1. Description
The SpaceWire Remote Terminal Controller (RTC) device is a bridge between the
SpaceWire network and the CAN bus, providing a fully integrated system. Additional
features are provided to carter for autonomy of remote terminals and to relieve the central processing chain of repetitive standard acquisitions and management duties. The
SpaceWire-RTC device can be used both in non-intelligent nodes and in nodes with
local intelligence.
The SpaceWire-RTC device includes an embedded microprocessor, a CAN bus controller, ADC/DAC interfaces for analogue acquisition/conversion, standard interfaces and
resources (UARTs, timers, general purpose input output).
The SpaceWire-RTC device can be operated stand-alone or with a number of external
devices such as SRAM, PROM and FIFO memories, ADC and DAC converters. The
device can be managed locally by the on-chip processor, or remotely via its SpaceWire
link interfaces. SpaceWire-RTC device can operate as a single-chip system, with software being uploaded to its on-chip memory via the SpaceWire link interface, forming a
compact solution for remotely controlled applications. Or it can operate in a full-size system, with software being decompressed from local PROM and executed from multiple
fast and wide SRAM memory banks. The device provides scalability in terms of use of
external devices and operating frequency.

4. Functions and Interfaces
The AT7913E SpaceWire Remote Terminal Controller (RTC) is a bridge between the
SpaceWire network and the CAN bus. The AT7913E is based on a LEON2-FT SPARC
v8 processor core together with a wide range of interfaces including :
• Debug Support Unit
• LEON2-FT Peripherals
– Interrupt Controller
– 32-bit Timer
– UART Serial Links
– 16-bit General Purpose Input Output
– Memory Interface
• On-Chip Memory
• FIFO Interface
• ADC/DAC Interface.
• 32-bit Timers
• 24-bit General Purpose Input Output
• CAN Interface
• SpaceWire Link Interface
• JTAG Interface
4.1
LEON2-FT processor
The SpaceWire-RTC ASIC includes the LEON2-FT Integer Unit (IU) and the MEIKO
Floating Point Unit (FPU). The LEON2-FT IU implements the SPARC integer instruction
set as defined in the SPARC Architecture Manual Version 8.
The LEON2-FT IU has the following features:
• 5-stage instruction pipeline
• Separate instruction and data cache interface
• Support for 8 register windows
• Multiplier 16x16
• Radix-2 divider (non-restoring)
To allow for software compatibility with existing devices such as the AT697E from Atmel,
the AT7913E SpaceWire-RTC includes all standard LEON2-FT peripherals and the
debug support unit.
The programming model of the SpaceWire-RTC device is thus compatible with the
existing devices, only requiring support for the additional functions and interfaces to be
added to the existing software development tools and operating systems.
The SpaceWire-RTC includes a LEON2-FT core with 4kbyte Instruction and Data
caches. It also includes a MEIKO FPU (the same one as included in the Atmel
AT697device).

