devices may not consume more than 500 A on the USB bus.

While in Suspend mode, the host may wake up a device by sending a resume signal (bus activity) or a USB device may send a wake-up request to the host, e.g., waking up a PC by moving a USB mouse.

The wake-up feature is not mandatory for all devices and must be negotiated with the host.

34.6.14.2 Not Powered State

Self powered devices can detect 5V VBUS using a PIO. When the device is not connected to a host, device power consumption can be reduced by the DETACH bit in UDPHS_CTRL. Disabling the transceiver is automatically done. HSDM, HSDP, FSDP and FSDP lines are tied to GND pull-downs integrated in the hub downstream ports.

34.6.14.3 Entering Attached State

When no device is connected, the USB FSDP and FSDM signals are tied to GND by 15 KΩ pull-downs integrated in the hub downstream ports. When a device is attached to an hub downstream port, the device connects a 1.5 KΩ pull-up on FSDP. The USB bus line goes into IDLE state, FSDP is pulled-up by the device 1.5 KΩ resistor to 3.3V and FSDM is pulled-down by the 15 KΩ resistor to GND of the host.

After pull-up connection, the device enters the powered state. The transceiver remains disabled until bus activity is detected.

In case of low power consumption need, the device can be stopped. When the device detects the VBUS, the software must enable the USB transceiver by enabling the EN_UDPHS bit in UDPHS_CTRL register.

The software can detach the pull-up by setting DETACH bit in UDPHS_CTRL register.

34.6.14.4 From Powered State to Default State (Reset)

After its connection to a USB host, the USB device waits for an end-of-bus reset. The unmasked flag ENDRESET is set in the UDPHS_IEN register and an interrupt is triggered.

Once the ENDRESET interrupt has been triggered, the device enters Default State. In this state, the UDPHS software must:

  • Enable the default endpoint, setting the EPT_ENABL flag in the UDPHS_EPTCTLENB[0] register and, optionally, enabling the interrupt for endpoint 0 by writing 1 in EPT_0 of the UDPHS_IEN register. The enumeration then begins by a control transfer.
  • Configure the Interrupt Mask Register which has been reset by the USB reset detection
  • Enable the transceiver.

In this state, the EN_UDPHS bit in UDPHS_CTRL register must be enabled.

34.6.14.5 From Default State to Address State (Address Assigned)

After a Set Address standard device request, the USB host peripheral enters the address state.

Warning: Before the device enters address state, it must achieve the Status IN transaction of the control transfer, i.e., the UDPHS device sets its new address once the TX_COMPLT flag in the UDPHS_EPTCTL[0] register has been received and cleared.

To move to address state, the driver software sets the DEV_ADDR field and the FADDR_EN flag in the UDPHS_CTRL register.

34.6.14.6 From Address State to Configured State (Device Configured)

Once a valid Set Configuration standard request has been received and acknowledged, the device enables endpoints corresponding to the current configuration. This is done by setting the BK_NUMBER, EPT_TYPE, EPT_DIR and EPT_SIZE fields in the UDPHS_EPTCFGx registers and enabling them by setting the EPT_ENABL flag in the UDPHS_EPTCTLENBx registers, and, optionally, enabling corresponding interrupts in the UDPHS_IEN register.

34.6.14.7 Entering Suspend State (Bus Activity)

When a Suspend (no bus activity on the USB bus) is detected, the DET_SUSPD signal in the UDPHS_STA register is set. This triggers an interrupt if the corresponding bit is set in the UDPHS_IEN register. This flag is cleared by writing to the UDPHS_CLRINT register. Then the device enters Suspend mode.

In this state bus powered devices must drain less than 500 A from the 5V VBUS. As an example, the microcontroller switches to slow clock, disables the PLL and main oscillator, and goes into Idle mode. It may also switch off other devices on the board.

The UDPHS device peripheral clocks can be switched off. Resume event is asynchronously detected.

34.6.14.8 Receiving a Host Resume

In Suspend mode, a resume event on the USB bus line is detected asynchronously, transceiver and clocks disabled (however the pull-up should not be removed).

Once the resume is detected on the bus, the signal WAKE_UP in the UDPHS_INTSTA is set. It may generate an interrupt if the corresponding bit in the UDPHS_IEN register is set. This interrupt may be used to wake-up the core, enable PLL and main oscillators and configure clocks.

34.6.14.9 Sending an External Resume

In Suspend State it is possible to wake-up the host by sending an external resume.

The device waits at least 5 ms after being entered in Suspend State before sending an external resume.

The device must force a K state from 1 to 15 ms to resume the host.

34.6.15 Test Mode

A device must support the TEST_MODE feature when in the Default, Address or Configured High Speed device states.

TEST_MODE can be:

- Test_J
- Test_K
- Test_Packet
- Test_SEO_NAK 

(See Section 34.7.7 UDPHS Test Register for definitions of each test mode.)

const char test_packet_buffer[] = {
    0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xEE, 0xEE, 0xEE, 0xEE, 0xEE, 0xEE, 0xEE, 0xEE, 0xFE, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0FF

UPSTR_RESENDOFRSMWAKE_UPENDRESETINT_SOFMICRO_SOFDET_SUSPDSPEED

SPEED: Speed Status

0: Reset by hardware when the hardware is in Full Speed mode.

1: Set by hardware when the hardware is in High Speed mode.

DET\_SUSPD: Suspend Interrupt

0: Cleared by setting the DET_SUSPD bit in UDPHS_CLRINT register.

1: Set by hardware when a UDPHS Suspend (Idle bus for three frame periods, a J state for 3 ms) is detected. This triggers a UDPHS interrupt when the DET_SUSPD bit is set in UDPHS_IEN register.

MICRO\_SOF: Micro Start Of Frame Interrupt

0: Cleared by setting the MICRO_SOF bit in UDPHS_CLRINT register.

1: Set by hardware when an UDPHS micro start of frame PID (SOF) has been detected (every 125 us) or synthesized by the macro. This triggers a UDPHS interrupt when the MICRO_SOF bit is set in UDPHS_IEN. In case of detected SOF, the MICRO_FRAME_NUM field in UDPHS_FNUM register is incremented and the FRAME_NUMBER field does not change.

Note: The Micro Start Of Frame Interrupt (MICRO_SOF), and the Start Of Frame Interrupt (INT_SOF) are not generated at the same time.

INT\_SOF: Start Of Frame Interrupt

0: Cleared by setting the INT_SOF bit in UDPHS_CLRINT.

1: Set by hardware when an UDPHS Start Of Frame PID (SOF) has been detected (every 1 ms) or synthesized by the macro. This triggers a UDPHS interrupt when the INT_SOF bit is set in UDPHS_IEN register. In case of detected SOF, in High Speed mode, the MICRO_FRAME_NUMBER field is cleared in UDPHS_FNUM register and the FRAME_NUMBER field is updated.

ENDRESET: End Of Reset Interrupt

0: Cleared by setting the ENDRESET bit in UDPHS_CLRINT.

1: Set by hardware when an End Of Reset has been detected by the UDPHS controller. This triggers a UDPHS interrupt when the ENDRESET bit is set in UDPHS_IEN.

WAKE\_UP: Wake Up CPU Interrupt

0: Cleared by setting the WAKE_UP bit in UDPHS_CLRINT.

1: Set by hardware when the UDPHS controller is in SUSPEND state and is re-activated by a filtered non-idle signal from the UDPHS line (not by an upstream resume). This triggers a UDPHS interrupt when the WAKE_UP bit is set in UDPHS_IEN register. When receiving this interrupt, the user has to enable the device controller clock prior to operation.

Note: this interrupt is generated even if the device controller clock is disabled.

ENDOFRSM: End Of Resume Interrupt

0: Cleared by setting the ENDOFRSM bit in UDPHS_CLRINT.

1: Set by hardware when the UDPHS controller detects a good end of resume signal initiated by the host. This triggers a UDPHS interrupt when the ENDOFRSM bit is set in UDPHS_IEN.

UPSTR\_RES: Upstream Resume Interrupt

0: Cleared by setting the UPSTR_RES bit in UDPHS_CLRINT.

1: Set by hardware when the UDPHS controller is sending a resume signal called "upstream resume". This triggers a UDPHS interrupt when the UPSTR_RES bit is set in UDPHS_IEN.

EPT\_x: Endpoint x Interrupt (cleared upon USB reset)

0: Reset when the UDPHS_EPTSTAx interrupt source is cleared.

1: Set by hardware when an interrupt is triggered by the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register and this endpoint interrupt is enabled by the EPT_x bit in UDPHS_IEN.

DMA\_x: DMA Channel x Interrupt

0: Reset when the UDPHS_DMASTATUSx interrupt source is cleared.

1: Set by hardware when an interrupt is triggered by the DMA Channelx and this endpoint interrupt is enabled by the DMA_x bit in UDPHS_IEN.

ValueNameDescription
0NORMALNormal mode: The macro is in Full Speed mode, ready to make a High Speed identification, if the host supports it and then to automatically switch to High Speed mode.
1-Reserved
2HIGH_SPEEDForce High Speed: Set this value to force the hardware to work in High Speed mode. Only for debug or test purpose.
3FULL_SPEEDForce Full Speed: Set this value to force the hardware to work only in Full Speed mode. In this configuration, the macro will not respond to a High Speed reset handshake.

TST\_J: Test J Mode

0: No effect.

1: Set to send the J state on the UDPHS line. This enables the testing of the high output drive level on the D+ line.

TST\_K: Test K Mode

0: No effect.

1: Set to send the K state on the UDPHS line. This enables the testing of the high output drive level on the D-line.

TST\_PKT: Test Packet Mode

0: No effect.

1: Set to repetitively transmit the packet stored in the current bank. This enables the testing of rise and fall times, eye patterns, jitter, and any other dynamic waveform specifications.

OPMODE2: OpMode2

0: No effect.

1: Set to force the OpMode signal (UTMI interface) to "10", to disable the bit-stuffing and the NRZI encoding.

Note: For the Test mode, Test_SE0_NAK (see Universal Serial Bus Specification, Revision 2.0: 7.1.20, Test Mode Support). Force the device in High Speed mode, and configure a bulk-type endpoint. Do not fill this endpoint for sending NAK to the host. Upon command, a port's transceiver must enter the High Speed Receive mode and remain in that mode until the exit action is taken. This enables the testing of output impedance, low level output voltage and loading characteristics. In addition, while in this mode, upstream facing ports (and only upstream facing ports) must respond to any IN token packet with a NAK handshake (only if the packet CRC is determined to be correct) within the normal allowed device response time. This enables testing of the device squelch level circuitry and, additionally, provides a general purpose stimulus/response test for basic functional testing.

AUTO\_VALID: Packet Auto-Valid Enabled (Not for CONTROL Endpoints) (cleared upon USB reset)

Set this bit to automatically validate the current packet and switch to the next bank for both IN and OUT endpoints.

For IN Transfer:

If this bit is set, the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register TXRDY bit is set automatically when the current bank is full and at the end of DMA buffer if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register END_B_EN bit is set.

The user may still set the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register TXRDY bit if the current bank is not full, unless the user needs to send a Zero Length Packet by software.

For OUT Transfer:

If this bit is set, the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register RXRDY_TXKL bit is automatically reset for the current bank when the last packet byte has been read from the bank FIFO or at the end of DMA buffer if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register END_B_EN bit is set. For example, to truncate a padded data packet when the actual data transfer size is reached.

The user may still clear the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register RXRDY_TXKL bit, for example, after completing a DMA buffer by software if UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register END_B_EN bit was disabled or in order to cancel the read of the remaining data bank(s).

INTDIS\_DMA: Interrupt Disables DMA (cleared upon USB reset)

If set, when an enabled endpoint-originated interrupt is triggered, the DMA request is disabled regardless of the UDPHS_IEN register EPT_x bit for this endpoint. Then, the firmware will have to clear or disable the interrupt source or clear this bit if transfer completion is needed.

If the exception raised is associated with the new system bank packet, then the previous DMA packet transfer is normally completed, but the new DMA packet transfer is not started (not requested).

If the exception raised is not associated to a new system bank packet (NAK_IN, NAK_OUT...), then the request cancellation may happen at any time and may immediately stop the current DMA transfer.

This may be used, for example, to identify or prevent an erroneous packet to be transferred into a buffer or to complete a DMA buffer by software after reception of a short packet.

NYET\_DIS: NYET Disable (Only for High Speed Bulk OUT Endpoints) (cleared upon USB reset)

0: Lets the hardware handle the handshake response for the High Speed Bulk OUT transfer.

1: Forces an ACK response to the next High Speed Bulk OUT transfer instead of a NYET response.

Note: According to the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Rev 2.0 (8.5.1.1 NAK Responses to OUT/DATA During PING Protocol), a NAK response to an HS Bulk OUT transfer is expected to be an unusual occurrence.

This register view is relevant only if EPT_TYPE = 0x1 in UDPHS Endpoint Configuration Register.

EPT\_ENABL: Endpoint Enable (cleared upon USB reset)

0: The endpoint is disabled according to the device configuration. Endpoint 0 should always be enabled after a hardware or UDPHS bus reset and participate in the device configuration.

1: The endpoint is enabled according to the device configuration.

AUTO\_VALID: Packet Auto-Valid Enabled (cleared upon USB reset)

Set this bit to automatically validate the current packet and switch to the next bank for both IN and OUT endpoints.

For IN Transfer:

If this bit is set, the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register TXRDY_TRER bit is set automatically when the current bank is full and at the end of DMA buffer if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register END_B_EN bit is set.

The user may still set the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register TXRDY_TRER bit if the current bank is not full, unless the user needs to send a Zero Length Packet by software.

For OUT Transfer:

If this bit is set, the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register RXRDY_TXKL bit is automatically reset for the current bank when the last packet byte has been read from the bank FIFO or at the end of DMA buffer if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register END_B_EN bit is set. For example, to truncate a padded data packet when the actual data transfer size is reached.

The user may still clear the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register RXRDY_TXKL bit, for example, after completing a DMA buffer by software if UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register END_B_EN bit was disabled or in order to cancel the read of the remaining data bank(s).

INTDIS\_DMA: Interrupt Disables DMA (cleared upon USB reset)

If set, when an enabled endpoint-originated interrupt is triggered, the DMA request is disabled regardless of the UDPHS_IEN register EPT_x bit for this endpoint. Then, the firmware will have to clear or disable the interrupt source or clear this bit if transfer completion is needed.

If the exception raised is associated with the new system bank packet, then the previous DMA packet transfer is normally completed, but the new DMA packet transfer is not started (not requested).

If the exception raised is not associated to a new system bank packet (ex: ERR_FL_ISO), then the request cancellation may happen at any time and may immediately stop the current DMA transfer.

This may be used, for example, to identify or prevent an erroneous packet to be transferred into a buffer or to complete a DMA buffer by software after reception of a short packet, or to perform buffer truncation on ERR_FL_ISO interrupt for adaptive rate.

DATAX\_RX: DATAx Interrupt Enabled (Only for High Bandwidth Isochronous OUT endpoints) (cleared upon USB reset)

0: No effect.

1: If set a STALL answer will be done to the host for the next handshake.

This bit is reset by hardware upon received SETUP.

TOGGLESQ\_STA: Toggle Sequencing (cleared upon USB reset)

Toggle Sequencing:

– IN endpoint: It indicates the PID Data Toggle that will be used for the next packet sent. This is not relative to the current bank.

- CONTROL and OUT endpoint:

These bits are set by hardware to indicate the PID data of the current bank:

ValueNameDescription
0DATA0DATA0
1DATA1DATA1
2DATA2Reserved for High Bandwidth Isochronous Endpoint
3MDATAReserved for High Bandwidth Isochronous Endpoint

Note 1: In OUT transfer, the Toggle information is meaningful only when the current bank is busy (Received OUT Data = 1).

2: These bits are updated for OUT transfer:

  • A new data has been written into the current bank.
  • The user has just cleared the Received OUT Data bit to switch to the next bank.

3: This field is reset to DATA1 by the UDPHS_EPTCLRSTAx register TOGGLESQ bit, and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

ERR\_OVFLW: Overflow Error (cleared upon USB reset)

This bit is set by hardware when a new too-long packet is received.

Example: If the user programs an endpoint 64 bytes wide and the host sends 128 bytes in an OUT transfer, then the Overflow Error bit is set.

This bit is updated at the same time as the BYTE_COUNT field.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

RXRDY_TXKL: Received OUT Data/KILL Bank (cleared upon USB reset)

– Received OUT Data (for OUT endpoint or Control endpoint):

This bit is set by hardware after a new packet has been stored in the endpoint FIFO.

This bit is cleared by the device firmware after reading the OUT data from the endpoint.

For multi-bank endpoints, this bit may remain active even when cleared by the device firmware, this if an other packet has been received meanwhile.

Hardware assertion of this bit may generate an interrupt if enabled by the UDPHS_EPTCTLx register RXRDY_TXKL bit.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

  • KILL Bank (for IN endpoint):
  • The bank is really cleared or the bank is sent, BUSY_BANK_STA is decremented.
  • The bank is not cleared but sent on the IN transfer, TX_COMPLT
  • The bank is not cleared because it was empty. The user should wait that this bit is cleared before trying to clear another packet.

Note: "Kill a packet" may be refused if at the same time, an IN token is coming and the current packet is sent on the UDPHS line. In this case, the TX_COMPLT bit is set. Take notice however, that if at least two banks are ready to be sent, there is no problem to kill a packet even if an IN token is coming. In fact, in that case, the current bank is sent (IN transfer) and the last bank is killed.

TX_COMPLT: Transmitted IN Data Complete (cleared upon USB reset)

This bit is set by hardware after an IN packet has been accepted (ACK'ed) by the host.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint), and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

TXRDY: TX Packet Ready (cleared upon USB reset)

This bit is cleared by hardware after the host has acknowledged the packet.

For Multi-bank endpoints, this bit may remain clear even after software is set if another bank is available to transmit.

Hardware clear of this bit may generate an interrupt if enabled by the UDPHS_EPTCTLx register TXRDY bit.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint), and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

RX_SETUP: Received SETUP (cleared upon USB reset)

– (for Control endpoint only)

This bit is set by hardware when a valid SETUP packet has been received from the host.

It is cleared by the device firmware after reading the SETUP data from the endpoint FIFO.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint), and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

STALL_SNT: Stall Sent (cleared upon USB reset)

– (for Control, Bulk and Interrupt endpoints)

This bit is set by hardware after a STALL handshake has been sent as requested by the UDPHS_EPTSTAx register FRCESTALL bit.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

NAK_IN: NAK IN (cleared upon USB reset)

This bit is set by hardware when a NAK handshake has been sent in response to an IN request from the Host.

This bit is cleared by software.

NAK_OUT: NAK OUT (cleared upon USB reset)

This bit is set by hardware when a NAK handshake has been sent in response to an OUT or PING request from the Host.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by EPT_CTL_DISx (disable endpoint).

CURBK_CT LDIR: Current Bank/Control Direction (cleared upon USB reset)

– Current Bank (not relevant for Control endpoint):

These bits are set by hardware to indicate the number of the current bank.

Value Name Description
0 BANK0 Bank 0 (or single bank)
1 BANK1 Bank 1
2 BANK2 Bank 2

Note: The current bank is updated each time the user:

  • Sets the TX Packet Ready bit to prepare the next IN transfer and to switch to the next bank.
  • Clears the received OUT data bit to access the next bank.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

– Control Direction (for Control endpoint only):

0: A Control Write is requested by the Host.

1: A Control Read is requested by the Host.

Note 1: This bit corresponds with the 7th bit of the bmRequestType (Byte 0 of the Setup Data).

2: This bit is updated after receiving new setup data.

BUSY\_BANK\_STA: Busy Bank Number (cleared upon USB reset)

These bits are set by hardware to indicate the number of busy banks.

