RealView Logic Tile

multiplexing to combine with the PB926EJ-S slave outputs must be done with tristates in the RealView Logic Tile FPGA and PB926EJ-S FPGA. (This combination of multiplexing and tristates is identical to that used in Integrator Modules).

It is recommended to use AHB M1 (not AHB M2) for expansion slaves in a RealView Logic Tile. The large address space will permit simpler decoding which will allow the bus to run faster. Avoiding the AHB M2 bus will make development simpler because design errors will not stop the PB926EJ-S peripherals from working. The RealView Logic Tile FPGA must respond to all transfers in the range 0x14000000–0x1F000000. These addresses could be directed to a default slave as described in AHB M1 on page F-11 or to a simple zero-wait state OKAY response. The HRESP and HREADY outputs must be tristated if other addresses are selected.

If there is not a RealView Logic Tile fitted, a default slave in the PB926EJ-S FPGA is enabled and accesses to this range receive a simple zero-wait state OKAY response to BUSY and IDLE requests. An ABORT response is returned for active transfers.

AHB S

The PCI bridge in PB926EJ-S FPGA contains an AHB master that can drive the AHB S port of the ARM926EJ-S PXP Development Chip. If a RealView Logic Tile implements another expansion master then it also must add an arbiter for this AHB. This arbiter takes HBUSREQ from the PCI master in the FPGA and drives HGRANT back to that master. If the RealView Logic Tile does not contain any expansion AHB masters then it should drive HGRANT permanently to 1. There is a pullup resistor that does this when no LT is present.

If a RealView Logic Tile contains multiple expansion AHB masters then it must also include a multiplexor to combine these master outputs. The final stage of multiplexing to combine with the PCI master outputs must be done with tristates in the RealView Logic Tile FPGA and RealView FPGAs (This combination of muxing and tristates is identical to that used in Integrator Modules).

A RealView Logic Tile that implements an master on the AHB S bus can also access an AHB M1 or AHB M2 slave implemented in the same RealView Logic Tile or in a different RealView Logic Tile in the tile stack. After the RealView Logic Tile is granted control of the S bus, requests to the slave buses on the tiles are decoded by the bus matrix in the development chip.

Example RealView Logic Tile implementation

Figure F-6 on page F-13 shows a RealView Logic Tile that has a single master and several slaves.