AT7913E Advanced Information
4.2
Debug Support Unit
The AT7913E SpaceWire RTC includes a hardware debug support to aid software
debugging on target hardware. The support is provided through two modules:
• a debug support unit (DSU)
• a debug communication link
4.2.1
Debug Support Unit
The DSU can put the processor in debug mode, allowing read/write access to all processor registers and cache memories. The DSU also contains a trace buffer which
stores executed instructions and/or data transfers on the AMBA AHB bus.
The debug support unit is used to control the trace buffer and the processor debug
mode. The DSU is attached to the AHB bus as slave, occupying a 2 Mbyte address
space. Through this address space, any AHB master can access the processor registers and the contents of the trace buffer.
The DSU control registers can be accessed at any time, while the processor registers
and caches can only be accessed when the processor has entered debug mode. The
trace buffer can be accessed only when tracing is disabled/completed. In debug mode,
the processor pipeline is held and the processor state can be accessed by the DSU.
4.2.2
Debug communication link
The SpaceWire-RTC device includes a debug support unit communication link that consists of a UART connected to the AHB bus as a master. The debug communications link
implements a simple read/write protocol and uses standard asynchronous UART communications. The simple communication protocol is supported to transmit access
parameters and data.
A link command consists of a control byte, followed by a 32-bit address, followed by
optional write data.
4.3
LEON2-FT Peripherals
The AT7913E SpaceWire-RTC includes all the standard LEON2-FT peripherals.
4.3.1
Interrupt Controller
The Interrupt Controller is used to priorities and propagate interrupt requests from internal or external devices to the integer unit. 15 interrupts are handled, divided on two
priority levels.
A Secondary Interrupt Controller is included to support the 32 additional interrupts used
by the additional on-chip peripherals of the AT7913E device.
4.3.2
32-bit Timer
The timer unit implements two 32-bit timers, one 32-bit watchdog and one 10-bit shared
prescaler. The functionality of the timers has not been modified with respect to existing
implementations, to allow for software compatibility.
The watchdog functionality is used for overall software timeout handling and is the basis
for error management.
10
7833B–AERO–05/09
4.3.3
UART Serial Links
Two identical UARTs are provided for serial communications. The UARTs support data
frames with 8 data bits, one optional parity bit and one stop bit. To generate the bit-rate,
each UART has a programmable 12-bits clock divider. Hardware flow-control is supported through handshake signals.
4.3.4
16-bit General Purpose Input Output
The 16-bit general purpose input output port can be individually programmed as output
or input. Two registers are associated with the operation of the port; the combined
input/output register, and direction register. When read, the input/output register will
return the current value of the port; when written, the value will be driven on the port signals. The direction register defines the direction for each individual port.
4.3.5
Memory Interface
The SpaceWire-RTC memory interface is implemented using the LEON2-FT Memory
Controller that supports the following:
• 8-bit PROM with sequential EDAC,
• 8-bit SRAM with sequential EDAC
• 32-bit PROM/SRAM with parallel-EDAC
• 8, 16, 32 bit I/O without-EDAC (wait-state and/or ready handshake)
• 16 bit GPIO (byte-wise) when less than 32 bit memory used
4.4
On-Chip Memory
The SpaceWire-RTC device includes a fault tolerant on-chip SRAM with embedded
Error Detection And Correction (EDAC) and AMBA AHB slave interface.
One error is corrected and two errors are detected, which is done by using a (32, 7)
BCH code. Some of the features available are single error counter, diagnostic reads and
writes and auto-scrubbing (automatic correction of single errors during reads).
The on-chip memory comprises a 32-bit wide memory bank of 64 kbytes of data.
4.5
FIFO Interface
This FIFO memory can be accessed as an on-chip memory or as an external interface
of the chip via the Memory Interface.
The FIFO interface supports transmission and reception of blocks of data by use of circular buffers located in memory external to the core. Separate transmit and receive
buffers are assumed. Reception and transmission of data can be ongoing
simultaneously.

ADC/DAC Interface
The SpaceWire-RTC includes a combined analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) and digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) interface.
The ADC/DAC interface provides a combined signal interface to parallel ADC and DAC
devices. The two interfaces are merged both at the pin/pad level as well as at the interface towards the AMBA bus. The interface supports simultaneously one ADC device