IN endpoint: It indicates the number of busy banks filled by the user, ready for IN transfer.

OUT endpoint: It indicates the number of busy banks filled by OUT transaction from the Host.

Value Name Description
0 0BUS YBANK All banks are free
1 1BUS YBANK 1 busy bank
2 2BUS YBANKS 2 busy banks
3 3BUS YBANKS 3 busy banks

BYTE\_COUNT: UDPHS Byte Count (cleared upon USB reset)

Byte count of a received data packet.

This field is incremented after each write into the endpoint (to prepare an IN transfer).

This field is decremented after each reading into the endpoint (OUT transfer).

This field is also updated at RXRDY_TXKL flag clear with the next bank.

This field is also updated at TXRDY flag set with the next bank.

This field is reset by EPT_x of UDPHS_EPTRST register.

SHRT\_PCKT: Short Packet (cleared upon USB reset)

An OUT Short Packet is detected when the receive byte count is less than the configured UDPHS_EPTCFGx register EPT_Size.

This bit is updated at the same time as the BYTE_COUNT field.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

TOGGLESQ_STA------

This register view is relevant only if EPT_TYPE = 0x1 in UDPHS Endpoint Configuration Register.

TOGGLESQ\_STA: Toggle Sequencing (cleared upon USB reset)

Toggle Sequencing:

- IN endpoint: It indicates the PID Data Toggle that will be used for the next packet sent. This is not relative to the current bank.

- OUT endpoint:

These bits are set by hardware to indicate the PID data of the current bank:

ValueNameDescription
0DATA0DATA0
1DATA1DATA1
2DATA2Data2 (only for High Bandwidth Isochronous Endpoint)
3MDATAMData (only for High Bandwidth Isochronous Endpoint)

Note 1: In OUT transfer, the Toggle information is meaningful only when the current bank is busy (Received OUT Data = 1).

2: These bits are updated for OUT transfer:

  • A new data has been written into the current bank.
  • The user has just cleared the Received OUT Data bit to switch to the next bank.

3: For High Bandwidth Isochronous Out endpoint, it is recommended to check the UDPHS_EPTSTAx/TXRDY_TRER bit to know if the toggle sequencing is correct or not.

4: This field is reset to DATA1 by the UDPHS_EPTCLRSTAx register TOGGLESQ bit, and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

ERR\_OVFLW: Overflow Error (cleared upon USB reset)

This bit is set by hardware when a new too-long packet is received.

Example: If the user programs an endpoint 64 bytes wide and the host sends 128 bytes in an OUT transfer, then the Overflow Error bit is set.

This bit is updated at the same time as the BYTE_COUNT field.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

RXRDY_TXKL: Received OUT Data/KILL Bank (cleared upon USB reset)

– Received OUT Data (for OUT endpoint or Control endpoint):

This bit is set by hardware after a new packet has been stored in the endpoint FIFO.

This bit is cleared by the device firmware after reading the OUT data from the endpoint.

For multi-bank endpoints, this bit may remain active even when cleared by the device firmware, this if an other packet has been received meanwhile.

Hardware assertion of this bit may generate an interrupt if enabled by the UDPHS_EPTCTLx register RXRDY_TXKL bit.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

- KILL Bank (for IN endpoint):

- The bank is really cleared or the bank is sent, BUSY_BANK_STA is decremented.

- The bank is not cleared but sent on the IN transfer, TX_COMPLT

- The bank is not cleared because it was empty. The user should wait that this bit is cleared before trying to clear another packet.

Note: "Kill a packet" may be refused if at the same time, an IN token is coming and the current packet is sent on the UDPHS line. In this case, the TX_COMPLT bit is set. Take notice however, that if at least two banks are ready to be sent, there is no problem to kill a packet even if an IN token is coming. In fact, in that case, the current bank is sent (IN transfer) and the last bank is killed.

TX\_COMPLT: Transmitted IN Data Complete (cleared upon USB reset)

This bit is set by hardware after an IN packet has been sent.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint), and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

TXRDY\_TRER: TX Packet Ready/Transaction Error (cleared upon USB reset)

- TX Packet Ready:

This bit is cleared by hardware, as soon as the packet has been sent.

For Multi-bank endpoints, this bit may remain clear even after software is set if another bank is available to transmit.

Hardware clear of this bit may generate an interrupt if enabled by the UDPHS_EPTCTLx register TXRDY_TRER bit.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint), and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

- Transaction Error (for high bandwidth isochronous OUT endpoints) (Read-Only):

This bit is set by hardware when a transaction error occurs inside one microframe.

If one toggle sequencing problem occurs among the n-transactions (n = 1, 2 or 3) inside a microframe, then this bit is still set as long as the current bank contains one "bad" n-transaction (see CURBK: Current Bank (cleared upon USB reset)). As soon as the current bank is relative to a new "good" n-transactions, then this bit is reset.

Note 1: A transaction error occurs when the toggle sequencing does not comply with the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Rev 2.0 (5.9.2 High Bandwidth Isochronous endpoints) (Bad PID, missing data....)

2: When a transaction error occurs, the user may empty all the "bad" transactions by clearing the Received OUT Data flag (RXRDY_TXKL).

If this bit is reset, then the user should consider that a new n-transaction is coming.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint), and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

ERR\_FL\_ISO: Error Flow (cleared upon USB reset)

This bit is set by hardware when a transaction error occurs.

– Isochronous IN transaction is missed, the micro has no time to fill the endpoint (underflow).

– Isochronous OUT data is dropped because the bank is busy (overflow).

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

ERR\_CRC\_NTR: CRC ISO Error/Number of Transaction Error (cleared upon USB reset)

- CRC ISO Error (for Isochronous OUT endpoints) (Read-only):

This bit is set by hardware if the last received data is corrupted (CRC error on data).

This bit is updated by hardware when new data is received (Received OUT Data bit).

- Number of Transaction Error (for High Bandwidth Isochronous IN endpoints):

This bit is set at the end of a microframe in which at least one data bank has been transmitted, if less than the number of transactions per micro-frame banks (UDPHS_EPTCFGx register NB_TRANS) have been validated for transmission inside this microframe.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

ERR\_FLUSH: Bank Flush Error (cleared upon USB reset)

– (for High Bandwidth Isochronous IN endpoints)

This bit is set when flushing unsent banks at the end of a microframe.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by EPT_CTL_DISx (disable endpoint).

CURBK: Current Bank (cleared upon USB reset)

- Current Bank:

These bits are set by hardware to indicate the number of the current bank.

Value Name Description
0 BANK0 Bank 0 (or single bank)
1 BANK1 Bank 1
2 BANK2 Bank 2

Note: The current bank is updated each time the user:
- Sets the TX Packet Ready bit to prepare the next IN transfer and to switch to the next bank.
- Clears the received OUT data bit to access the next bank.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

BUSY\_BANK\_STA: Busy Bank Number (cleared upon USB reset)

These bits are set by hardware to indicate the number of busy banks.

- IN endpoint: It indicates the number of busy banks filled by the user, ready for IN transfer.

– OUT endpoint: It indicates the number of busy banks filled by OUT transaction from the Host.

Value Name Description
0 0BUSYBANK All banks are free
1 1BUSYBANK 1 busy bank
2 2BUSYBANKS 2 busy banks
3 3BUSYBANKS 3 busy banks

BYTE\_COUNT: UDPHS Byte Count (cleared upon USB reset)

Byte count of a received data packet.

This field is incremented after each write into the endpoint (to prepare an IN transfer).

This field is decremented after each reading into the endpoint (OUT transfer).

This field is also updated at RXRDY_TXKL flag clear with the next bank.

This field is also updated at TXRDY_TRER flag set with the next bank.

This field is reset by EPT_x of UDPHS_EPTRST register.

SHRT\_PCKT: Short Packet (cleared upon USB reset)

An OUT Short Packet is detected when the receive byte count is less than the configured UDPHS_EPTCFGx register EPT_Size.

This bit is updated at the same time as the BYTE_COUNT field.

This bit is reset by UDPHS_EPTRST register EPT_x (reset endpoint) and by UDPHS_EPTCTLDISx (disable endpoint).

34.7.21 UDPHS DMA Channel Transfer Descriptor

The DMA channel transfer descriptor is loaded from the memory.

Be careful with the alignment of this buffer.

The structure of the DMA channel transfer descriptor is defined by three parameters as described below:

Offset 0:

The address must be aligned: 0xXXXX0

Next Descriptor Address Register: UDPHS_DMANXTDSCx

Offset 4:

The address must be aligned: 0xXXXX4

DMA Channelx Address Register: UDPHS_DMAADDRESSx

Offset 8:

The address must be aligned: 0xXXXX8

DMA Channelx Control Register: UDPHS_DMACONTROLx

To use the DMA channel transfer descriptor, fill the structures with the correct value (as described in the following pages).

Then write directly in UDPHS_DMANXTDSCx the address of the descriptor to be used first.

Then write 1 in the LDNXT_DSC bit of UDPHS_DMACONTROLx (load next channel transfer descriptor). The descriptor is automatically loaded upon Endpointx request for packet transfer.

BUFF\_ADD: Buffer Address

This field determines the AHB bus starting address of a DMA channel transfer.

Channel start and end addresses may be aligned on any byte boundary.

The firmware may write this field only when the UDPHS_DMASTATUS register CHANN_ENB bit is clear.

This field is updated at the end of the address phase of the current access to the AHB bus. It is incrementing of the access byte width. The access width is 4 bytes (or less) at packet start or end, if the start or end address is not aligned on a word boundary.

The packet start address is either the channel start address or the next channel address to be accessed in the channel buffer.

The packet end address is either the channel end address or the latest channel address accessed in the channel buffer.

The channel start address is written by software or loaded from the descriptor, whereas the channel end address is either determined by the end of buffer or the UDPHS device, USB end of transfer if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register END_TR_EN bit is set.

BURST_LCKDESC_LD_ITEND_BUFFITEND_TR_ITEND_B_ENEND_TR_ENLDNXT_DSCCHANN_ENB

Note: Channel 0 is not used.

CHANN\_ENB: (Channel Enable Command)

0: DMA channel is disabled at and no transfer will occur upon request. This bit is also cleared by hardware when the channel source bus is disabled at end of buffer.

If the UDPHS_DMACONTROL register LDNXT_DSC bit has been cleared by descriptor loading, the firmware will have to set the corresponding CHANN_ENB bit to start the described transfer, if needed.

If the UDPHS_DMACONTROL register LDNXT_DSC bit is cleared, the channel is frozen and the channel registers may then be read and/or written reliably as soon as both UDPHS_DMASTATUS register CHANN_ENB and CHANN_ACT flags read as 0.

If a channel request is currently serviced when this bit is cleared, the DMA FIFO buffer is drained until it is empty, then the UDPHS_DMASTATUS register CHANN_ENB bit is cleared.

If the LDNXT_DSC bit is set at or after this bit clearing, then the currently loaded descriptor is skipped (no data transfer occurs) and the next descriptor is immediately loaded.

1: UDPHS_DMASTATUS register CHANN_ENB bit will be set, thus enabling DMA channel data transfer. Then any pending request will start the transfer. This may be used to start or resume any requested transfer.

LDNXT\_DSC: Load Next Channel Transfer Descriptor Enable (Command)

0: No channel register is loaded after the end of the channel transfer.

1: The channel controller loads the next descriptor after the end of the current transfer, i.e., when the UDPHS_DMASTATUS/CHANN_ENB bit is reset.

If the UDPHS_DMA CONTROL/CHANN_ENB bit is cleared, the next descriptor is immediately loaded upon transfer request.

DMA Channel Control Command Summary

LDNXT_DSCCHANN_ENBDescription
00Stop now
01Run and stop at end of buffer
10Load next descriptor now
11Run and link at end of buffer

END\_TR\_EN: End of Transfer Enable (Control)

Used for OUT transfers only.

0: USB end of transfer is ignored.

1: UDPHS device can put an end to the current buffer transfer.

When set, a BULK or INTERRUPT short packet or the last packet of an ISOCHRONOUS (micro) frame (DATAX) will close the current buffer and the UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register END_TR_ST flag will be raised.

This is intended for UDPHS non-prenegotiated end of transfer (BULK or INTERRUPT) or ISOCHRONOUS microframe data buffer closure.

END\_B\_EN: End of Buffer Enable (Control)

0: DMA Buffer End has no impact on USB packet transfer.

1: Endpoint can validate the packet (according to the values programmed in the UDPHS_EPTCTLx register AUTO_VALID and SHRT_PCKT fields) at DMA Buffer End, i.e., when the UDPHS_DMASTATUS register BUFF_COUNT reaches 0.

This is mainly for short packet IN validation initiated by the DMA reaching end of buffer, but could be used for OUT packet truncation (discarding of unwanted packet data) at the end of DMA buffer.

END\_TR\_IT: End of Transfer Interrupt Enable

0: UDPHS device initiated buffer transfer completion will not trigger any interrupt at UDPHS_STATUSx/END_TR_ST rising.

1: An interrupt is sent after the buffer transfer is complete, if the UDPHS device has ended the buffer transfer.

Use when the receive size is unknown.

END\_BUFFIT: End of Buffer Interrupt Enable

0: UDPHS_DMA_STATUSx/END_BF_ST rising will not trigger any interrupt.

1: An interrupt is generated when the UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register BUFF_COUNT reaches zero.

DESC\_LD\_IT: Descriptor Loaded Interrupt Enable

0: UDPHS_DMASTATUSx/DESC_LDST rising will not trigger any interrupt.

1: An interrupt is generated when a descriptor has been loaded from the bus.

BURST LCK: Burst Lock Enable

0: The DMA never locks bus access.

1: USB packets AHB data bursts are locked for maximum optimization of the bus bandwidth usage and maximization of fly-by AHB burst duration.

BUFF\_LENGTH: Buffer Byte Length (Write-only)

This field determines the number of bytes to be transferred until end of buffer. The maximum channel transfer size (64 Kbytes) is reached when this field is 0 (default value). If the transfer size is unknown, this field should be set to 0, but the transfer end may occur earlier under UDPHS device control.

When this field is written, The UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register BUFF_COUNT field is updated with the write value.

Note 1: Bits [31:2] are only writable when issuing a channel Control Command other than "Stop Now".

2: For reliability it is highly recommended to wait for both UDPHS_DMASTATUSx register CHAN_ACT and CHAN_ENB flags are at 0, thus ensuring the channel has been stopped before issuing a command other than "Stop Now".

- DESCLDST END_BFST END_TR_ST-- CHANN_ACTCHANN_ENB

Note: Channel 0 is not used.

CHANN\_ENB: Channel Enable Status

0: The DMA channel no longer transfers data, and may load the next descriptor if the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register LDNXT_DSC bit is set.

When any transfer is ended either due to an elapsed byte count or a UDPHS device initiated transfer end, this bit is automatically reset.

1: The DMA channel is currently enabled and transfers data upon request.

This bit is normally set or cleared by writing into the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register CHANN_ENB bit either by software or descriptor loading.

If a channel request is currently serviced when the UDPHS_DMACONTROLx register CHANN_ENB bit is cleared, the DMA FIFO buffer is drained until it is empty, then this status bit is cleared.

CHANN\_ACT: Channel Active Status

0: The DMA channel is no longer trying to source the packet data.

When a packet transfer is ended this bit is automatically reset.

1: The DMA channel is currently trying to source packet data, i.e., selected as the highest-priority requesting channel.

When a packet transfer cannot be completed due to an END_BF_ST, this flag stays set during the next channel descriptor load (if any) and potentially until UDPHS packet transfer completion, if allowed by the new descriptor.

END\_TR\_ST: End of Channel Transfer Status

0: Cleared automatically when read by software.

1: Set by hardware when the last packet transfer is complete, if the UDPHS device has ended the transfer.

Valid until the CHANN_ENB flag is cleared at the end of the next buffer transfer.

END\_BF\_ST: End of Channel Buffer Status

0: Cleared automatically when read by software.

1: Set by hardware when the BUFF_COUNT downcount reach zero.

Valid until the CHANN_ENB flag is cleared at the end of the next buffer transfer.

DESC\_LDST: Descriptor Loaded Status

0: Cleared automatically when read by software.

1: Set by hardware when a descriptor has been loaded from the system bus.

Valid until the CHANN_ENB flag is cleared at the end of the next buffer transfer.

BUFF\_COUNT: Buffer Byte Count

This field determines the current number of bytes still to be transferred for this buffer.

This field is decremented from the AHB source bus access byte width at the end of this bus address phase.

The access byte width is 4 by default, or less, at DMA start or end, if the start or end address is not aligned on a word boundary.

At the end of buffer, the DMA accesses the UDPHS device only for the number of bytes needed to complete it.

This field value is reliable (stable) only if the channel has been stopped or frozen (UDPHS_EPTCTLx register NT_DIS_DMA bit is used to disable the channel request) and the channel is no longer active CHANN_ACT flag is 0.

Note: For OUT endpoints, if the receive buffer byte length (BUFF_LENGTH) has been defaulted to zero because the USB transfer length is unknown, the actual buffer byte length received will be 0x10000-BUFF_COUNT.

Access to the USB host operational registers is achieved through the AHB bus slave interface. The Open HCI host controller and Enhanced HCI host controller initialize master DMA transfers through the AHB bus master interface as follows:

  • Fetches endpoint descriptors and transfer descriptors
  • Access to endpoint data from system memory
  • Access to the HC communication area
  • Write status and retire transfer descriptor

Memory access errors (abort, misalignment) lead to an “Unrecoverable Error” indicated by the corresponding flag in the host controller operational registers.

The USB root hub is integrated in the USB host. Several USB downstream ports are available. The number of downstream ports can be determined by the software driver reading the root hub's operational registers. Device connection is automatically detected by the USB host port logic.

USB physical transceivers are integrated in the product and driven by the root hub's ports.

Over current protection on ports can be activated by the USB host controller. The Microchip standard product does not dedicate pads to external over current protection.

35.5 Product Dependencies

35.5.1 I/O Lines

HFSDPs, HFSDMs, HHSDPs and HHSDMs are not controlled by any PIO controllers. The embedded USB High Speed physical transceivers are controlled by the USB host controller.

One transceiver is shared with the USB High Speed Device (port A). The selection between Host Port A and USB Device is controlled by the UDPHS enable bit (EN_UDPHS) located in the UDPHS_CTRL register.

In the case the port A is driven by the USB High Speed Device, the output signals are DFSDP, DFSDM, DHSDP and DHSDM. The transceiver is automatically selected for Device operation once the USB High Speed Device is enabled.

In the case the port A is driven by the USB High Speed Host, the output signals are HFSDPA, HFSDMA, HHSDPA and HHSDMA.

35.5.2 Power Management

The system embeds 3 transceivers.

The USB Host High Speed requires a 480 MHz clock for the embedded High-speed transceivers. This clock (UPLLCK) is provided by the UTMI PLL.

In case power consumption is saved by stopping the UTMI PLL, high-speed operations are not possible. Nevertheless, OHCI Full-speed operations remain possible by selecting PLLACK as the input clock of OHCI.

The High-speed transceiver returns a 30 MHz clock to the USB Host controller.

The USB Host controller requires 48 MHz and 12 MHz clocks for OHCI full-speed operations. These clocks must be generated by a PLL with a correct accuracy of ±0.25% using the USBDIV field.

Thus the USB Host peripheral receives three clocks from the Power Management Controller (PMC): the Peripheral Clock (MCK domain), the UHP48M and the UHP12M (built-in UHP48M divided by four) used by the OHCI to interface with the bus USB signals (recovered 12 MHz domain) in Full-speed operations.

