A.2 Coprocessor interface signals

The coprocessor interface signals are shown in Table A-2.

TableA-2 Coprocessor interface signal descriptions

Name Type Description
EXTCPA Input External coprocessor absent.
This signal must be HIGH if no external coprocessor is present.
EXTCPB Input External coprocessor busy.
EXTCPCLKEN Output External coprocessor clock enable.
EXTCPDIN[31:0] Output External coprocessor data in.
EXTCPDOUT[31:0] Input External coprocessor data out.
CPnCPI Output Not coprocessor instruction.
When LOW, this signal indicates that the ARM720T processor is
executing a coprocessor instruction.
CPnOPC Output Not opcode fetch.
When LOW, this signal indicates that the processor is fetching an
instruction from memory. When HIGH, data, if present, is being
transferred. This signal is used by the coprocessor to track the ARM
pipeline.
CPTBIT Output Thumb state.
This signal, when HIGH, indicates that the processor is executing
the THUMB instruction set. When LOW, the processor is executing
the ARM instruction set.
CPnTRANS Output Not coprocessor translate.
When HIGH, the coprocessor interface is in a nonprivileged mode.
When LOW, the coprocessor interface is in a privileged mode.
The coprocessor samples this signal on every cycle when
determining the coprocessor response.
CPnMREQ Output Not coprocessor memory request.
EXTCPDBE Input External coprocessor data bus enable.
This signal when HIGH, indicates that the coprocessor intends to
drive the coprocessor data bus, CPDATA. If the coprocessor
interface is not to be used then this signal must be tied LOW.