AT7913E Advanced Information
and one DAC device in parallel. Address and data signals unused by the ADC and the
DAC can be use for general purpose input output, providing 0, 8, 16 or 24 channels.
The ADC interface supports 8 and 16 bit data widths. It provides chip select, read/convert and ready signals. The timing is programmable. It also provides an 8-bit address
output. The ADC conversion can be initiated either via the AMBA interface or by internal
or external triggers. An interrupt is generated when a conversion is completed.
The DAC interface supports 8 and 16 bit data widths. It provides a write strobe signal.
The timing is programmable. It also provides an 8-bit address output.
4.7
32-bit Timers
The SpaceWire-RTC includes a General Purpose Timer Unit that implements one prescaler and two 32-bit decrementing timers.
4.8
24-bit General Purpose Input Output
The SpaceWire-RTC includes a 24-bit General Purpose Input Output core. The AMBA
APB bus is used for control and status handling.
The core provides 24 channels. Each channel is individually programmed as input or
output. Additionally, 8 of the channels are also programmable as pulse command outputs. The default reset configuration for each channel is as input. The default reset
value each channel is logical zero.
The pulse command outputs have a common 20-bit counter for establishing the pulse
command length. The pulse command length defines the logical one (active) part of the
pulse. It is possible to select which of the channels shall generate a pulse command.
The pulse command outputs are generated simultaneously in phase with each other,
and with the same length (or duration). It is not possible to generate pulse commands
out of phase with each other.
4.9
CAN Interface
The SpaceWire-RTC includes a CAN controller. The CAN protocol is based on the ESA
HurriCANe CAN Controller VHDL core.
The controller uses the AMBA APB bus for configuration, control and status handling.
The AMBA AHB bus is used for retrieving and storing CAN messages in memory external to the CAN controller. This memory can be located on-chip or external to the chip.
The CAN controller supports transmission and reception of sets of messages by use of
circular buffers located in memory external to the core. Separate transmit and receive
buffers are assumed. Reception and transmission of sets of messages can be ongoing
simultaneously.
4.10
SpaceWire Link Interface
The SpaceWire (SPW2) Module is used for transmitting and receiving data over a
SpaceWire link. It provides support for transmitting any type of protocol or data structure
using SpaceWire packets.
12
7833B–AERO–05/09
It provides hardware support for receiving two types of SpaceWire Transfer Protocols,
and can relay packets of other protocols to software. The SpaceWire Virtual Channel
Transfer Protocol (VCTP) implements multiple virtual channels (only one implemented
in SpaceWire-RTC) on a single SpaceWire link. The Remote Memory Access Protocol
(RMAP) implements remote memory access to resources in the node via
the SpaceWire link.
Data received over the link by the SpaceWire CODEC are temporarily stored in an
RxFIFO. Data are then stored to memory by the SpaceWire Module via direct memoryaccess. Multiple Virtual Receive Channels (RxVC) can be used, each with its private
memory area to which data are written. In SpaceWire-RTC one channel (RxVC(1)) is
used for storing VCTP packets, and one channel (RxVC(0)) is used for storing RMAP
responses, RMAP commands not supported by hardware and packets of other types of
Transfer Protocols.
All RxVC share the same link. The SpaceWire Module implements hardware support for
the RMAP. RMAP is used for remotely accessing resources on the local AMBA bus. The
RMAP implementation can receive commands and generate responses, utilizing the
aforementioned RxFIFO and the TxFIFO.
Data to be sent are read by the SpaceWire Module from memory via direct memory
access. Data are then temporarily stored in a TxFIFO when forwarded to the SpaceWire
CODEC for transmission over the link. Multiple Virtual Transmit Channels (TxVC) can
be used, each with its private send list stored in memory from which data are read. In
SpaceWire-RTC one channel (TxVC(0)) is used for automatic RMAP responses, and
another channel (TxVC(1)) is used for transmissions set up by the user. All TxVC share
the same link. RMAP responses have priority over transmissions set up by the user. The
arbitration is performed for each packet sent.
4.11
JTAG Interface
The JTAG interface (compliant with IEEE-Std-1149.1) is used for the purpose of boundary scan testing during manufacture and test of printed circuit boards hosting the ASIC.

5. Typical Applications
The capabilities of the SpaceWire-RTC device are not limited to support the CAN bus in
the instrument controller unit (ICU), but also allows it to be used in an on-board computer (OBC).
The AT7913E SpaceWire RTC is perfectly suited for application requiring cost optimizations as it can be used in both payload and avionics.
5.1
AT7913E in ICU
The SpaceWire-RTC device can be integrated in the instrument controller Unit (ICU)
that acts as the payload data processor and mainly receives payload data from instruments and produces processed data to be down linked. The main data communication
is performed via the SpaceWire network. The ICU is however controlled and monitored
via the CAN network from the On-Board Computer (OBC).
5.2
AT7913E in OBC
The CAN controller in the SpaceWire-RTC device acts as a remote terminal that is
being managed by the OBC. Alternatively, the SpaceWire-RTC device can be integrated
in the On-Board Computer (OBC). Since the OBC acts as the network manager on the
CAN network, the CAN controller carters capability such as node management and time
distribution. The OBC also communicates or manages the SpaceWire network via
SpaceWire links.
5.3
AT7913E on payload
The main application of the SpaceWire-RTC device is however in instruments or individual experiments of the payload. It provides an abundance of interfaces, each with a high
degree of programmability and configurability. It is able to acquire analogue and digital
data, generated by connected peripherals and to generate discrete commands towards
the same peripherals.