For High-speed operations, the user has to perform the following:

  • Enable UHP peripheral clock in PMC_PCER.
  • Write PLLCOUNT field in CKGR_UCKR.
  • Enable UPLL with UPLLEN bit in CKGR_UCKR.
  • Wait until UTMI_PLL is locked (LOCKU bit in PMC_SR).
  • Enable BIAS with BIASEN bit in CKGR_UCKR.
  • Select UPLLCK as Input clock of OHCI part (USBS bit in PMC_USB register).
  • Program OHCI clocks (UHP48M and UHP12M) with USBDIV field in PMC_USB register. USBDIV must be 9 (division by 10) if UPLLCK is selected.
  • Enable OHCI clocks with UHP bit in PMC_SCER.

For OHCI Full-speed operations only, the user has to perform the following:

  • Enable UHP peripheral clock in PMC_PCER.
  • Select PLLACK as Input clock of OHCI part (USBS bit in PMC_USB register).
  • Program OHCI clocks (UHP48M and UHP12M) with USBDIV field in PMC_USB register. USBDIV value is to be calculated according to the PLLACK value and USB Full-speed accuracy.
  • Enable the OHCI clocks with UHP bit in PMC_SCER.

35.5.3 Interrupt Sources

The USB host interface has an interrupt line connected to the interrupt controller.

Handling USB host interrupts requires programming the interrupt controller before configuring the UHPHS.

35.6 Functional Description

35.6.1 UTMI Transceivers Sharing

The High Speed USB Host Port A is shared with the High Speed USB Device port and connected to the second UTMI transceiver. The selection between Host Port A and USB device is controlled by the UDPHS enable bit (EN_UDPHS) located in the UDPHS_CTRL register.

35.6.2 EHCl

The USB Host Port controller is fully compliant with the Enhanced HCI specification. The USB Host Port User Interface (registers description) can be found in the Enhanced HCI Rev 1.0 Specification available on www.usb.org. The standard EHCI USB stack driver can be easily ported to Microchip architecture in the same way all existing class drivers run, without hardware specialization.

35.6.3 OHCI

The USB Host Port integrates a root hub and transceivers on downstream ports. It provides several Full-speed half-duplex serial communication ports at a baud rate of 12 Mbit/s. Up to 127 USB devices (printer, camera, mouse, keyboard, disk, etc.) and the USB hub can be connected to the USB host in the USB "tiered star" topology.

The USB Host Port controller is fully compliant with the Open HCI specification. The USB Host Port User Interface (registers description) can be found in the Open HCI Rev 1.0 Specification available on www.usb.org. The standard OHCI USB stack driver can be easily ported to Microchip architecture, in the same way all existing class drivers run without hardware specialization.

This means that all standard class devices are automatically detected and available to the user's application. As an example, integrating an HID (Human Interface Device) class driver provides a plug & play feature for all USB keyboards and mouses.

35.7 USB Host High Speed Port (UHPHS) User Interface

The Enhanced USB Host Controller contains two sets of software-accessible hardware registers – Memory-mapped Host Controller Registers and optional PCI configuration registers. Note that the PCI configuration registers are only needed for PCI devices that implement the Host Controller.

- Memory-mapped USB Host Controller Registers. This block of registers is memory-mapped into non-cacheable memory. This memory space must begin on a DWord (32-bit) boundary. This register space is divided into two sections: a set of read-only capability registers and a set of read/write operational registers. Table 35-1 describes each register space.

Table 35-1: Enhanced Interface Register Sets

Offset Register Set Explanation
0 to N-1 Capability RegistersThe capability registers specify the limits, restrictions, and capabilities of a host controller implementation.These values are used as parameters to the host controller driver.
N to N+M-1 Operational RegistersThe operational registers are used by system software to control and monitor the operational state of the host controller.

Note: Host controllers are not required to support exclusive-access mechanisms (such as PCI LOCK) for accesses to the memory-mapped register space. Therefore, if software attempts exclusive-access mechanisms to the host controller memory-mapped register space, the results are undefined.

- PCI Configuration Registers (for PCI devices). In addition to the normal PCI header, power management, and device-specific registers, two registers are needed in the PCI configuration space to support USB. The normal PCI header and device-specific registers are beyond the scope of this document (the UHPHS_CLASSC register is shown in this document). Note that HCD does not interact with the PCI configuration space. This space is used only by the PCI enumerator to identify the USB Host Controller, and assign the appropriate system resources.

Note 1: Field-dependent.

2: The default value depends on whether the Asynchronous Schedule Park Capability (ASPC) field in the UHPHS_HCCPARAMS register is enabled. Disabled (set to 0) = 0x0008 0000h; Enabled (set to 1) = 0x0008 0B00h.

3: The default value depends on the value of the Port Power Control (PPC) field in the UHPHS_HCSPARAMS register. 0x0000 2000h (with PPC set to 1); 0x0000 3000h (with PPC set to 0).

4: Software should not assume reserved bits are always 0 and should preserve these bits when writing to modifiable registers.

5: This value is determined by coreConsultant.

- PPCN_PORTS

This is a set of fields that are structural parameters: number of downstream ports, etc.

N PORTS: Number of Ports

This field specifies the number of physical downstream ports implemented on this host controller. The value of this field determines how many port registers are addressable in the Operational Register Space. Valid values are in the range of 1H to FH.

A zero in this field is undefined.

PPC: Port Power Control

This field indicates whether the host controller implementation includes port power control. A one in this bit indicates the ports have port power switches. A zero in this bit indicates the ports do not have port power switches. The value of this field affects the functionality of the Port Power field in each port status and control register (see Section 35.7.12 UHPHS Port Status and Control Register).

N\_PCC: Number of Ports per Companion Controller

This field indicates the number of ports supported per companion host controller. It is used to indicate the port routing configuration to system software.

For example, if N_PORTS has a value of 6 and N_CC has a value of 2, then N_PCC could have a value of 3. The convention is that the first N_PCC ports are assumed to be routed to companion controller 1, the next N_PCC ports to companion controller 2, etc. In the previous example, the N_PCC could have been 4, where the first four are routed to companion controller 1 and the last two are routed to companion controller 2.

The number in this field must be consistent with N_PORTS and N_CC.

N\_CC: Number of Companion Controllers

This field indicates the number of companion controllers associated with this USB 2.0 host controller.

A zero in this field indicates there are no companion host controllers. Port-ownership hand-off is not supported. Only high-speed devices are supported on the host controller root ports.

A value larger than zero in this field indicates there are companion USB 1.1 host controller(s). Port-ownership hand-offs are supported. High, Full- and Low-speed devices are supported on the host controller root ports.

P\_INDICATOR: Port Indicators

This bit indicates whether the ports support port indicator control. When this bit is a 1, the port status and control registers include a read/writeable field for controlling the state of the port indicator. See Section 35.7.12 UHPHS Port Status and Control Register for definition of the port indicator control field.

N\_DP: Debug Port Number

Optional. This register identifies which of the host controller ports is the debug port. The value is the port number (1-based) of the debug port. A non-zero value in this field indicates the presence of a debug port. The value in this register must not be greater than N_PORTS (see above).

EECP
76543210
IST-ASPCPFLFAC

This is a set of fields that are capability parameters: Multiple Mode control (time-base bit functionality), addressing capability, etc.

AC: 64-bit Addressing Capability

This field documents the addressing range capability of this implementation. The value of this field determines whether software should use 32-bit or 64-bit data structures.

Values for this field have the following interpretation:

0: Data structures using 32-bit address memory pointers

1: Data structures using 64-bit address memory pointers

Note: This is not tightly coupled with the UHPHS_USBBASE address register mapping control. The 64-bit Addressing Capability bit indicates whether the host controller can generate 64-bit addresses as a master. The UHPHS_USBBASE register indicates the host controller only needs to decode 32-bit addresses as a slave.

PFLF: Programmable Frame List Flag

The default value is implementation-dependent.

If this bit is set to 0, then system software must use a frame list length of 1024 elements with this host controller. The UHPHS_USBCMD register Frame List Size field is a read-only register and should be set to 0.

If set to 1, then system software can specify and use a smaller frame list and configure the host controller via the UHPHS_USBCMD register Frame List Size field. The frame list must always be aligned on a 4-kbyte page boundary. This requirement ensures that the frame list is always physically contiguous.

ASPC: Asynchronous Schedule Park Capability

The default value is Implementation dependent.

If this bit is set to 1, then the host controller supports the park feature for high-speed queue heads in the Asynchronous Schedule. The feature can be disabled or enabled and set to a specific level by using the Asynchronous Schedule Park Mode Enable and Asynchronous Schedule Park Mode Count fields in the UHPHS_USBCMD register.

IST: Isochronous Scheduling Threshold

The default value is Implementation dependent.

This field indicates, relative to the current position of the executing host controller, where software can reliably update the isochronous schedule. When bit [7] is 0, the value of the least significant 3 bits indicates the number of micro-frames a host controller can hold a set of isochronous data structures (one or more) before flushing the state. When bit [7] is set to 1, then host software assumes the host controller may cache an isochronous data structure for an entire frame.

EECP: EHCI Extended Capabilities Pointer

The default value is Implementation dependent.

This optional field indicates the existence of a capabilities list. A value of 00h indicates no extended capabilities are implemented. A non-zero value in this register indicates the offset in PCI configuration space of the first EHCI extended capability. The pointer value must be 40h or greater if implemented to maintain the consistency of the PCI header defined for this class of device.

- ASPME-ASPMC
76543210
LHCRIAAD ASEPSEFLS HCRESETRS

The Command Register indicates the command to be executed by the serial bus host controller. Writing to the register causes a command to be executed.

RS: Run/Stop (read/write)

0: Stop (default value).

1: Run.

When set to 1, the Host Controller proceeds with execution of the schedule. The Host Controller continues execution as long as this bit is set to 1. When this bit is set to 0, the Host Controller completes the current and any actively pipelined transactions on the USB and then halts. The Host Controller must halt within 16 micro-frames after software clears the Run bit. The HC Halted bit in the status register indicates when the Host Controller has finished its pending pipelined transactions and has entered the stopped state. Software must not write 1 to this field unless the host controller is in the Halted state (i.e., HCHalted in the UHPHS_USBSTS register is 1). Doing so will yield undefined results.

HCRESET: Host Controller Reset (read/write)

This control bit is used by software to reset the host controller. The effects of this on Root Hub registers are similar to a Chip Hardware Reset.

When software writes a 1 to this bit, the Host Controller resets its internal pipelines, timers, counters, state machines, etc. to their initial value. Any transaction currently in progress on USB is immediately terminated. A USB reset is not driven on downstream ports.

PCI Configuration registers are not affected by this reset. All operational registers, including port registers and port state machines, are set to their initial values. Port ownership reverts to the companion host controller(s) with side effects. Software must reinitialize the host controller in order to return the host controller to an operational state.

This bit is set to 0 by the Host Controller when the reset process is complete. Software cannot terminate the reset process early by writing a 0 to this register.

Software should not set this bit to 1 when the HCHalted bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register is 0. Attempting to reset an actively running host controller will result in undefined behavior.

FLS: Frame List Size (read/write or read-only)

This field is R/W only if Programmable Frame List Flag in the UHPHS_HCCPARAMS registers is set to 1. This field specifies the size of the frame list. The size of the frame list controls which bits in the Frame Index Register should be used for the Frame List Current index.

00b: 1024 elements (4096 bytes) (default value).

01b: 512 elements (2048 bytes).

10b: 256 elements (1024 bytes), for resource-constrained environments.

11b: Reserved.

PSE: Periodic Schedule Enable (read/write)

This bit controls whether the host controller skips processing the Periodic Schedule.

0: Do not process the Periodic Schedule (default value).

1: Use the UHPHS_PERIODICLISTBASE register to access the Periodic Schedule.

ASE: Asynchronous Schedule Enable (read/write)

This bit controls whether the host controller skips processing the Asynchronous Schedule.

0: Do not process the Asynchronous Schedule (default value).

1: Use the UHPHS_ASYNCLISTADDR register to access the Asynchronous Schedule.

IAAD: Interrupt on Async Advance Doorbell (read/write)

This bit is used as a doorbell by software to tell the host controller to issue an interrupt the next time it advances asynchronous schedule. Software must write a 1 to this bit to ring the doorbell.

When the host controller has evicted all appropriate cached schedule state, it sets the Interrupt on Async Advance status bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register. If the Interrupt on Async Advance Enable bit in the UHPHS_USBINTR register is set to 1, then the host controller will assert an interrupt at the next interrupt threshold.

The host controller sets this bit to 0 after it has set the Interrupt on Async Advance status bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register to 1.

Software should not write a 1 to this bit when the asynchronous schedule is disabled. Doing so will yield undefined results.

LHCR: Light Host Controller Reset (optional) (read/write)

This control bit is not required. If implemented, it allows the driver to reset the EHCI controller without affecting the state of the ports or the relationship to the companion host controllers. For example, the UHPHS_PORTSC registers should not be reset to their default values and the CF bit setting should not go to 0 (retaining port ownership relationships).

A host software read of this bit as 0 indicates the Light Host Controller Reset has completed and it is safe for host software to re-initialize the host controller. A host software read of this bit as 1 indicates the Light Host Controller Reset has not yet completed.

If not implemented, a read of this field will always return a 0.

ASPMC: Asynchronous Schedule Park Mode Count (optional) (read/write or read-only)

If the Asynchronous Park Capability bit in the UHPHS_HCCPARAMS register is set to 1, then this field defaults to 3h and is R/W. Otherwise it defaults to 0 and is RO. It contains a count of the number of successive transactions the host controller is allowed to execute from a high-speed queue head on the Asynchronous schedule before continuing traversal of the Asynchronous schedule. Valid values are 1h to 3h. Software must not write a 0 to this bit when Park Mode Enable is set to 1 as this will result in undefined behavior.

ASPME: Asynchronous Schedule Park Mode Enable (optional) (read/write or read-only)

If the Asynchronous Park Capability bit in the UHPHS_HCCPARAMS register is set to 1, then this bit defaults to a 1h and is R/W. Otherwise the bit must be a 0 and is RO. Software uses this bit to enable or disable Park mode. When this bit is set to 1, Park mode is enabled. When this bit is set to 0, Park mode is disabled.

ITC: Interrupt Threshold Control (read/write)

This field is used by system software to select the maximum rate at which the host controller will issue interrupts. The only valid values are defined below. If software writes an invalid value to this register, the results are undefined.

Value MaximumInterrupt Interval
00h Reserved
01h 1 micro-frame
02h 2 micro-frames
04h 4 micro-frames
08h 8 micro-frames (default, equates to 1 ms)
10h 16 micro-frames (2 ms)
20h 32 micro-frames (4 ms)
40h 64 micro-frames (8 ms)

Any other value in this register yields undefined results.

Software modifications to this bit while HCHalted bit is equal to 0 results in undefined behavior.

76543210
-IAA HSEFLRPCDUSBERRINTUSBINT

This register indicates pending interrupts and various states of the Host Controller. The status resulting from a transaction on the serial bus is not indicated in this register. Software sets a bit to 0 in this register by writing a 1 to it.

USBINT: USB Interrupt (read/write clear)

The Host Controller sets this bit to 1 on the completion of a USB transaction, which results in the retirement of a Transfer Descriptor that had its IOC bit set.

The Host Controller also sets this bit to 1 when a short packet is detected (the actual number of bytes received was less than the expected number of bytes).

USBERRINT: USB Error Interrupt (read/write clear)

The Host Controller sets this bit to 1 when completion of a USB transaction results in an error condition (e.g., error counter underflow). If the TD on which the error interrupt occurred also had its IOC bit set, both this bit and USBINT bit are set.

PCD: Port Change Detect (read/write clear)

The Host Controller sets this bit to 1 when any port for which the Port Owner bit is set to 0 (see Section 35.7.12 UHPHS Port Status and Control Register) has a change bit transition from 0 to 1 or a Force Port Resume bit transition from 0 to 1 as a result of a J-K transition detected on a suspended port. This bit will also be set as a result of the Connect Status Change being set to 1 after system software has relinquished ownership of a connected port by writing 1 to a port's Port Owner bit.

This bit is allowed to be maintained in the Auxiliary power well. Alternatively, it is also acceptable that on a D3 to D0 transition of the EHCI HC device, this bit is loaded with the OR of all of the PORTSC change bits (including: Force Port Resume, Over-Current Change, Enable/Disable Change and Connect Status Change).

FLR: Frame List Rollover (read/write clear)

The Host Controller sets this bit to 1 when the Frame List Index (see Section 35.7.7 UHPHS USB Frame Index Register) rolls over from its maximum value to 0. The exact value at which the rollover occurs depends on the frame list size. For example, if the frame list size (as programmed in the Frame List Size field of the UHPHS_USBCMD register) is 1024, the Frame Index Register rolls over every time FRINDEX[13] toggles. Similarly, if the size is 512, the Host Controller sets this bit to 1 every time FRINDEX[12] toggles.

HSE: Host System Error (read/write clear)

The Host Controller sets this bit to 1 when a serious error occurs during a host system access involving the Host Controller module. In a PCI system, conditions that set this bit to 1 include PCI Parity error, PCI Master Abort, and PCI Target Abort. When this error occurs, the Host Controller clears the Run/Stop bit in the Command register to prevent further execution of the scheduled TDs.

IAA: Interrupt on Async Advance (read/write clear)

0: Default.

System software can force the host controller to issue an interrupt the next time the host controller advances the asynchronous schedule by writing 1 to the Interrupt on the Async Advance Doorbell bit in the UHPHS_USBCMD register. This status bit indicates the assertion of that interrupt source.

HCHLT: HCHalted (read-only)

1: Default.

This bit is 0 whenever the Run/Stop bit is 1. The Host Controller sets this bit to 1 after it has stopped executing as a result of the Run/Stop bit being set to 0, either by software or by the Host Controller hardware (e.g. internal error).

RCM: Reclamation (read-only)

0: Default.

This is a read-only status bit used to detect any empty asynchronous schedule.

PSS: Periodic Schedule Status (read-only)

0: Default.

The bit reports the current real status of the Periodic Schedule. If this bit is set to 0, then the status of the Periodic Schedule is disabled. If this bit is set to 1, then the status of the Periodic Schedule is enabled. The Host Controller is not required to immediately disable or enable the Periodic Schedule when software transitions the Periodic Schedule Enable bit in the UHPHS_USBCMD register. When this bit and the Periodic Schedule Enable bit are the same value, the Periodic Schedule is either enabled (1) or disabled (0).

ASS: Asynchronous Schedule Status (read-only)

0: Default.

The bit reports the current real status of the Asynchronous Schedule. If this bit is set to 0, then the status of the Asynchronous Schedule is disabled. If this bit is set to 1, then the status of the Asynchronous Schedule is enabled. The Host Controller is not required to immediately disable or enable the Asynchronous Schedule when software transitions the Asynchronous Schedule Enable bit in the UHPHS_USBCMD register. When this bit and the Asynchronous Schedule Enable bit are the same value, the Asynchronous Schedule is either enabled (1) or disabled (0).

This register enables and disables reporting of the corresponding interrupt to the software. When a bit is set and the corresponding interrupt is active, an interrupt is generated to the host. Interrupt sources that are disabled in this register still appear in the UHPHS_USBSTS to allow the software to poll for events.

Each interrupt enable bit description indicates whether it is dependent on the interrupt threshold mechanism.

For all enable register bits, 1= Enabled, 0= Disabled.

USBIE: USB Interrupt Enable

When this bit is set to 1, and the USBINT bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register is 1, the host controller will issue an interrupt at the next interrupt threshold. The interrupt is acknowledged by software clearing the USBINT bit.

USBEIE: USB Error Interrupt Enable

When this bit is set to 1, and the USBERRINT bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register is 1, the host controller will issue an interrupt at the next interrupt threshold. The interrupt is acknowledged by software clearing the USBERRINT bit.

PCIE: Port Change Interrupt Enable

When this bit is set to 1, and the Port Change Detect bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register is 1, the host controller will issue an interrupt. The interrupt is acknowledged by software clearing the Port Change Detect bit.

