EP201 PowerPC Bus Master
DESCRIPTIONS
The PowerPC bus master is a bus interface unit designed for the PowerPC host
bus. It allows the user to initiate data transfer directly on the PowerPC CPU bus
through a very simple user interface.
The PowerPC bus master arbitrates for the PowerPC address bus before starting
any transfers. It handles separate address and data bus tenure so that data bus is
arbitrated independently from the address bus. The bus master handles address
retry by the CPU or other sources on the CPU bus. Upon address retry, it automatically re-starts the data transfer unless an error has occurred.
Single beat, burst data and extended MPC8260 data transfer are supported. Different data size and transfer types are allowed and can be specified through an internal back-end bus. There are two user interface ports provided by the bus master. It
allows two different devices to access the PowerPC bus through a single bus master. The bus master contains arbitration logic to arbitrate between the two request
ports.
