Hardware Description

The ARM926EJ-S PXP Development Chip incorporates the following features:

ARM926EJ-S

 

The ARM926EJ-S CPU is a member of the ARM9 Thumb® family. The

 

ARM926EJ-S (r0p3) macrocell is a 32-bit cached processor with

 

ARMv5TE architecture that supports the ARM and Thumb instruction

 

sets and includes features for direct execution of Java byte codes.

 

Executing Java byte codes requires the Java Technology Enabling Kit

 

(JTEK).

 

The ARM926EJ-S contains a Memory Management Unit (MMU), 32KB

 

data and instruction caches, and 32KB of data and instruction Tightly

 

Coupled Memory (TCM). The TCM operates with a single wait-state and

 

provides higher data rates than external memory.

ETM9

The Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) provides signals for off-chip

 

trace. The ETM transmits a 16-bit packet to an external trace port

 

analyzer where the signals can be stored and later analyzed to reconstruct

 

the code flow.

VFP9

This high-performance, low-power Vector Floating-Point(VFP)

 

coprocessor implements the VFPv2 vector floating-point architecture.

MOVE

The MOVE coprocessor is a video encoding accelerator designed to

 

accelerate Motion Estimation (ME) algorithms within block-based video

 

encoding schemes such as MPEG4 and H.263. For more information on

 

the MOVE coprocessor, see the ARM MOVE Coprocessor Technical

 

Reference Manual.

MBX

This high-performance graphic accelerator operates on 3D scene data (as

 

batches of triangles) sent from the main processor. Triangles are written

 

directly to a tile accelerator so that the CPU is not stalled during

 

processing. For more information on the MBX coprocessor, see the ARM

 

MBX HR-S Graphics Core Technical Reference Manual.

Clock control

The ARM926EJ-S PXP Development Chip contains deskew PLL that uses an external reference clock to generate internal clocks for the CPU, AHB bus, memory, and off-chip peripherals. Dividers in the chip are programmable and give considerable flexibility in clock rates for the CPU, bridges, and memory.

AHB buses The ARM926EJ-S processor uses two separate AHB masters for instructions and data to maximize system speed. The DMA controller has two AHB masters. The CLCD controller has one AHB master.