FLRE: Frame List Rollover Enable

When this bit is set to 1, and the Frame List Rollover bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register is 1, the host controller will issue an interrupt. The interrupt is acknowledged by software clearing the Frame List Rollover bit.

HSEE: Host System Error Enable

When this bit is set to 1, and the Host System Error Status bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register is 1, the host controller will issue an interrupt. The interrupt is acknowledged by software clearing the Host System Error bit.

IAAE: Interrupt on Async Advance Enable

When this bit is set to 1, and the Interrupt on Async Advance bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register is 1, the host controller will issue an interrupt at the next interrupt threshold. The interrupt is acknowledged by software clearing the Interrupt on Async Advance bit.

This register is used by the host controller to index into the periodic frame list. The register updates every 125 microseconds (once each micro-frame). Bits [N:3] are used to select a particular entry in the Periodic Frame List during periodic schedule execution. The number of bits used for the index depends on the size of the frame list as set by system software in the Frame List Size field in the UHPHS_USBCMD register (see Section 35.7.4 UHPHS USB Command Register).

This register must be written as a DWord. Byte writes produce undefined results. This register cannot be written unless the Host Controller is in the Halted state as indicated by the HCHalted bit (UHPHS_USBSTS register, Section 35.7.5 UHPHS USB Status Register). A write to this register while the Run/Stop bit is set to 1 (UHPHS_USBCMD register, Section 35.7.4 UHPHS USB Command Register) produces undefined results. Writes to this register also affect the SOF value.

Fl: Frame Index

The value in this register increments at the end of each time frame (e.g. micro-frame). Bits [N:3] are used for the Frame List current index. This means that each location of the frame list is accessed eight times (frames or micro-frames) before moving to the next index. The following illustrates values of N based on the value of the Frame List Size field in the UHPHS_USBCMD register.

USBCMD [Frame List Size] Number Elements N
00b (1024) 12
01b (512)11
10b (256)10
11bReserved

The SOF frame number value for the bus SOF token is derived or alternatively managed from this register. The value of FRINDEX must be 125 ?sec (1 micro-frame) ahead of the SOF token value. The SOF value may be implemented as an 11-bit shadow register. For this discussion, this shadow register is 11 bits and is named SOFV. SOFV updates every eight micro-frames (1 millisecond). An example implementation to achieve this behavior is to increment SOFV each time the FRINDEX[2:0] increments from 0 to 1.

Software must use the value of FRINDEX to derive the current micro-frame number, both for high-speed isochronous scheduling purposes and to provide the "get micro-frame number" function required for client drivers. Therefore, the value of FRINDEX and the value of SOFV must be kept consistent if chip is reset or software writes to FRINDEX. Writes to FRINDEX must also write-through FRINDEX[13:3] to SOFV[10:0]. In order to keep the update as simple as possible, software should never write a FRINDEX value where the three least significant bits are 111b or 000b.

35.7.8 UHPHS Control Data Structure Segment Register

Name:UHPHS_CTRLDSSEGMENT

Access: Read/Write

This 32-bit register corresponds to the most significant address bits [63:32] for all EHCI data structures. If the 64-bit Addressing Capability field in UHPHS_HCCPARAMS is set to 0, then this register is not used. Software cannot write to it and a read from this register will return zeros.

If the 64-bit Addressing Capability field in UHPHS_HCCPARAMS is 1, then this register is used with the link pointers to construct 64-bit addresses to EHCI control data structures. This register is concatenated with the link pointer from either the UHPHS_PERIODICLISTBASE, UHPHS_ASYNCLISTADDR, or any control data structure link field to construct a 64-bit address.

This register must be written as a DWord. Byte writes produce undefined results. This register allows the host software to locate all control data structures within the same 4-Gigabyte memory segment.

This 32-bit register contains the beginning address of the Periodic Frame List in the system memory. If the host controller is in 64-bit mode (as indicated by a 1 in the 64-bit Addressing Capability field in the UHPHS_HCCSPARAMS register), then the most significant 32 bits of every control data structure address comes from the UHPHS_CTRLDSSEGMENT register (see Section 35.7.8 UHPHS Control Data Structure Segment Register). System software loads this register prior to starting the schedule execution by the Host Controller. The memory structure referenced by this physical memory pointer is assumed to be 4-Kbyte aligned. The contents of this register are combined with the Frame Index Register (UHPHS_FRINDEX) to enable the Host Controller to step through the Periodic Frame List in sequence. This register must be written as a DWord. Byte writes produce undefined results.

This 32-bit register contains the address of the next asynchronous queue head to be executed. If the host controller is in 64-bit mode (as indicated by a 1 in the 64-bit Addressing Capability field in the UHPHS_HCCPARAMS register), then the most significant 32 bits of every control data structure address comes from the UHPHS_CTRLDSSEGMENT register (See Section 35.7.8 UHPHS Control Data Structure Segment Register). Bits [4:0] of this register cannot be modified by system software and will always return a zero when read. The memory structure referenced by this physical memory pointer is assumed to be 32-byte (cache line) aligned. This register must be written as a DWord. Byte writes produce undefined results.

These bits correspond to memory address signals [31:5], respectively. This field may only reference a Queue Head (QH).

A host controller must implement one or more port registers. The number of port registers implemented by a particular instantiation of a host controller is documented in the UHPHS_HCSPARAMS register (Section 35.7.2 UHPHS Host Controller Structural Parameters Register). Software uses this information as an input parameter to determine how many ports need to be serviced. All ports have the structure defined below.

This register is in the auxiliary power well. It is only reset by hardware when the auxiliary power is initially applied or in response to a host controller reset. The initial conditions of a port are:

  • No device connected
  • Port disabled

If the port has port power control, software cannot change the state of the port until after it applies power to the port by setting port power to a 1. Software must not attempt to change the state of the port until after power is stable on the port. The host is required to have power stable to the port within 20 milliseconds of the 0 to 1 transition.

Note 1: When a device is attached, the port state transitions to the connected state and system software will process this as with any status change notification.

2: If a port is being used as the Debug Port, then the port may report device connected and enabled when the Configured Flag is set to 0.

CCS: Current Connect Status (read-only)

0: No device is present (default value).

1: Device is present on port.

This value reflects the current state of the port, and may not correspond directly to the event that caused the Connect Status Change bit (Bit 1) to be set.

This field is 0 if Port Power is 0.

CSC: Connect Status Change (read/write clear)

0: No change (default value).

1: Change in Current Connect Status.

Indicates a change has occurred in the port's Current Connect Status. The host controller sets this bit for all changes to the port device connect status, even if system software has not cleared an existing connect status change. For example, the insertion status changes twice before system software has cleared the changed condition, hub hardware will be "setting" an already-set bit (i.e., the bit will remain set). Software sets this bit to 0 by writing a 1 to it.

This field is 0 if Port Power is 0.

PED: Port Enabled/Disabled (read/write)

0: Disable (default value).

1: Enable.

Ports can only be enabled by the host controller as a part of the reset and enable. Software cannot enable a port by writing a 1 to this field. The host controller will only set this bit to 1 when the reset sequence determines that the attached device is a high-speed device.

Ports can be disabled by either a fault condition (disconnect event or other fault condition) or by host software. Note that the bit status does not change until the port state actually changes. There may be a delay in disabling or enabling a port due to other host controller and bus events.

When the port is disabled (0b), downstream propagation of data is blocked on this port, except for reset.

This field is 0 if Port Power is 0.

PEDC: Port Enable/Disable Change (read/write clear)

0: No change (default value).

1: Port enabled/disabled status has changed.

For the root hub, this bit gets set to 1 only when a port is disabled due to the appropriate conditions existing at the EOF2 point (See Chapter 11 of the USB Specification for the definition of a Port Error). Software clears this bit by writing a 1 to it.

This field is 0 if Port Power is 0.

OCA: Over-current Active (read-only)

0: This port does not have an over-current condition (default value).

1: This port currently has an over-current condition.

This bit will automatically transition from 1 to 0 when the over current condition is removed.

OCC: Over-current Change (read/write clear)

0: Default value.

1: This bit gets set to 1 when there is a change to Over-current Active.

Software clears this bit by writing 1 to this bit position.

FPR: Force Port Resume (read/write)

0: No resume (K-state) detected/driven on port (default value).

1: Resume detected/driven on port.

This functionality defined for manipulating this bit depends on the value of the Suspend bit. For example, if the port is not suspended (Suspend and Enabled bits are set to 1) and software transitions this bit to 1, then the effects on the bus are undefined.

Software sets this bit to a 1 to drive resume signaling. The Host Controller sets this bit to 1 if a J-to-K transition is detected while the port is in the Suspend state. When this bit transitions to 1 because a J-to-K transition is detected, the Port Change Detect bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register is also set to 1. If software sets this bit to 1, the host controller must not set the Port Change Detect bit.

Note that when the EHCI controller owns the port, the resume sequence follows the defined sequence documented in the USB Specification Revision 2.0. The resume signaling (Full-speed 'K') is driven on the port as long as this bit remains set to 1. Software must appropriately time the Resume and set this bit to 0 when the appropriate amount of time has elapsed. Writing a 0 (from 1) causes the port to return to High-Speed mode (forcing the bus below the port into a high-speed idle). This bit will remain set to 1 until the port has switched to the high-speed idle. The host controller must complete this transition within 2 milliseconds of software setting this bit to 0.

This field is 0 if Port Power is 0.

SUS: Suspend (read/write)

0: Port not in suspend state (default value).

1: Port in suspend state.

Port Enabled Bit and Suspend bit of this register define the port states as follows:

Bits [Port Enabled, Suspend] Port State
0X Disable
10 Enable
11 Suspend

When in suspend state, downstream propagation of data is blocked on this port, except for port reset. The blocking occurs at the end of the current transaction, if a transaction was in progress when this bit was written to 1. In the suspend state, the port is sensitive to resume detection. Note that the bit status does not change until the port is suspended and that there may be a delay in suspending a port if there is a transaction currently in progress on the USB.

A write of 0 to this bit is ignored by the host controller. The host controller will unconditionally set this bit to 0 when:

  • Software sets the Force Port Resume bit to 0 (from 1).
  • Software sets the Port Reset bit to 1 (from 0).

If host software sets this bit to 1 when the port is not enabled (i.e., Port Enabled bit set to 0), the results are undefined.

This field is 0 if Port Power is set to 0.

PR: Port Reset (read/write)

0: Port is not in Reset (default value).

1: Port is in Reset.

When software writes a 1 to this bit (from 0), the bus reset sequence as defined in the USB Specification Revision 2.0 is started. Software writes a 0 to this bit to terminate the bus reset sequence. Software must keep this bit set to 1 long enough to ensure the reset sequence, as specified in the USB Specification Revision 2.0, completes. Note: when software writes this bit to 1, it must also write 0 to the Port Enable bit.

When software writes a 0 to this bit, there may be a delay before the bit status changes to 0. The bit status will not read as 0 until after the reset has completed. If the port is in High-Speed mode after reset is complete, the host controller will automatically enable this port (e.g. set the Port Enable bit to 1). A host controller must terminate the reset and stabilize the state of the port within 2 milliseconds of software transitioning this bit from 1 to 0. For example: if the port detects that the attached device is high-speed during reset, then the host controller must have the port in the enabled state within 2 ms of software writing this bit to 0.

The HCHalted bit in the UHPHS_USBSTS register should be set to 0 before software attempts to use this bit. The host controller may hold Port Reset asserted to 1 when the HCHalted bit is 1.

This field is 0 if Port Power is 0.

LS: Line Status (read-only)

These bits reflect the current logical levels of the D+ (bit 11) and D- (bit 10) signal lines. These bits are used for detection of low-speed USB devices prior to the port reset and enable sequence. This field is valid only when the port enable bit is 0 and the current connect status bit is set to 1.

Bits are encoded as follows:

Bits[11:10] USB State Interpretation
00b SE0 Not a low-speed device, perform EHCI reset
10b J-state Not a low-speed device, perform EHCI reset
01b K-state Low-speed device, release ownership of port
11b Undefined Not a low-speed device, perform EHCI reset

This value of this field is undefined if Port Power is 0.

PP: Port Power (read/write or read-only)

The function of this bit depends on the value of the Port Power Control (PPC) field in the UHPHS_HCSPARAMS register. The behavior is as follows:

PPC PP Operation
0b1bRead-only.Host controller does not have port power control switches. Each port is hard-wired to power.
1b1b/0bRead/write.Host controller has port power control switches. This bit represents the current setting of the switch (0 = off, 1 = on). When power is not available on a port (i.e., PP at 0), the port is non-functional and will not report attaches, detaches, etc.

When an over-current condition is detected on a powered port and PPC is set to 1, the PP bit in each affected port may be transitioned by the host controller from 1 to 0 (removing power from the port).

PO: Port Owner (read/write)

0: This bit unconditionally goes to a 0 when the Configured bit in the UHPHS_CONFIGFLAG register makes a 0 to 1 transition.

1: This bit unconditionally goes to 1 whenever the Configured bit is 0 (default value).

System software uses this field to release ownership of the port to a selected host controller (in the event that the attached device is not a high-speed device). Software writes 1 to this bit when the attached device is not a high-speed device. A 1 in this bit means that a companion host controller owns and controls the port.

PIC: Port Indicator Control (read/write)

00b: Default value.

Writing to these bits has no effect if the P_INDICATOR bit in the UHPHS_HCSPARAMS register is set to 0. If the P_INDICATOR bit is set to 1, then the bits are encoded as follows:

Bit Value Meaning
00b Port indicators are off
01b Amber
10b Green
11b Undefined

Refer to the USB Specification Revision 2.0 for a description on how these bits are to be used.

This field is 0 if Port Power is 0.

PTC: Port Test Control (read/write)

0000b: Default value.

When this field is set to 0, the port is NOT operating in a test mode. A non-zero value indicates that it is operating in test mode and the specific test mode is indicated by the specific value.

Test mode bits are encoded as follows (0110b - 1111b are reserved):

Bits Test Mode
0000b Test mode not enabled
0001b Test J_STATE
0010b Test K_STATE
0011b Test SEO_NAK
0100b Test Packet
0101b Test FORCE_ENABLE

Refer to the USB Specification Revision 2.0, Chapter 7, for details on each test mode.

WKCNNT\_E: Wake on Connect Enable (read/write)

0: Default value.

Writing this bit to 1 enables the port to be sensitive to device connects as wake-up events.

This field is 0 if Port Power is 0.

WKDSCNNT\_E: Wake on Disconnect Enable (read/write)

0: Default value.

Writing this bit to 1 enables the port to be sensitive to device disconnects as wake-up events.

This field is 0 if Port Power is 0.

WKOC_E: Wake on Over-current Enable (read/write)

0: Default value.

Writing this bit to 1 enables the port to be sensitive to over-current conditions as wake-up events.

This field is 0 if Port Power is 0.

MFC\_16: Microframe Counter with Word Byte Interface

This value is used as the 1-microframe counter with 16-bit interface.

MFC\_8: Microframe Counter with Byte Interface

This value is used as the 1-microframe counter with 8-bit interface.

Debug: Debug Purposes

This field is used for debug purposes only.

In Heterogeneous mode, if the per port clock gets out of sync (but still within the ppm limits) of the phy_clk, then the per port SOF counter needs some correction relative to the global SOF counter. The RTL corrects itself if this happens.

This field controls the SOF correction, in case some debugging is required for the correction.

If bit 14 is set to 1, then it enables the RTL to use the value in bits 19:15 to perform the correction.

In normal operating mode, these bits should not be written.

Note:

The "value" in bits [31:1] must be programmed as follows: (value + 32/64) * Clock Period = microframe timer duration

Factor 32 is used for a 16-bit interface and factor 64 is used for an 8-bit interface. For example, for the full (125 sec) microframe duration:

  • In 8-bit, 60-MHz mode, the value is h1D0C (=7436), so (7436 + 64) * 16.67 ns = 125 μs
  • In 16-bit, 30-MHz mode, the value is hE86 (=3718), so (3718 + 32) * 33.33 ns = 125 μs

For a 50 sec microframe duration:

  • In 8-bit, 60-MHz mode, the value is hB77 (=2395), so (2395 + 64) * 16.67 ns = 50 μs
  • In 16-bit, 30-MHz mode, the value is h5BC (=1468), so (1468 + 32) * 33.33 ns = 50 μs

In_Threshold

Programmable Packet Buffer OUT/IN thresholds (in CONFIG1 mode only, not applicable in Config2 mode).

The value specified here is the number of DWORDs (32-bit entries).

In\_Threshold: Amount of Data Available in the IN Packet Buffer

The IN threshold is used to start the memory transfer as soon as the IN threshold amount of data is available in the Packet Buffer. It is also used to disconnect the data write, if the threshold amount of data is not available in the Packet Buffer.

Out\_Threshold: Amount of Data Available in the OUT Packet Buffer

The OUT threshold is used to start the USB transfer as soon as the OUT threshold amount of data is fetched from system memory. It is also used to disconnect the data fetch, if the threshold amount of space is not available in the Packet Buffer.

The minimum OUT and IN threshold amount that can be programmed through INSN registers is 16 bytes.

For INCRX configurations, the minimum threshold amount that can be programmed is the highest possible INCRX burst value. For example, if the value of the strap signals {ss_ena_incr16_i, ss_ena_incr8_i, ss_ena_incr4_i} is 3'b011 (for example, INCR16 burst is disabled, INCR8/INCR4 bursts are enabled), then the minimum OUT and IN threshold values should be 32 bytes (8 DWords).

OUT and IN threshold values can be equal to the packet buffer depth only when one of the following conditions is met:

  • The packet buffer depth is equal to 512 bytes and isochronous/interrupt transactions are not initiated by the host controller.
  • The packet buffer depth is equal to 1024 bytes.

The threshold default value depends on one of the following packet buffer configurations:

• 1024 bytes depth, 256 bytes IN and OUT thresholds
- 512 bytes depth, 128 bytes IN and OUT thresholds
• 256 bytes depth, 64 bytes IN and OUT thresholds
• 128 bytes depth, 64 bytes IN and OUT thresholds
- 64 bytes depth, 60 bytes IN and OUT thresholds

For INCRX configurations, the Break Memory Transfer bit is always enabled.

Depending on the different packet buffer settings, not all MSB bits are used.

This value indicates the additional number of bytes to be accommodated for the time-available calculation. The USB traffic on the bus can be started only when sufficient time is available to complete the packet within the EOF1 point.

Refer to the USB 2.0 specification for details of the EOF1 point. This time-available calculation is done in the hardware, and can be further offset by programming a value in this location.

Note: Time-available calculation is added for future flexibility. The application is not required to program this field by default.

Per\_Frame: Periodic Frame List Fetch

In CONFIG1 mode only ("EHCI Descriptor/Data Prefetching" is disabled in core configuration), setting this bit forces the host controller to fetch the periodic frame list in every microframe of a frame. If not set, then the periodic frame list is fetched only in microframe 0 of every frame.

The default is 0 (not set). This bit can be changed only during core initialization and should not be changed afterwards.

Tx\_Tx: Tx-Tx turnaround Delay Add-on

This field specifies the extra delays in phy_clks to be added to the "Transmit to Transmit turnaround delay" value maintained in the core. The default value of this register field is 0. This default value of 0 is sufficient for most PHYs. But for some PHYs which enter wait states during the token packet, it may be required to program a value greater than 0 to meet the transmit-to-transmit minimum turnaround time.

It is recommended to use default value 0 and to change it only if there is an issue with minimum transmit-to-transmit turnaround time.

This value should be programmed during core initialization and should not be changed afterwards.

Ignore\_LS: Ignore Linestate during TestSE0 Nak

When set to 1 (default), the core ignores the linestate checking when transmitting SOF in SE0_NAK Test mode.

When set to 0, the port state machine disables the port if it does not find the linestate to be in SE0 when transmitting SOF during the SE0_NAK test.

While performing impedance measurement during the SE0_NAK test, the linestate could go to non SE0 forcing the core to disable the port. This bit is used to control the port behavior during this operation.

EN\_CK256: Enable 256 Clock Checking

This bit controls the End of Resume sequence of the EHCI host controller.

By default, the value of this bit is 0 and during the End of Resume sequence, the host controller waits for SEO on the linestate before switching the PHY to High-Speed.

When set to 1, during the End of Resume sequence, the controller waits for SE0 or 256 clocks before switching the PHY to High-Speed.

Setting this bit to 1 enables the 256-clock check. Some of the UTMI PHYs do not present SE0 on the linestate during the End of Resume sequence. For such PHYs, this bit should be set, so that the core does not wait forever for SE0.

This bit should be set only during initialization.

Bit [5] has an added functionality in release 2.80a and later. For systems where the host is halted without waking up all ports out of suspend, the port can remain suspended because the PHYCLK is not running when the halt is programmed. To avoid this, the DWC H20AHB host core automatically pulls ports out of suspend when the host is halted by software.

This bit is used to disable this automatic function.

Reset value is 0.

36.5.1 I/O Lines

The pins used for interfacing the GMAC may be multiplexed with PIO lines. The programmer must first program the PIO Controller to assign the pins to their peripheral function. If I/O lines of the GMAC are not used by the application, they can be used for other purposes by the PIO Controller.

36.6 Functional Description

36.6.1 Media Access Controller

The Media Access Controller (MAC) transmit block takes data from FIFO, adds preamble and, if necessary, pad and frame check sequence (FCS). Both half duplex and full duplex Ethernet modes of operation are supported. When operating in half duplex mode, the MAC transmit block generates data according to the carrier sense multiple access with collision detect (CSMA/CD) protocol. The start of transmission is deferred if carrier sense (CRS) is active. If collision (COL) becomes active during transmission, a jam sequence is asserted and the transmission is retried after a random back off. The CRS and COL signals have no effect in full duplex mode. When operating in gigabit mode half duplex, both carrier extension and frame bursting are performed in accordance with the IEEE 802.3 standard.

The MAC receive block checks for valid preamble, FCS, alignment and length, and presents received frames to the MAC address checking block and FIFO. Software can configure the GMAC to receive jumbo frames up to 10240 bytes. It can optionally strip CRC from the received frame prior to transfer to FIFO.

The address checker recognizes four specific 48-bit addresses, can recognize four different type ID values, and contains a 64-bit Hash register for matching multicast and unicast addresses as required. It can recognize the broadcast address of all ones and copy all frames. The MAC can also reject all frames that are not VLAN tagged and recognize Wake on LAN events.

The MAC receive block supports offloading of IP, TCP and UDP checksum calculations (both IPv4 and IPv6 packet types supported), and can automatically discard bad checksum frames.

36.6.2 1588 Timestamp Unit

The 1588 timestamp unit (TSU) is implemented as a 94-bit timer.

The 48 upper bits [93:46] of the timer count seconds and are accessible in the GMAC 1588 Timer Seconds High Register (GMAC_TSH) and GMAC 1588 Timer Seconds Low Register (GMAC_TSL). The 30 lower bits [45:16] of the timer count nanoseconds and are accessible in the GMAC 1588 Timer Nanoseconds Register (GMAC_TN). The lowest 16 bits [15:0] of the timer count sub-nanoseconds.

The 46 lower bits roll over when they have counted to one second. The timer increments by a programmable period (to approximately 15.2 femtoseconds resolution) with each MCK period and can also be adjusted in 1ns resolution (incremented or decremented) through APB register accesses.

36.6.3 AHB Direct Memory Access Interface

The GMAC DMA controller is connected to the MAC FIFO interface and provides a scatter-gather type capability for packet data storage.

The DMA implements packet buffering where dual-port memories are used to buffer multiple frames.

36.6.3.1 Packet Buffer DMA

  • Easier to ensure maximum line rate due to the ability to store multiple frames in the packet buffer, where the number of frames is limited by the amount of packet buffer memory and Ethernet frame size
    • Full store and forward, or partial store and forward programmable options (partial store will cater for shorter latency requirements)
  • Support for Transmit TCP/IP checksum offload

• Support for priority queueing
- When a collision on the line occurs during transmission, the packet will be automatically replayed directly from the packet buffer memory rather than having to re-fetch through the AHB (full store and forward ONLY)
- Received errored packets are automatically dropped before any of the packet is presented to the AHB (full store and forward ONLY), thus reducing AHB activity
• Supports manual RX packet flush capabilities
- Optional RX packet flush when there is lack of AHB resource

36.6.3.2 Partial Store and Forward Using Packet Buffer DMA

The DMA uses SRAM-based packet buffers, and can be programmed into a low latency mode, known as Partial Store and Forward. This allows for a reduced latency as the full packet is not buffered before forwarding. Note that this option is only available when the device is configured for full duplex operation. This feature is enabled via the programmable TX and RX Partial Store and Forward registers (GMAC_TPSF and GMAC_RPSF). When the transmit Partial Store and Forward mode is activated, the transmitter will only begin to forward the packet to the MAC when there is enough packet data stored in the packet buffer. Likewise, when the receive Partial Store and Forward mode is activated, the receiver will only begin to forward the packet to the AHB when enough packet data is stored in the packet buffer. The amount of packet data required to activate the forwarding process is programmable via watermark registers which are located at the same address as the partial store and forward enable bits. Note that the minimum operational value for the TX partial store and forward watermark is 20. There is no operational limit for the RX partial store and forward watermark. Enabling partial store and forward is a useful means to reduce latency, but there are performance implications. The GMAC DMA uses separate transmit and receive lists of buffer descriptors, with each descriptor describing a buffer area in memory. This allows Ethernet packets to be broken up and scattered around the AHB memory space.

36.6.3.3 Receive AHB Buffers

Received frames, optionally including FCS, are written to receive AHB buffers stored in memory. The receive buffer depth is programmable in the range of 64 bytes to 16 Kbytes through the DMA Configuration register (GMAC_DCFGR), with the default being 128 bytes.

The start location for each receive AHB buffer is stored in memory in a list of receive buffer descriptors at an address location pointed to by the receive buffer queue pointer. The base address for the receive buffer queue pointer is configured in software using the Receive Buffer Queue Base Address register (GMAC_RBQB).

Each list entry consists of two words. The first is the address of the receive AHB buffer and the second the receive status. If the length of a receive frame exceeds the AHB buffer length, the status word for the used buffer is written with zeroes except for the "start of frame" bit, which is always set for the first buffer in a frame. Bit zero of the address field is written to 1 to show the buffer has been used. The receive buffer manager then reads the location of the next receive AHB buffer and fills that with the next part of the received frame data. AHB buffers are filled until the frame is complete and the final buffer descriptor status word contains the complete frame status. Refer to Table 36-4 for details of the receive buffer descriptor list.

Each receive AHB buffer start location is a word address. The start of the first AHB buffer in a frame can be offset by up to three bytes, depending on the value written to bits 14 and 15 of the Network Configuration register (GMAC_NCFGR). For 64-bit datapaths, the start of the frame can be offset by up to a further four bytes if bit 2 of the AHB buffer start location in the buffer descriptor is set. If the start location of the AHB buffer is offset, the available length of the first AHB buffer is reduced by the corresponding number of bytes.

To receive frames, the AHB buffer descriptors must be initialized by writing an appropriate address to bits 31:2 in the first word of each

If jumbo frames are enabled, these 12 bits are concatenated with bit[13] of the descriptor above.With FCS discard mode enabled:(bit 17 set in Network Configuration Register)Least significant 12 bits for length of frame excluding FCS. If jumbo frames are enabled, these 12 bits are concatenated with bit[13] of the descriptor above.

list entry. Bit 0 must be written with zero. Bit 1 is the wrap bit and indicates the last entry in the buffer descriptor list.

The start location of the receive buffer descriptor list must be written with the receive buffer queue base address before reception is enabled (receive enable in the Network Control (GMAC_NCR) register). Once reception is enabled, any writes to the Receive Buffer Queue Base Address register are ignored. When read, it will return the current pointer position in the descriptor list, though this is only valid and stable when receive is disabled.

If the filter block indicates that a frame should be copied to memory, the receive data DMA operation starts writing data into the receive buffer. If an error occurs, the buffer is recovered.

An internal counter within the GMAC represents the receive buffer queue pointer and it is not visible through the CPU interface. The receive buffer queue pointer increments by two words after each buffer has been used. It re-initializes to the receive buffer queue base address if any descriptor has its wrap bit set.

As receive AHB buffers are used, the receive AHB buffer manager sets bit zero of the first word of the descriptor to logic one indicating the AHB buffer has been used.

Software should search through the "used" bits in the AHB buffer descriptors to find out how many frames have been received, checking the start of frame and end of frame bits.

When the DMA is configured in the packet buffer Partial Store And Forward mode, received frames are written out to the AHB buffers as soon as enough frame data exists in the packet buffer. For both cases, this may mean several full AHB buffers are used before some error conditions can be detected. If a receive error is detected the receive buffer currently being written will be recovered. Previous buffers will not be recovered. As an example, when receiving frames with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors or excessive length, it is possible that a frame fragment might be stored in a sequence of AHB receive buffers. Software can detect this by looking for start of frame bit set in a buffer following a buffer with no end of frame bit set.

To function properly, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet system should have no excessive length frames or frames greater than 128 bytes with CRC errors. Collision fragments will be less than 128 bytes long, therefore it will be a rare occurrence to find a frame fragment in a receive AHB buffer, when using the default value of 128 bytes for the receive buffers size.

When in packet buffer full store and forward mode, only good received frames are written out of the DMA, so no fragments will exist in the AHB buffers due to MAC receiver errors. There is still the possibility of fragments due to DMA errors, for example used bit read on the second buffer of a multi-buffer frame.

If bit zero of the receive buffer descriptor is already set when the receive buffer manager reads the location of the receive AHB buffer, then the buffer has been already used and cannot be used again until software has processed the frame and cleared bit zero. In this case, the "buffer not available" bit in the receive status register is set and an interrupt triggered. The receive resource error statistics register is also incremented.

When the DMA is configured in the packet buffer full store and forward mode, the user can optionally select whether received frames should be automatically discarded when no AHB buffer resource is available. This feature is selected via bit 24 of the DMA Configuration register (by default, the received frames are not automatically discarded). If this feature is off, then received packets will remain to be stored in the SRAM-based packet buffer until AHB buffer resource next becomes available. This may lead to an eventual packet buffer overflow if packets continue to be received when bit zero (used bit) of the receive buffer descriptor remains set. Note that after a used bit has been read, the receive buffer manager will re-read the location of the receive buffer descriptor every time a new packet is received. When the DMA is not configured in the packet buffer full store and forward mode and a used bit is read, the frame currently being received will be automatically discarded.

When the DMA is configured in the packet buffer full store and forward mode, a receive overrun condition occurs when the receive SRAM-based packet buffer is full, or because HRESP was not OK. In all other modes, a receive overrun condition occurs when either the AHB bus was not granted quickly enough, or because HRESP was not OK, or because a new frame has been detected by the receive block, but the status update or write back for the previous frame has not yet finished. For a receive overrun condition, the receive overrun interrupt is asserted and the buffer currently being written is recovered. The next frame that is received whose address is recognized reuses the buffer.

In any packet buffer mode, a write to bit 18 of GMAC_NCR will force a packet from the external SRAM-based receive packet buffer to be flushed. This feature is only acted upon when the RX DMA is not currently writing packet data out to AHB, i.e., it is in an IDLE state. If the RX DMA is active, a write to this bit is ignored.

36.6.3.4 Transmit AHB Buffers

Frames to transmit are stored in one or more transmit AHB buffers. Transmit frames can be between 1 and 16384 bytes long, so it is possible to transmit frames longer than the maximum length specified in the IEEE 802.3 standard. It should be noted that zero length AHB buffers are allowed and that the maximum number of buffers permitted for each transmit frame is 128.

The start location for each transmit AHB buffer is stored in memory in a list of transmit buffer descriptors at a location pointed to by the transmit buffer queue pointer. The base address for this queue pointer is set in software using the Transmit Buffer Queue Base Address register. Each list entry consists of two words. The first is the byte address of the transmit buffer and the second containing the transmit control and status. For the packet buffer DMA, the start location for each AHB buffer is a byte address, the bottom bits of the address being used to offset the start of the data from the data-word boundary (i.e., bits 2,1 and 0 are used to offset the address for 64-bit datapaths).

For bus widths of 64 or 128-bits however, the address of the buffer must be aligned to the correct 64-bit or 128-bit boundary, plus an offset of less than 4 bytes. (Note this alignment restriction in FIFO-based DMA mode only should be sufficient for applications as the main purpose is to allow alignment of the encapsulated IP packet. Given the 14 bytes of MAC encapsulation, an offset of 2 will always align the IP header to a 128-bit boundary.)

Frames can be transmitted with or without automatic CRC generation. If CRC is automatically generated, pad will also be automatically generated to take frames to a minimum length of 64 bytes. When CRC is not automatically generated (as defined in word 1 of the transmit buffer descriptor), the frame is assumed to be at least 64 bytes long and pad is not generated.

An entry in the transmit buffer descriptor list is described in Table 36-5.

To transmit frames, the buffer descriptors must be initialized by writing an appropriate byte address to bits [31:0] in the first word of each descriptor list entry.

The second word of the transmit buffer descriptor is initialized with control information that indicates the length of the frame, whether or not the MAC is to append CRC and whether the buffer is the last buffer in the frame.

After transmission the status bits are written back to the second word of the first buffer along with the used bit. Bit 31 is the used bit which must be zero when the control word is read if transmission is to take place. It is written to one once the frame has been transmitted. Bits[29:20] indicate various transmit error conditions. Bit 30 is the wrap bit which can be set for any buffer within a frame. If no wrap bit is encountered the queue pointer continues to increment.

The Transmit Buffer Queue Base Address register can only be updated while transmission is disabled or halted; otherwise any attempted write will be ignored. When transmission is halted the transmit buffer queue pointer will maintain its value. Therefore when transmission is restarted the next descriptor read from the queue will be from immediately after the last successfully transmitted frame, while transmit is disabled (bit 3 of the Network Control register set low), the transmit buffer queue pointer resets to point to the address indicated by the Transmit Buffer Queue Base Address register. Note that disabling receive does not have the same effect on the receive buffer queue pointer.

Once the transmit queue is initialized, transmit is activated by writing to the transmit start bit (bit 9) of the Network Control register. Transmit is halted when a buffer descriptor with its used bit set is read, a transmit error occurs, or by writing to the transmit halt bit of the Network Control register. Transmission is suspended if a pause frame is received while the pause enable bit is set in the Network Configuration register. Rewriting the start bit while transmission is active is allowed. This is implemented with TXGO variable which is readable in the Transmit Status register at bit location 3. The TXGO variable is reset when:

  • Transmit is disabled.
  • A buffer descriptor with its ownership bit set is read.
  • Bit 10, THALT, of the Network Control register is written.
  • There is a transmit error such as too many retries, late collision (gigabit mode only) or a transmit underrun.

To set TXGO, write TSTART to the bit 9 of the Network Control register. Transmit halt does not take effect until any ongoing transmit finishes.

If the DMA is configured for packet buffer Partial Store and Forward mode and a collision occurs during transmission of a multi-buffer frame, transmission will automatically restart from the first buffer of the frame. For packet buffer mode, the entire contents of the frame are read into the transmit packet buffer memory, so the retry attempt will be replayed directly from the packet buffer memory rather than having to re-fetch through the AHB.

If a used bit is read midway through transmission of a multi-buffer frame, this is treated as a transmit error. Transmission stops, GTXER is asserted and the FCS will be bad.

If transmission stops due to a transmit error or a used bit being read, transmission restarts from the first buffer descriptor of the frame being transmitted when the transmit start bit is rewritten.

36.6.3.5 DMA Bursting on the AHB

The DMA will always use SINGLE, or INCR type AHB accesses for buffer management operations. When performing data transfers, the AHB burst length used can be programmed using bits 4:0 of the DMA Configuration register so that either SINGLE, INCR or fixed length incrementing bursts (INCR4, INCR8 or INCR16) are used where possible.

When there is enough space and enough data to be transferred, the programmed fixed length bursts will be used. If there is not enough data or space available, for example when at the beginning or the end of a buffer, SINGLE type accesses are used. Also SINGLE type accesses are used at 1024 byte boundaries, so that the 1 Kbyte boundaries are not burst over as per AHB requirements.

The DMA will not terminate a fixed length burst early, unless an error condition occurs on the AHB or if receive or transmit are disabled in the Network Control register.

36.6.3.6 DMA Packet Buffer

The DMA uses packet buffers for both transmit and receive paths. This mode allows multiple packets to be buffered in both transmit and receive directions. This allows the DMA to withstand far greater access latencies on the AHB and make more efficient use of the AHB bandwidth. There are two modes of operation—Full Store and Forward and Partial Store and Forward.

As described above (Section 36.6.3.2 Partial Store and Forward Using Packet Buffer DMA), the DMA can be programmed into a low latency mode, known as Partial Store and Forward. For further details of this mode, see Section 36.6.3.2 Partial Store and Forward Using Packet Buffer DMA.

When the DMA is in full store and forward mode, full packets are buffered which provides the possibility to:

  • Discard packets with error on the receive path before they are partially written out of the DMA, thus saving AHB bus bandwidth and driver processing overhead,
  • Retry collided transmit frames from the buffer, thus saving AHB bus bandwidth,
  • Implement transmit IP/TCP/UDP checksum generation offload.

With the packet buffers included, the structure of the GMAC data paths is shown in Figure 36-2.

36.6.3.7 Transmit Packet Buffer

The transmitter packet buffer will continue attempting to fetch frame data from the AHB system memory until the packet buffer itself is full, at which point it will attempt to maintain its full level.

To accommodate the status and statistics associated with each frame, three words per packet (or two if the GMAC is configured in 64-bit datapath mode) are reserved at the end of the packet data. If the packet is bad and requires to be dropped, the status and statistics are the only information held on that packet. Storing the status in the DPRAM is required in order to decouple the DMA interface of the buffer from the MAC interface, to update the MAC status/statistics and to generate interrupts in the order in which the packets that they represent were fetched from the AHB memory.

If any errors occur on the AHB while reading the transmit frame, the fetching of packet data from AHB memory is halted. The MAC transmitter will continue to fetch packet data, thereby emptying the packet buffer and allowing any good non-errored frames to be transmitted successfully. Once these have been fully transmitted, the status/statistics for the errored frame will be updated and software will be informed via an interrupt that an AHB error occurred. This way, the error is reported in the correct packet order.

The transmit packet buffer will only attempt to read more frame data from the AHB when space is available in the packet buffer memory. If space is not available it must wait until the a packet fetched by the MAC completes transmission and is subsequently removed from the packet buffer memory. Note that if full store and forward mode is active and if a single frame is fetched that is too large for the packet buffer

memory, the frame is flushed and the DMA halted with an error status. This is because a complete frame must be written into the packet buffer before transmission can begin, and therefore the minimum packet buffer memory size should be chosen to satisfy the maximum frame to be transmitted in the application.

In full store and forward mode, once the complete transmit frame is written into the packet buffer memory, a trigger is sent across to the MAC transmitter, which will then begin reading the frame from the packet buffer memory. Since the whole frame is present and stable in the packet buffer memory an underflow of the transmitter is not possible. The frame is kept in the packet buffer until notification is received from the MAC that the frame data has either been successfully transmitted or can no longer be retransmitted (too many retries in half duplex mode). When this notification is received the frame is flushed from memory to make room for a new frame to be fetched from AHB system memory.

In Partial Store and Forward mode, a trigger is sent across to the MAC transmitter as soon as sufficient packet data is available, which will then begin fetching the frame from the packet buffer memory. If, after this point, the MAC transmitter is able to fetch data from the packet buffer faster than the AHB DMA can fill it, an underflow of the transmitter is possible. In this case, the transmission is terminated early, and the packet buffer is completely flushed. Transmission can only be restarted by writing to the transmit START bit.

In half duplex mode, the frame is kept in the packet buffer until notification is received from the MAC that the frame data has either been successfully transmitted or can no longer be retransmitted (too many retries in half duplex mode). When this notification is received the frame is flushed from memory to make room for a new frame to be fetched from AHB system memory.

In full duplex mode, the frame is removed from the packet buffer on the fly.

Other than underflow, the only MAC related errors that can occur are due to collisions during half duplex transmissions. When a collision occurs the frame still exists in the packet buffer memory so can be retried directly from there. Only once the MAC transmitter has failed to transmit after sixteen attempts is the frame finally flushed from the packet buffer.

36.6.3.8 Receive Packet Buffer

The receive packet buffer stores frames from the MAC receiver along with their status and statistics. Frames with errors are flushed from the packet buffer memory, while good frames are pushed onto the DMA AHB interface.

The receiver packet buffer monitors the FIFO write interface from the MAC receiver and translates the FIFO pushes into packet buffer writes. At the end of the received frame the status and statistics are buffered so that the information can be used when the frame is read out. When programmed in full store and forward mode, if the frame has an error the frame data is immediately flushed from the packet buffer memory allowing subsequent frames to utilise the freed up space. The status and statistics for bad frames are still used to update the GMAC registers.

To accommodate the status and statistics associated with each frame, three words per packet (or two if configured in 64-bit datapath mode) are reserved at the end of the packet data. If the packet is bad and requires to be dropped, the status and statistics are the only information held on that packet.

The receiver packet buffer will also detect a full condition so that an overflow condition can be detected. If this occurs, subsequent packets are dropped and an RX overflow interrupt is raised.

For full store and forward, the DMA only begins packet fetches once the status and statistics for a frame are available. If the frame has a bad status due to a frame error, the status and statistics are passed on to the GMAC registers. If the frame has a good status, the information is used to read the frame from the packet buffer memory and burst onto the AHB using the DMA buffer management protocol. Once the last frame data has been transferred to the packet buffer, the status and statistics are updated to the GMAC registers.

If Partial Store and Forward mode is active, the DMA will begin fetching the packet data before the status is available. As soon as the status becomes available, the DMA will fetch this information as soon as possible before continuing to fetch the remainder of the frame. Once the last frame data has been transferred to the packet buffer, the status and statistics are updated to the GMAC registers.

36.6.4 MAC Transmit Block

The MAC transmitter can operate in either half duplex or full duplex mode and transmits frames in accordance with the Ethernet IEEE 802.3 standard. In half duplex mode, the CSMA/CD protocol of the IEEE 802.3 specification is followed.

A small input buffer receives data through the FIFO interface which, depending on the DMA bus width control bits in the Network Configuration register, will extract data in 32-bit or 64-bit form. All subsequent processing prior to the final output is performed in bytes.

Transmit data can be output using the GMII/MII interface.

Frame assembly starts by adding preamble and the start frame delimiter. Data is taken from the transmit FIFO interface a word at a time. When the GMAC is configured for gigabit operation, the data output to the PHY uses all eight bits of the txd[7:0] output. In 10/100 mode, transmit data to the PHY is nibble wide and least significant nibble first using txd[3:0] with txd[7:4] tied to logic 0.

If necessary, padding is added to take the frame length to 60 bytes. CRC is calculated using an order 32-bit polynomial. This is inverted and appended to the end of the frame taking the frame length to a minimum of 64 bytes. If the no CRC bit is set in the second word of the last buffer descriptor of a transmit frame, neither pad nor CRC are appended. The no CRC bit can also be set through the FIFO interface.

In full duplex mode (at all data rates), frames are transmitted immediately. Back to back frames are transmitted at least 96 bit times apart to ensure the interframe gap.

In half duplex mode, the transmitter checks carrier sense. If asserted, the transmitter waits for the signal to become inactive, and then starts transmission after the interframe gap of 96 bit times. If the collision signal is asserted during transmission, the transmitter will transmit a jam sequence of 32 bits taken from the data register and then retry transmission after the back off time has elapsed. If the collision occurs during either the preamble or Start Frame Delimiter (SFD), then these fields will be completed prior to generation of the jam sequence.

The back off time is based on an XOR of the 10 least significant bits of the data coming from the transmit FIFO interface and a 10-bit pseudo random number generator. The number of bits used depends on the number of collisions seen. After the first collision 1 bit is used, then the second 2 bits and so on up to the maximum of 10 bits. All 10 bits are used above ten collisions. An error will be indicated and no further attempts will be made if 16 consecutive attempts cause collision. This operation is compliant with the description in Clause 4.2.3.2.5 of the IEEE 802.3 standard which refers to the truncated binary exponential back off algorithm.

In 10/100 mode, both collisions and late collisions are treated identically, and back off and retry will be performed up to 16 times. When operating in gigabit mode, late collisions are treated as an exception and transmission is aborted, without retry. This condition is reported in the transmit buffer descriptor word 1 (late collision, bit 26) and also in the Transmit Status register (late collision, bit 7). An interrupt can also be generated (if enabled) when this exception occurs, and bit 5 in the Interrupt Status register will be set.

When operating in gigabit mode (half duplex) both carrier extension and frame bursting are performed in accordance with the IEEE 802.3 standard. For frames less than 512 bytes carrier extension is used to ensure the minimum slot time is not violated.

Frame bursting is used by the transmitter in gigabit mode (half duplex) when more than one frame is queued for transmission. The first frame of a burst must be carrier extended (if necessary) to ensure the minimum slot time of 512 bytes is achieved, after which all subsequent frames within the burst must only satisfy the minimum frame length of 64 bytes or greater. Each interframe gap within the burst is filled by the transmitter with carrier extensions, thus ensuring control of the medium is not given up. Several frames may be transmitted up to the burst limit of 65,536 bytes. The transmitter relinquishes control of the medium when there are no more frames queued for transmission or the burst limit is exceeded.

In gigabit mode any collisions occurring after the minimum slot time for the first frame within a burst are treated as a late collision. The burst is terminated upon this event.

In all modes of operation, if the transmit DMA underruns, a bad CRC is automatically appended using the same mechanism as jam insertion and the GTXER signal is asserted. For a properly configured system this should never happen and also it is impossible if configured to use the DMA with packet buffers, as the complete frame is buffered in local packet buffer memory.

By setting when bit 28 is set in the Network Configuration register, the Inter Packet Gap (IPG) may be stretched beyond 96 bits depending on the length of the previously transmitted frame and the value written to the IPG Stretch register (GMAC_IPGS). The least significant 8 bits of the IPG Stretch register multiply the previous frame length (including preamble). The next significant 8 bits (+1 so as not to get a divide by zero) divide the frame length to generate the IPG. IPG stretch only works in full duplex mode and when bit 28 is set in the Network Configuration register. The IPG Stretch register cannot be used to shrink the IPG below 96 bits.

If the back pressure bit is set in the Network Control register, or if the HDFC configuration bit is set in the GMAC_UR register (10M or 100M half duplex mode), the transmit block transmits 64 bits of data, which can consist of 16 nibbles of 1011 or in bit rate mode 64 1s, whenever it sees an incoming frame to force a collision. This provides a way of implementing flow control in half duplex mode. Note that this feature is not available in gigabit half duplex mode.

36.6.5 MAC Receive Block

All processing within the MAC receive block is implemented using a 16-bit data path. The MAC receive block checks for valid preamble, FCS, alignment and length, presents received frames to the FIFO interface and stores the frame destination address for use by the address checking block.

If, during the frame reception, the frame is found to be too long, a bad frame indication is sent to the FIFO interface. The receiver logic ceases to send data to memory as soon as this condition occurs.

At end of frame reception the receive block indicates to the DMA block whether the frame is good or bad. The DMA block will recover the current receive buffer if the frame was bad.

Ethernet frames are normally stored in DMA memory complete with the FCS. Setting the FCS remove bit in the network configuration (bit 17) causes frames to be stored without their corresponding FCS. The reported frame length field is reduced by four bytes to reflect this operation.

The receive block signals to the register block to increment the alignment, CRC (FCS), short frame, long frame, jabber or receive symbol errors when any of these exception conditions occur.

If bit 26 is set in the network configuration, CRC errors will be ignored and CRC errored frames will not be discarded, though the Frame Check Sequence Errors statistic register will still be incremented. Additionally, if not enabled for jumbo frames mode, then bit[13] of the receiver descriptor word 1 will be updated to indicate the FCS validity for the particular frame. This is useful for applications such as EtherCAT whereby individual frames with FCS errors must be identified.

Received frames can be checked for length field error by setting the length field error frame discard bit of the Network Configuration register (bit-16). When this bit is set, the receiver compares a frame's measured length with the length field (bytes 13 and 14) extracted from the frame. The frame is discarded if the measured length is shorter. This checking procedure is for received frames between 64 bytes and 1518 bytes in length.

Each discarded frame is counted in the 10-bit length field error statistics register. Frames where the length field is greater than or equal to 0x0600 hex will not be checked.

When operating in gigabit mode (half duplex), the receiver will discard frames which do not meet the minimal slot time of 512 bytes. If a burst is detected, the first frame is checked to ensure it meets the slot time, but all subsequent frames of the burst are checked to ensure they meet the minimum frame size of 64 bytes.

In gigabit mode (half duplex), carrier extension errors are detected by the receiver during the minimum slot time, and the frame discarded. An error of this nature causes the receive symbol errors statistic register to be incremented. Carrier extension errors occurring during the inter packet gap period are ignored and have no effect on the statistics.

36.6.6 Checksum Offload for IP, TCP and UDP

The GMAC can be programmed to perform IP, TCP and UDP checksum offloading in both receive and transmit directions, which is enabled by setting bit 24 in the Network Configuration register for receive and bit 11 in the DMA Configuration register for transmit.

IPv4 packets contain a 16-bit checksum field, which is the 16-bit 1's complement of the 1's complement sum of all 16-bit words in the header. TCP and UDP packets contain a 16-bit checksum field, which is the 16-bit 1's complement of the 1's complement sum of all 16-bit words in the header, the data and a conceptual IP pseudo header.

To calculate these checksums in software requires each byte of the packet to be processed. For TCP and UDP this can use a large amount of processing power. Offloading the checksum calculation to hardware can result in significant performance improvements.

For IP, TCP or UDP checksum offload to be useful, the operating system containing the protocol stack must be aware that this offload is available so that it can make use of the fact that the hardware can either generate or verify the checksum.

36.6.6.1 Receiver Checksum Offload

When receive checksum offloading is enabled in the GMAC, the IPv4 header checksum is checked as per RFC 791, where the packet meets the following criteria:

  • If present, the VLAN header must be four octets long and the CFI bit must not be set.
  • Encapsulation must be RFC 894 Ethernet Type Encoding or RFC 1042 SNAP Encoding.
  • IPv4 packet
  • IP header is of a valid length

The GMAC also checks the TCP checksum as per RFC 793, or the UDP checksum as per RFC 768, if the following criteria are met:

  • IPv4 or IPv6 packet
    • Good IP header checksum (if IPv4)
  • No IP fragmentation
  • TCP or UDP packet

When an IP, TCP or UDP frame is received, the receive buffer descriptor gives an indication if the GMAC was able to verify the checksums. There is also an indication if the frame had SNAP encapsulation. These indication bits will replace the type ID match indication bits when the receive checksum offload is enabled. For details of these indication bits refer to Table 36-4 Receive Buffer Descriptor Entry.

If any of the checksums are verified as incorrect by the GMAC, the packet is discarded and the appropriate statistics counter incremented.

36.6.6.2 Transmitter Checksum Offload

The transmitter checksum offload is only available if the full store and forward mode is enabled. This is because the complete frame to be transmitted must be read into the packet buffer memory before the checksum can be calculated and written back into the headers at the beginning of the frame.

Transmitter checksum offload is enabled by setting bit [11] in the DMA Configuration register. When enabled, it will monitor the frame as it is written into the transmitter packet buffer memory to automatically detect the protocol of the frame. Protocol support is identical to the receiver checksum offload.

For transmit checksum generation and substitution to occur, the protocol of the frame must be recognized and the frame must be provided without the FCS field, by making sure that bit [16] of the transmit descriptor word 1 is clear. If the frame data already had the FCS field, this would be corrupted by the substitution of the new checksum fields.

If these conditions are met, the transmit checksum offload engine will calculate the IP, TCP and UDP checksums as appropriate. Once the full packet is completely written into packet buffer memory, the checksums will be valid and the relevant DPRAM locations will be updated for the new checksum fields as per standard IP/TCP and UDP packet structures.

If the transmitter checksum engine is prevented from generating the relevant checksums, bits [22:20] of the transmitter DMA writeback status will be updated to identify the reason for the error. Note that the frame will still be transmitted but without the checksum substitution, as typically the reason that the substitution did not occur was that the protocol was not recognized.

36.6.7 MAC Filtering Block

The filter block determines which frames should be written to the FIFO interface and on to the DMA.

Whether a frame is passed depends on what is enabled in the Network Configuration register, the state of the external matching pins, the contents of the specific address, type and Hash registers and the frame's destination address and type field.

If bit 25 of the Network Configuration register is not set, a frame will not be copied to memory if the GMAC is transmitting in half duplex mode at the time a destination address is received.

Ethernet frames are transmitted a byte at a time, least significant bit first. The first six bytes (48 bits) of an Ethernet frame make up the destination address. The first bit of the destination address, which is the LSB of the first byte of the frame, is the group or individual bit. This is one for multicast addresses and zero for unicast. The all ones address is the broadcast address and a special case of multicast.

The GMAC supports recognition of four specific addresses. Each specific address requires two registers, Specific Address register Bottom and Specific Address register Top. Specific Address register Bottom stores the first four bytes of the destination address and Specific Address register Top contains the last two bytes. The addresses stored can be specific, group, local or universal.

The destination address of received frames is compared against the data stored in the Specific Address registers once they have been activated. The addresses are deactivated at reset or when their corresponding Specific Address register Bottom is written. They are activated when Specific Address register Top is written. If a receive frame address matches an active address, the frame is written to the FIFO interface and on to DMA memory.

Frames may be filtered using the type ID field for matching. Four type ID registers exist in the register address space and each can be enabled for matching by writing a one to the MSB (bit 31) of the respective register. When a frame is received, the matching is implemented as an OR function of the various types of match.

The contents of each type ID register (when enabled) are compared against the length/type ID of the frame being received (e.g., bytes 13 and 14 in non-VLAN and non-SNAP encapsulated frames) and copied to memory if a match is found. The encoded type ID match bits (Word 0, Bit 22 and Bit 23) in the receive buffer descriptor status are set indicating which type ID register generated the match, if the receive checksum offload is disabled.

The reset state of the type ID registers is zero, hence each is initially disabled.

The following example illustrates the use of the address and type ID match registers for a MAC address of 21:43:65:87:A9:CB:

The sequence above shows the beginning of an Ethernet frame. Byte order of transmission is from top to bottom as shown. For a successful match to specific address 1, the following address matching registers must be set up:

Specific Address 1 Bottom register (GMAC_SAB1) (Address 0x088) 0x87654321

Specific Address 1 Top register (GMAC_SAT1) (Address 0x08C) 0x0000CBA9

For a successful match to the type ID, the following Type ID Match 1 register must be set up:

Type ID Match 1 register (GMAC_TIDM1) (Address 0x0A8) 0x80004321

36.6.8 Broadcast Address

Frames with the broadcast address of 0xFFFFFFFFFFF are stored to memory only if the 'no broadcast' bit in the Network Configuration register is set to zero.

36.6.9 Hash Addressing

The hash address register is 64 bits long and takes up two locations in the memory map. The least significant bits are stored in Hash Register Bottom and the most significant bits in Hash Register Top.

The unicast hash enable and the multicast hash enable bits in the Network Configuration register enable the reception of hash matched frames. The destination address is reduced to a 6-bit index into the 64-bit Hash register using the following hash function: The hash function is an XOR of every sixth bit of the destination address.

hash_index[05] = da[05] ^ da[11] ^ da[17] ^ da[23] ^ da[29] ^ da[35] ^ da[41] ^ da[47]
hash_index[04] = da[04] ^ da[10] ^ da[16] ^ da[22] ^ da[28] ^ da[34] ^ da[40] ^ da[46]
hash_index[03] = da[03] ^ da[09] ^ da[15] ^ da[21] ^ da[27] ^ da[33] ^ da[39] ^ da[45]
hash_index[02] = da[02] ^ da[08] ^ da[14] ^ da[20] ^ da[26] ^ da[32] ^ da[38] ^ da[44]
hash_index[01] = da[01] ^ da[07] ^ da[13] ^ da[19] ^ da[25] ^ da[31] ^ da[37] ^ da[43]
hash_index[00] = da[00] ^ da[06] ^ da[12] ^ da[18] ^ da[24] ^ da[30] ^ da[36] ^ da[42] 

da[0]

represents the least significant bit of the first byte received, that is, the multicast/unicast indicator, and da[47] represents the most significant bit of the last byte received.

If the hash index points to a bit that is set in the Hash register then the frame will be matched according to whether the frame is multicast or unicast.

A multicast match will be signalled if the multicast hash enable bit is set, da [0] is logic 1 and the hash index points to a bit set in the Hash register.

A unicast match will be signalled if the unicast hash enable bit is set, da[0] is logic 0 and the hash index points to a bit set in the Hash register.

To receive all multicast frames, the Hash register should be set with all ones and the multicast hash enable bit should be set in the Network Configuration register.

36.6.10 Copy all Frames (Promiscuous Mode)

If the Copy All Frames bit is set in the Network Configuration register then all frames (except those that are too long, too short, have FCS errors or have GRXER asserted during reception) will be copied to memory. Frames with FCS errors will be copied if bit 26 is set in the Network Configuration register.

36.6.11 Disable Copy of Pause Frames

Pause frames can be prevented from being written to memory by setting the disable copying of pause frames control bit 23 in the Network Configuration register. When set, pause frames are not copied to memory regardless of the Copy All Frames bit, whether a hash match is found, a type ID match is identified or if a destination address match is found.

36.6.12 VLAN Support

The following table describes an Ethernet encoded 802.1Q VLAN tag.

Table 36-6: 802.1Q VLAN Tag

TPID (Tag Protocol Identifier) 16 bits TCI (Tag Control Information) 16 bits
0x8100 First 3 bits priority, then CFI bit, last 12 bits VID

The VLAN tag is inserted at the 13th byte of the frame adding an extra four bytes to the frame. To support these extra four bytes, the GMAC can accept frame lengths up to 1536 bytes by setting bit 8 in the Network Configuration register.

If the VID (VLAN identifier) is null (0x000) this indicates a priority-tagged frame.

The following bits in the receive buffer descriptor status word give information about VLAN tagged frames:-

  • Bit 21 set if receive frame is VLAN tagged (i.e., type ID of 0x8100).
  • Bit 20 set if receive frame is priority tagged (i.e., type ID of 0x8100 and null VID). (If bit 20 is set, bit 21 will be set also.)
  • Bit 19, 18 and 17 set to priority if bit 21 is set.
  • Bit 16 set to CFI if bit 21 is set.

The GMAC can be configured to reject all frames except VLAN tagged frames by setting the discard non-VLAN frames bit in the Network Configuration register.

36.6.13 Wake on LAN Support

The receive block supports Wake on LAN by detecting the following events on incoming receive frames:

  • Magic packet
  • Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request to the device IP address
  • Specific address 1 filter match
  • Multicast hash filter match

These events can be individually enabled through bits [19:16] of the Wake on LAN register. Also, for Wake on LAN detection to occur, receive enable must be set in the Network Control register, however a receive buffer does not have to be available.

In case of an ARP request, specific address 1 or multicast filter events will occur even if the frame is errored. For magic packet events, the frame must be correctly formed and error free.

A magic packet event is detected if all of the following are true:

  • Magic packet events are enabled through bit 16 of the Wake on LAN register
  • The frame's destination address matches specific address 1
  • The frame is correctly formed with no errors
  • The frame contains at least 6 bytes of 0xFF for synchronization
  • There are 16 repetitions of the contents of Specific Address 1 register immediately following the synchronization

An ARP request event is detected if all of the following are true:

  • ARP request events are enabled through bit 17 of the Wake on LAN register
  • Broadcasts are allowed by bit 5 in the Network Configuration register
  • The frame has a broadcast destination address (bytes 1 to 6)
  • The frame has a type ID field of 0x0806 (bytes 13 and 14)
  • The frame has an ARP operation field of 0x0001 (bytes 21 and 22)

- The least significant 16 bits of the frame's ARP target protocol address (bytes 41 and 42) match the value programmed in bits[15:0] of the Wake on LAN register

The decoding of the ARP fields adjusts automatically if a VLAN tag is detected within the frame. The reserved value of 0x0000 for the Wake on LAN target address value will not cause an ARP request event, even if matched by the frame.

A specific address 1 filter match event will occur if all of the following are true:

- Specific address 1 events are enabled through bit 18 of the Wake on LAN register

  • The frame's destination address matches the value programmed in the Specific Address 1 registers
    A multicast filter match event will occur if all of the following are true:
  • Multicast hash events are enabled through bit 19 of the Wake on LAN register
  • Multicast hash filtering is enabled through bit 6 of the Network Configuration register
  • The frame destination address matches against the multicast hash filter
  • The frame destination address is not a broadcast

36.6.14 IEEE 1588 Support

IEEE 1588 is a standard for precision time synchronization in local area networks. It works with the exchange of special Precision Time Protocol (PTP) frames. The PTP messages can be transported over IEEE 802.3/Ethernet, over Internet Protocol Version 4 or over Internet Protocol Version 6 as described in the annex of IEEE P1588.D2.1.

The GMAC indicates the message time-stamp point (asserted on the start packet delimiter and de-asserted at end of frame) for all frames and the passage of PTP event frames (asserted when a PTP event frame is detected and de-asserted at end of frame).

IEEE 802.1AS is a subset of IEEE 1588. One difference is that IEEE 802.1AS uses the Ethernet multicast address 0180C200000E for sync frame recognition whereas IEEE 1588 does not. GMAC is designed to recognize sync frames with both IEEE 802.1AS and IEEE 1588 addresses and so can support both 1588 and 802.1AS frame recognition simultaneously.

Synchronization between master and slave clocks is a two stage process.

First, the offset between the master and slave clocks is corrected by the master sending a sync frame to the slave with a follow up frame containing the exact time the sync frame was sent. Hardware assist modules at the master and slave side detect exactly when the sync frame was sent by the master and received by the slave. The slave then corrects its clock to match the master clock.

Second, the transmission delay between the master and slave is corrected. The slave sends a delay request frame to the master which sends a delay response frame in reply. Hardware assist modules at the master and slave side detect exactly when the delay request frame was sent by the slave and received by the master. The slave will now have enough information to adjust its clock to account for delay. For example, if the slave was assuming zero delay, the actual delay will be half the difference between the transmit and receive time of the delay request frame (assuming equal transmit and receive times) because the slave clock will be lagging the master clock by the delay time already.

The time-stamp is taken when the message time-stamp point passes the clock time-stamp point. This can generate an interrupt if enabled (GMAC_IER). However, MAC Filtering configuration is needed to actually 'copy' the message to memory. For Ethernet, the message timestamp point is the SFD and the clock time-stamp point is the MII interface. (The IEEE 1588 specification refers to sync and delay_req messages as event messages as these require time-stamping. These events are captured in the registers GMAC_EFTx and GMAC_EFRx, respectively. Follow up, delay response and management messages do not require time-stamping and are referred to as general messages.)

1588 version 2 defines two additional PTP event messages. These are the peer delay request (Pdelay_Req) and peer delay response (Pdelay_Resp) messages. These events are captured in the registers GMAC_PEFTx and GMAC_PEFRx, respectively. These messages are used to calculate the delay on a link. Nodes at both ends of a link send both types of frames (regardless of whether they contain a master or slave clock). The Pdelay_Resp message contains the time at which a Pdelay_Req was received and is itself an event message. The time at which a Pdelay_Resp message is received is returned in a Pdelay_Resp_Follow_Up message.

1588 version 2 introduces transparent clocks of which there are two kinds, peer-to-peer (P2P) and end-to-end (E2E). Transparent clocks measure the transit time of event messages through a bridge and amend a correction field within the message to allow for the transit time. P2P transparent clocks additionally correct for the delay in the receive path of the link using the information gathered from the peer delay frames. With P2P transparent clocks delay_req messages are not used to measure link delay. This simplifies the protocol and makes larger systems more stable.

The GMAC recognizes four different encapsulations for PTP event messages:

  1. 1588 version 1 (UDP/IPv4 multicast)
  2. 1588 version 2 (UDP/IPv4 multicast)
  3. 1588 version 2 (UDP/IPv6 multicast)
  4. 1588 version 2 (Ethernet multicast)

For 1588 version 1 messages, sync and delay request frames are indicated by the GMAC if the frame type field indicates TCP/IP, UDP protocol is indicated, the destination IP address is 224.0.1.129/130/131 or 132, the destination UDP port is 319 and the control field is correct.

The control field is 0x00 for sync frames and 0x01 for delay request frames.

For 1588 version 2 messages, the type of frame is determined by looking at the message type field in the first byte of the PTP frame. Whether a frame is version 1 or version 2 can be determined by looking at the version PTP field in the second byte of both version 1 and version 2 PTP frames.

In version 2 messages sync frames have a message type value of 0x0, delay_req have 0x1, Pdelay_Req have 0x2 and Pdelay_Resp have 0x3.

36.6.15 Timestamp Unit

The TSU consists of a timer and registers to capture the time at which PTP event frames cross the message timestamp point. An interrupt is issued when a capture register is updated.

The timer is implemented as a 94-bit register with the upper 48 bits counting seconds, the next 30 bits counting nanoseconds and the lowest 16 bits counting sub-nanoseconds. The lower 46 bits rolls over when they have counted to one second. An interrupt is generated when the seconds increment. The timer value can be read, written and adjusted through the APB interface. The timer is clocked by MCK.

The amount by which the timer increments each clock cycle is controlled by the timer increment registers (GMAC_TI). Bits 7:0 are the default increment value in nanoseconds and an additional 16 bits of sub-nanosecond resolution are available using the Timer Increment Sub-nanoseconds register (GMAC_TISUBN). If the rest of the register is written with zero, the timer increments by the value in [7:0], plus the value of GMAC_TISUBN, each clock cycle.

The GMAC_TISUBN register allows a resolution of approximately 15 femtoseconds.

Bits 15:8 of the increment register are the alternative increment value in nanoseconds and bits 23:16 are the number of increments after which the alternative increment value is used. If 23:16 are zero then the alternative increment value will never be used.

Taking the example of 10.2 MHz, there are 102 cycles every ten microseconds or 51 every five microseconds. So a timer with a 10.2 MHz clock source is constructed by incrementing by 98 ns for fifty cycles and then incrementing by 100 ns ( 98 × 50 + 100 = 5000 ). This is programmed by setting the 1588 Timer Increment register to 0x00326462.

For a 49.8 MHz clock source it would be 20 ns for 248 cycles followed by an increment of 40 ns (20 × 248 + 40 = 5000) programmed as 0x00F82814.

Having eight bits for the “number of increments” field allows frequencies up to 50 MHz to be supported with 200 kHz resolution.

Without the alternative increment field the period of the clock would be limited to an integer number of nanoseconds, resulting in supported clock frequencies of 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 125, 200 and 250 MHz.

There are eight additional 80-bit registers that capture the time at which PTP event frames are transmitted and received. An interrupt is issued when these registers are updated. The TSU timer count value can be compared to a programmable comparison value. For the comparison, the 48 bits of the seconds value and the upper 22 bits of the nanoseconds value are used. An interrupt can also be generated (if enabled) when the TSU timer count value and comparison value are equal, mapped to bit 29 of the interrupt status register.

36.6.16 MAC 802.3 Pause Frame Support

Note: See Clause 31, and Annex 31A and 31B of the IEEE standard 802.3 for a full description of MAC 802.3 pause operation.

The following table shows the start of a MAC 802.3 pause frame.

Table 36-15: Start of an 802.3 Pause Frame

AddressType(MAC Control Frame)Pause
Destination SourceOpcode Time
0x0180C2000001 6 bytes0x8808 0x00012 bytes

The GMAC supports both hardware controlled pause of the transmitter, upon reception of a pause frame, and hardware generated pause frame transmission.

36.6.16.1 802.3 Pause Frame Reception

Bit 13 of the Network Configuration register is the pause enable control for reception. If this bit is set, transmission will pause if a non zero pause quantum frame is received.

If a valid pause frame is received then the Pause Time register is updated with the new frame's pause time, regardless of whether a previous pause frame is active or not. An interrupt (either bit 12 or bit 13 of the Interrupt Status register) is triggered when a pause frame is received, but only if the interrupt has been enabled (bit 12 and bit 13 of the Interrupt Mask register). Pause frames received with non zero quantum are indicated through the interrupt bit 12 of the Interrupt Status register. Pause frames received with zero quantum are indicated on bit 13 of the Interrupt Status register.

Once the Pause Time register is loaded and the frame currently being transmitted has been sent, no new frames are transmitted until the pause time reaches zero. The loading of a new pause time, and hence the pausing of transmission, only occurs when the GMAC is configured for full duplex operation. If the GMAC is configured for half duplex there will be no transmission pause, but the pause frame received interrupt will still be triggered. A valid pause frame is defined as having a destination address that matches either the address stored in Specific Address register 1 or if it matches the reserved address of 0x0180C2000001. It must also have the MAC control frame type ID of 0x8808 and have the pause opcode of 0x0001.

Pause frames that have frame check sequence (FCS) or other errors will be treated as invalid and will be discarded. 802.3 Pause frames that are received after Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) has been negotiated will also be discarded. Valid pause frames received will increment the pause frames received statistic register.

The pause time register decrements every 512 bit times once transmission has stopped. For test purposes, the retry test bit can be set (bit 12 in the Network Configuration register) which causes the Pause Time register to decrement every GTXCK cycle once transmission has stopped.

The interrupt (bit 13 in the Interrupt Status register) is asserted whenever the Pause Time register decrements to zero (assuming it has been enabled by bit 13 in the Interrupt Mask register). This interrupt is also set when a zero quantum pause frame is received.

36.6.16.2 802.3 Pause Frame Transmission

Automatic transmission of pause frames is supported through the transmit pause frame bits of the Network Control register. If either bit 11 or bit 12 of the Network Control register is written with logic 1, an 802.3 pause frame will be transmitted, providing full duplex is selected in the Network Configuration register and the transmit block is enabled in the Network Control register.

Pause frame transmission will happen immediately if transmit is inactive or if transmit is active between the current frame and the next frame due to be transmitted.

Transmitted pause frames comprise the following:

• A destination address of 01-80-C2-00-00-01
- A source address taken from Specific Address register 1
• A type ID of 88-08 (MAC control frame)
• A pause opcode of 00-01
• A pause quantum register
- Fill of 00 to take the frame to minimum frame length

- Valid FCS

The pause quantum used in the generated frame will depend on the trigger source for the frame as follows:

  • If bit 11 is written with a one, the pause quantum will be taken from the Transmit Pause Quantum register. The Transmit Pause Quantum register resets to a value of 0xFFFF giving maximum pause quantum as default.
  • If bit 12 is written with a one, the pause quantum will be zero.

After transmission, a pause frame transmitted interrupt will be generated (bit 14 of the Interrupt Status register) and the only statistics register that will be incremented will be the Pause Frames Transmitted register.

Pause frames can also be transmitted by the MAC using normal frame transmission methods.

36.6.17 MAC PFC Priority-based Pause Frame Support

Note: Refer to the 802.1Qbb standard for a full description of priority-based pause operation.

The following table shows the start of a Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) pause frame.

Table 36-16: Start of a PFC Pause Frame

AddressType (Mac Control Frame)Pause Opcode Priority Enable Vector Pause Time Destination Source
0x0180C20000016 bytes0x88080x10012 bytes8 × 2 bytes

The GMAC supports PFC priority-based pause transmission and reception. Before PFC pause frames can be received, bit 16 of the Network Control register must be set.

36.6.17.1 PFC Pause Frame Reception

The ability to receive and decode priority-based pause frames is enabled by setting bit 16 of the Network Control register. When this bit is set, the GMAC will match either classic 802.3 pause frames or PFC priority-based pause frames. Once a priority-based pause frame has been received and matched, then from that moment on the GMAC will only match on priority-based pause frames (this is an 802.1Qbb requirement, known as PFC negotiation). Once priority-based pause has been negotiated, any received 802.3x format pause frames will not be acted upon.

If a valid priority-based pause frame is received then the GMAC will decode the frame and determine which, if any, of the eight priorities require to be paused. Up to eight Pause Time registers are then updated with the eight pause times extracted from the frame regardless of whether a previous pause operation is active or not. An interrupt (either bit 12 or bit 13 of the Interrupt Status register) is triggered when a pause frame is received, but only if the interrupt has been enabled (bit 12 and bit 13 of the Interrupt Mask register). Pause frames received with non zero quantum are indicated through the interrupt bit 12 of the Interrupt Status register. Pause frames received with zero quantum are indicated on bit 13 of the Interrupt Status register. The loading of a new pause time only occurs when the GMAC is configured for full duplex operation. If the GMAC is configured for half duplex, the pause time counters will not be loaded, but the pause frame received interrupt will still be triggered. A valid pause frame is defined as having a destination address that matches either the address stored in Specific Address register 1 or if it matches the reserved address of 0x0180C2000001. It must also have the MAC control frame type ID of 0x8808 and have the pause opcode of 0x0101.

Pause frames that have frame check sequence (FCS) or other errors will be treated as invalid and will be discarded. Valid pause frames received will increment the Pause Frames Received Statistic register.

The Pause Time registers decrement every 512 bit times immediately following the PFC frame reception. For test purposes, the retry test bit can be set (bit 12 in the Network Configuration register) which causes the Pause Time register to decrement every GRXCK cycle once transmission has stopped.

The interrupt (bit 13 in the Interrupt Status register) is asserted whenever the Pause Time register decrements to zero (assuming it has been enabled by bit 13 in the Interrupt Mask register). This interrupt is also set when a zero quantum pause frame is received.

36.6.17.2 PFC Pause Frame Transmission

Automatic transmission of pause frames is supported through the transmit priority-based pause frame bit of the Network Control register. If bit 17 of the Network Control register is written with logic 1, a PFC pause frame will be transmitted providing full duplex is selected in the Network Configuration register and the transmit block is enabled in the Network Control register. When bit 17 of the Network Control register is set, the fields of the priority-based pause frame will be built using the values stored in the Transmit PFC Pause register.

Pause frame transmission will happen immediately if transmit is inactive or if transmit is active between the current frame and the next frame due to be transmitted.

Transmitted pause frames comprise the following:

• A destination address of 01-80-C2-00-00-01
- A source address taken from Specific Address register 1
• A type ID of 88-08 (MAC control frame)
• A pause opcode of 01-01
- A priority enable vector taken from Transmit PFC Pause register
• 8 pause quantum registers
- Fill of 00 to take the frame to minimum frame length
- Valid FCS

The pause quantum registers used in the generated frame will depend on the trigger source for the frame as follows:

  • If bit 17 of the Network Control register is written with a one, then the priority enable vector of the priority-based pause frame will be set equal to the value stored in the Transmit PFC Pause register [7:0]. For each entry equal to zero in the Transmit PFC Pause register [15:8], the pause quantum field of the pause frame associated with that entry will be taken from the transmit pause quantum register. For each entry equal to one in the Transmit PFC Pause register [15:8], the pause quantum associated with that entry will be zero.
  • The Transmit Pause Quantum register resets to a value of 0xFFFF giving maximum pause quantum as default.

After transmission, a pause frame transmitted interrupt will be generated (bit 14 of the Interrupt Status register) and the only statistics register that will be incremented will be the Pause Frames Transmitted register.

PFC Pause frames can also be transmitted by the MAC using normal frame transmission methods.

36.6.18 PHY Interface

Different PHY interfaces are supported by the Gigabit Ethernet MAC:

• GMII

• MII

• RGMIIv1.3

The GMII and RGMII should only be used for 1000 Mbps operation. The MII interface is provided for 10/100 operation and uses txd[3:0] and rxd[3:0].

36.6.19 10/100/1000 Operation

The gigabit select bit in the Network Configuration register selects between 10/100 Mbps Ethernet operation and 1000 Mbps mode. The 10/100 Mbps speed bit in the Network Configuration register is used to select between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps.

36.6.20 Jumbo Frames

The jumbo frames enable bit in the Network Configuration register allows the GMAC, in its default configuration, to receive jumbo frames up to 10240 bytes in size. This operation does not form part of the IEEE 802.3 specification and is normally disabled. When jumbo frames are enabled, frames received with a frame size greater than 10240 bytes are discarded.

36.7 Programming Interface

36.7.1 Initialization

36.7.1.1 Configuration

Initialization of the GMAC configuration (e.g., Loopback mode, frequency ratios) must be done while the transmit and receive circuits are disabled. See Section 36.9.1 GMAC Network Control Register and Section 36.9.2 GMAC Network Configuration Register.

To change Loopback mode, the following sequence of operations must be followed:

  1. Write to Network Control register to disable transmit and receive circuits.
  2. Write to Network Control register to change Loopback mode.
  3. Write to Network Control register to re-enable transmit or receive circuits.

Note: These writes to the Network Control register cannot be combined in any way.

36.7.1.2 Receive Buffer List

Receive data is written to areas of data (i.e., buffers) in system memory. These buffers are listed in another data structure that also resides in main memory. This data structure (receive buffer queue) is a sequence of descriptor entries as defined in Table 36-4 Receive Buffer Descriptor Entry.

The Receive Buffer Queue Pointer register points to this data structure.

    B --> C["Receive Buffer N (In memory)"]
    B --> D["Receive Buffer 0"]
    B --> E["Receive Buffer 1"]

To create the list of buffers:

  1. Allocate a number (N) of buffers of X bytes in system memory, where X is the DMA buffer length programmed in the DMA Configuration register.
  2. Allocate an area 8N bytes for the receive buffer descriptor list in system memory and create N entries in this list. Mark all entries in this list as owned by GMAC, i.e., bit 0 of word 0 set to 0.
  3. Mark the last descriptor in the queue with the wrap bit (bit 1 in word 0 set to 1).
  4. Write address of receive buffer descriptor list and control information to GMAC register receive buffer queue pointer
  5. The receive circuits can then be enabled by writing to the address recognition registers and the Network Control register.

36.7.1.3 Transmit Buffer List

Transmit data is read from areas of data (the buffers) in system memory. These buffers are listed in another data structure that also resides in main memory. This data structure (Transmit Buffer Queue) is a sequence of descriptor entries as defined in Table 36-5 Transmit Buffer Descriptor Entry.

The Transmit Buffer Queue Pointer register points to this data structure.

To create this list of buffers:

  1. Allocate a number (N) of buffers of between 1 and 2047 bytes of data to be transmitted in system memory. Up to 128 buffers per frame are allowed.
  2. Allocate an area 8N bytes for the transmit buffer descriptor list in system memory and create N entries in this list. Mark all entries in this list as owned by GMAC, i.e., bit 31 of word 1 set to 0.
  3. Mark the last descriptor in the queue with the wrap bit (bit 30 in word 1 set to 1).
  4. Write address of transmit buffer descriptor list and control information to GMAC register transmit buffer queue pointer.
  5. The transmit circuits can then be enabled by writing to the Network Control register.

36.7.1.4 Address Matching

The GMAC register pair hash address and the four Specific Address register pairs must be written with the required values. Each register pair comprises of a bottom register and top register, with the bottom register being written first. The address matching is disabled for a particular register pair after the bottom register has been written and re-enabled when the top register is written. Each register pair may be written at any time, regardless of whether the receive circuits are enabled or disabled.

As an example, to set Specific Address register 1 to recognize destination address 21:43:65:87:A9:CB, the following values are written to Specific Address register 1 bottom and Specific Address register 1 top:

  • Specific Address register 1 bottom bits 31:0 (0x98): 0x8765_4321.
  • Specific Address register 1 top bits 31:0 (0x9C): 0x0000_CBA9.

36.7.1.5 PHY Maintenance

The PHY Maintenance register is implemented as a shift register. Writing to the register starts a shift operation which is signalled as complete when bit two is set in the Network Status register (about 2000 MCK cycles later when bits 18:16 are set to 010 in the Network Configuration register). An interrupt is generated as this bit is set.

During this time, the MSB of the register is output on the MDIO pin and the LSB updated from the MDIO pin with each Management Data Clock (MDC) cycle. This causes the transmission of a PHY management frame on MDIO. See section 22.2.4.5 of the IEEE 802.3 standard.

Reading during the shift operation will return the current contents of the shift register. At the end of the management operation the bits will have shifted back to their original locations. For a read operation the data bits are updated with data read from the PHY. It is important to write the correct values to the register to ensure a valid PHY management frame is produced.

The Management Data Clock (MDC) should not toggle faster than 2.5 MHz (minimum period of 400 ns), as defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard. MDC is generated by dividing down MCK. Three bits in the Network Configuration register determine by how much MCK should be divided to produce MDC.

36.7.1.6 Interrupts

There are 18 interrupt conditions that are detected within the GMAC. The conditions are ORed to make a single interrupt. Depending on the overall system design this may be passed through a further level of interrupt collection (interrupt controller). On receipt of the interrupt signal, the CPU enters the interrupt handler. Refer to the device interrupt controller documentation to identify that it is the GMAC that is generating the interrupt. To ascertain which interrupt, read the Interrupt Status register. Note that in the default configuration this register will clear itself after being read, though this may be configured to be write-one-to-clear if desired.

At reset all interrupts are disabled. To enable an interrupt, write to Interrupt Enable register with the pertinent interrupt bit set to 1. To disable an interrupt, write to Interrupt Disable register with the pertinent interrupt bit set to 1. To check whether an interrupt is enabled or disabled, read Interrupt Mask register. If the bit is set to 1, the interrupt is disabled.

36.7.1.7 Transmitting Frames

The procedure to set up a frame for transmission is the following:

  1. Enable transmit in the Network Control register.
  2. Allocate an area of system memory for transmit data. This does not have to be contiguous, varying byte lengths can be used if they conclude on byte borders.
  3. Set-up the transmit buffer list by writing buffer addresses to word zero of the transmit buffer descriptor entries and control and length to word one.
  4. Write data for transmission into the buffers pointed to by the descriptors.
  5. Write the address of the first buffer descriptor to transmit buffer descriptor queue pointer.
  6. Enable appropriate interrupts.
  7. Write to the transmit start bit (TSTART) in the Network Control register.

36.7.1.8 Receiving Frames

When a frame is received and the receive circuits are enabled, the GMAC checks the address and, in the following cases, the frame is written to system memory:

  • If it matches one of the four Specific Address registers.
  • If it matches one of the four type ID registers.
  • If it matches the hash address function.
  • If it is a broadcast address (0xFFFFFFFFFFF) and broadcasts are allowed.
  • If the GMAC is configured to "copy all frames".

The register receive buffer queue pointer points to the next entry in the receive buffer descriptor list and the GMAC uses this as the address in system memory to write the frame to.

Once the frame has been completely and successfully received and written to system memory, the GMAC then updates the receive buffer descriptor entry (see Table 36-4 Receive Buffer Descriptor Entry) with the reason for the address match and marks the area as being owned by software. Once this is complete, a receive complete interrupt is set. Software is then responsible for copying the data to the application area and releasing the buffer (by writing the ownership bit back to 0).

If the GMAC is unable to write the data at a rate to match the incoming frame, then a receive overrun interrupt is set. If there is no receive buffer available, i.e., the next buffer is still owned by software, a receive buffer not available interrupt is set. If the frame is not successfully received, a statistics register is incremented and the frame is discarded without informing software.

36.8 Statistics Registers

Statistics registers are described in the User Interface beginning with Section 36.9.47 GMAC Octets Transmitted Low Register and ending with Section 36.9.91 GMAC UDP Checksum Errors Register.

The statistics register block begins at 0x100 and runs to 0x1B0, and comprises the registers listed below.

Octets Received High Register UDP Checksum Errors Register

Frames Received Register

These registers reset to zero on a read and stick at all ones when they count to their maximum value. They should be read frequently enough to prevent loss of data.

The receive statistics registers are only incremented when the receive enable bit (RXEN) is set in the Network Control register.

Once a statistics register has been read, it is automatically cleared. When reading the Octets Transmitted and Octets Received registers, bits 31:0 should be read prior to bits 47:32 to ensure reliable operation.

LBL: Loopback Local

Connects GTX to GRX, GTXEN to GRXDV and forces full duplex mode. GRXCK and GTXCK may malfunction as the GMAC is switched into and out of internal loopback. It is important that receive and transmit circuits have already been disabled when making the switch into and out of internal loopback.

RXEN: Receive Enable

When set, RXEN enables the GMAC to receive data. When reset frame reception stops immediately and the receive pipeline will be cleared. The Receive Queue Pointer Register is unaffected.

TXEN: Transmit Enable

When set, TXEN enables the GMAC transmitter to send data. When reset transmission will stop immediately, the transmit pipeline and control registers will be cleared and the Transmit Queue Pointer Register will reset to point to the start of the transmit descriptor list.

MPE: Management Port Enable

Set to one to enable the management port. When zero, forces MDIO to high impedance state and MDC low.

CLRSTAT: Clear Statistics Registers

This bit is write-only. Writing a one clears the statistics registers.

INCSTAT: Increment Statistics Registers

This bit is write-only. Writing a one increments all the statistics registers by one for test purposes.

WESTAT: Write Enable for Statistics Registers

Setting this bit to one makes the statistics registers writable for functional test purposes.

BP: Back pressure

If set in 10M or 100M half duplex mode, forces collisions on all received frames. Ignored in gigabit half duplex mode.

TSTART: Start Transmission

Writing one to this bit starts transmission.

THALT: Transmit Halt

Writing one to this bit halts transmission as soon as any ongoing frame transmission ends.

TXPF: Transmit Pause Frame

Writing one to this bit causes a pause frame to be transmitted.

TXZQPF: Transmit Zero Quantum Pause Frame

Writing one to this bit causes a pause frame with zero quantum to be transmitted.

SRTSM: Store Receive Timestamp to Memory

0: Normal operation.

1: Causes the CRC of every received frame to be replaced with the value of the nanoseconds field of the 1588 timer that was captured as the receive frame passed the message timestamp point.

ENPBPR: Enable PFC Priority-based Pause Reception

Enables PFC Priority Based Pause Reception capabilities. Setting this bit enables PFC negotiation and recognition of priority-based pause frames.

TXPBPF: Transmit PFC Priority-based Pause Frame

Takes the values stored in the Transmit PFC Pause Register.

FNP: Flush Next Packet

Flush the next packet from the external RX DPRAM. Writing one to this bit will only have an effect if the DMA is not currently writing a packet already stored in the DPRAM to memory.

SPD: Speed

Set to logic one to indicate 100 Mbps operation, logic zero for 10 Mbps.

FD: Full Duplex

If set to logic one, the transmit block ignores the state of collision and carrier sense and allows receive while transmitting.

DNVLAN: Discard Non-VLAN FRAMES

When set only VLAN tagged frames will be passed to the address matching logic.

JFRAME: Jumbo Frame Size

Set to one to enable jumbo frames up to 10240 bytes to be accepted. The default length is 10240 bytes.

CAF: Copy All Frames

When set to logic one, all valid frames will be accepted.

NBC: No Broadcast

When set to logic one, frames addressed to the broadcast address of all ones will not be accepted.

MTIHEN: Multicast Hash Enable

When set, multicast frames will be accepted when the 6-bit hash function of the destination address points to a bit that is set in the Hash Register.

UNIHEN: Unicast Hash Enable

When set, unicast frames will be accepted when the 6-bit hash function of the destination address points to a bit that is set in the Hash Register.

MAXFS: 1536 Maximum Frame Size

Setting this bit means the GMAC will accept frames up to 1536 bytes in length. Normally the GMAC would reject any frame above 1518 bytes.

GBE: Gigabit Mode Enable

Setting this bit configures the GMAC for 1000 Mbps operation.

0: 10/100 operation using MII interface.

1: Gigabit operation using GMII interface.

RTY: Retry Test

Must be set to zero for normal operation. If set to one the backoff between collisions will always be one slot time. Setting this bit to one helps test the too many retries condition. Also used in the pause frame tests to reduce the pause counter's decrement time from 512 bit times, to every GRXCK cycle.

PEN: Pause Enable

When set, transmission will pause if a non-zero 802.3 classic pause frame is received and PFC has not been negotiated.

RXBUFO: Receive Buffer Offset

Indicates the number of bytes by which the received data is offset from the start of the receive buffer

LFERD: Length Field Error Frame Discard

Setting this bit causes frames with a measured length shorter than the extracted length field (as indicated by bytes 13 and 14 in a non-VLAN tagged frame) to be discarded. This only applies to frames with a length field less than 0x0600.

RFCS: Remove FCS

Setting this bit will cause received frames to be written to memory without their frame check sequence (last 4 bytes). The frame length indicated will be reduced by four bytes in this mode.

CLK: MDC CLock Division

Set according to MCK speed. These three bits determine the number MCK will be divided by to generate Management Data Clock (MDC). For conformance with the 802.3 specification, MDC must not exceed 2.5 MHz (MDC is only active during MDIO read and write operations).

Value NameDescription
0 MCK_8MCK divided by 8 (MCK up to 20 MHz)
1 MCK_16MCK divided by 16 (MCK up to 40 MHz)
2 MCK_32MCK divided by 32 (MCK up to 80 MHz)
3 MCK_48MCK divided by 48 (MCK up to 120 MHz)
4 MCK_64MCK divided by 64 (MCK up to 160 MHz)
5 MCK_96MCK divided by 96 (MCK up to 240 MHz)

DBW: Data Bus Width

The default value for this register is 64 bits.

Value NameDescription
0 DBW3232-bit data bus width
1 DBW6464-bit data bus width

DCPF: Disable Copy of Pause Frames

Set to one to prevent valid pause frames being copied to memory. When set, pause frames are not copied to memory regardless of the state of the Copy All Frames bit, whether a hash match is found or whether a type ID match is identified. If a destination address match is found, the pause frame will be copied to memory. Note that valid pause frames received will still increment pause statistics and pause the transmission of frames as required.

RXCOEN: Receive Checksum Offload Enable

When set, the receive checksum engine is enabled. Frames with bad IP, TCP or UDP checksums are discarded.

EFRHD: Enable Frames Received in Half Duplex

Enable frames to be received in half-duplex mode while transmitting.

IRXFCS: Ignore RX FCS

When set, frames with FCS/CRC errors will not be rejected. FCS error statistics will still be collected for frames with bad FCS and FCS status will be recorded in frame's DMA descriptor. For normal operation this bit must be set to zero.

IPGSEN: IP Stretch Enable

When set, the transmit IPG can be increased above 96 bit times depending on the previous frame length using the IPG Stretch Register.

RXBP: Receive Bad Preamble

When set, frames with non-standard preamble are not rejected.

IRXER: Ignore IPG GRXER

When set, GRXER has no effect on the GMAC's operation when GRXDV is low. Set this bit when using the RGMII wrapper in half-duplex mode.

16INCR161xxxx: Attempt to use INCR16 AHB bursts

ESMA: Endian Swap Mode Enable for Management Descriptor Accesses

When set, selects swapped endianism for AHB transfers. When clear, selects little endian mode.

ESPA: Endian Swap Mode Enable for Packet Data Accesses

When set, selects swapped endianism for AHB transfers. When clear, selects little endian mode.

RXBMS: Receiver Packet Buffer Memory Size Select

The default receive packet buffer size is 4 Kbytes. The table below shows how to configure this memory to FULL, HALF, QUARTER or EIGHTH of the default size.

ValueNameDescription
0EIGHTH4/8 Kbyte Memory Size
1QUARTER4/4 Kbytes Memory Size
2HALF4/2 Kbytes Memory Size
3FULL4 Kbytes Memory Size

TXPBMS: Transmitter Packet Buffer Memory Size Select

Having this bit at zero halves the amount of memory used for the transmit packet buffer. This reduces the amount of memory used by the GMAC. It is important to set this bit to one if the full configured physical memory is available. The value in brackets below represents the size that would result for the default maximum configured memory size of 4 Kbytes.

0: Do not use top address bit (2 Kbytes).

1: Use full configured addressable space (4 Kbytes).

TXCOEN: Transmitter Checksum Generation Offload Enable

Transmitter IP, TCP and UDP checksum generation offload enable. When set, the transmitter checksum generation engine is enabled to calculate and substitute checksums for transmit frames. When clear, frame data is unaffected.

DRBS: DMA Receive Buffer Size

DMA receive buffer size in AHB system memory. The value defined by these bits determines the size of buffer to use in main AHB system memory when writing received data.

The value is defined in multiples of 64 bytes, thus a value of 0x01 corresponds to buffers of 64 bytes, 0x02 corresponds to 128 bytes etc.

For example:

  • 0x02: 128 bytes
  • 0x18: 1536 bytes (1 × max length frame/buffer)
  • 0xA0: 10240 bytes (1 × 10K jumbo frame/buffer)

Note that this value should never be written as zero.

DDRP: DMA Discard Receive Packets

When set, the GMAC DMA will automatically discard receive packets from the receiver packet buffer memory when no AHB resource is available.

When low, the received packets will remain to be stored in the SRAM based packet buffer until AHB buffer resource next becomes available.

A write to this bit is ignored if the DMA is not configured in the packet buffer full store and forward mode.

COL: Collision Occurred

Set by the assertion of collision. Writing a one clears this bit. When operating in 10/100 mode, this status indicates either a collision or a late collision. In gigabit mode, this status is not set for a late collision.

RLE: Retry Limit Exceeded

Writing a one clears this bit.

TXGO: Transmit Go

Transmit go, if high transmit is active. When using the DMA interface this bit represents the TXGO variable as specified in the transmit buffer description.

TFC: Transmit Frame Corruption Due to AHB Error

Transmit frame corruption due to AHB error. Set if an error occurs while midway through reading transmit frame from the AHB, including HRESP errors and buffers exhausted mid frame (if the buffers run out during transmission of a frame then transmission stops, FCS shall be bad and GTXER asserted).

Also set in DMA packet buffer mode if single frame is too large for configured packet buffer memory size.

Writing a one clears this bit.

TXCOMP: Transmit Complete

Set when a frame has been transmitted. Writing a one clears this bit.

LCO: Late Collision Occurred

Only set if the condition occurs in gigabit mode, as retry is not attempted. Writing a one clears this bit.

This register holds the start address of the receive buffer queue (receive buffers descriptor list). The receive buffer queue base address must be initialized before receive is enabled through bit 2 of the Network Control Register. Once reception is enabled, any write to the Receive Buffer Queue Base Address Register is ignored. Reading this register returns the location of the descriptor currently being accessed. This value increments as buffers are used. Software should not use this register for determining where to remove received frames from the queue as it constantly changes as new frames are received. Software should instead work its way through the buffer descriptor queue checking the "used" bits.

In terms of AMBA AHB operation, the descriptors are read from memory using a single 32-bit AHB access. When the datapath is configured at 64 bits, the descriptors should be aligned at 64-bit boundaries and each pair of 32-bit descriptors is written to by using a single AHB access. The descriptors should be aligned at 32-bit boundaries and the descriptors are written to using two individual non-sequential accesses for 32-bit datapaths.

This register holds the start address of the transmit buffer queue (transmit buffers descriptor list). The Transmit Buffer Queue Base Address Register must be initialized before transmit is started through bit 9 of the Network Control Register. Once transmission has started, any write to the Transmit Buffer Queue Base Address Register is illegal and therefore ignored.

Note that due to clock boundary synchronization, it takes a maximum of four MCK cycles from the writing of the transmit start bit before the transmitter is active. Writing to the Transmit Buffer Queue Base Address Register during this time may produce unpredictable results.

Reading this register returns the location of the descriptor currently being accessed. Since the DMA handles two frames at once, this may not necessarily be pointing to the current frame being transmitted.

In terms of AMBA AHB operation, the descriptors are written to memory using a single 32-bit AHB access. When the datapath is configured at 64 bits, the descriptors should be aligned at 64-bit boundaries and each pair of 32-bit descriptors is read from memory using a single AHB access. The descriptors should be aligned at 32-bit boundaries and the descriptors are read from memory using two individual non-sequential accesses for 32-bit datapaths.

BNA: Buffer Not Available

An attempt was made to get a new buffer and the pointer indicated that it was owned by the processor. The DMA will re-read the pointer each time an end of frame is received until a valid pointer is found. This bit is set following each descriptor read attempt that fails, even if consecutive pointers are unsuccessful and software has in the mean time cleared the status flag. Writing a one clears this bit.

REC: Frame Received

One or more frames have been received and placed in memory. Writing a one clears this bit.

RXOVR: Receive Overrun

This bit is set if the receive status was not taken at the end of the frame. This bit is also set if the packet buffer overflows. The buffer will be recovered if an overrun occurs. Writing a one clears this bit.

The Interrupt Mask Register is a read-only register indicating which interrupts are masked. All bits are set at reset and can be reset individually by writing to the Interrupt Enable Register or set individually by writing to the Interrupt Disable Register. Having separate address locations for enable and disable saves the need for performing a read modify write when updating the Interrupt Mask Register.

For test purposes there is a write-only function to this register that allows the bits in the Interrupt Status Register to be set or cleared, regardless of the state of the mask register. A write to this register directly affects the state of the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Status Register, causing an interrupt to be generated if a 1 is written.

The following values are valid for all listed bit names of this register when read:

0: The corresponding interrupt is enabled.

DATA

The PHY Maintenance Register is implemented as a shift register. Writing to the register starts a shift operation which is signalled as complete when bit 2 is set in the Network Status Register. It takes about 2000 MCK cycles to complete, when MDC is set for MCK divide by 32 in the Network Configuration Register. An interrupt is generated upon completion.

During this time, the MSB of the register is output on the MDIO pin and the LSB updated from the MDIO pin with each MDC cycle. This causes transmission of a PHY management frame on MDIO. See Section 22.2.4.5 of the IEEE 802.3 standard.

Reading during the shift operation returns the current contents of the shift register. At the end of management operation, the bits will have shifted back to their original locations. For a read operation, the data bits are updated with data read from the PHY. It is important to write the correct values to the register to ensure a valid PHY management frame is produced.

The MDIO interface can read IEEE 802.3 clause 45 PHYs as well as clause 22 PHYs. To read clause 45 PHYs, bit 30 should be written with a 0 rather than a 1. To write clause 45 PHYs, bits 31:28 should be written as 0x0001. See Table 36-18.
