Interfacing to the Toshiba MIPS TX3912 Processor S1D13504

3 S1D13504 Host Bus Interface
The S1D13504 implements a 16-bit Generic MPU host bus interface which is used to
interface to the Toshiba TX3912 processor. The Generic MPU host bus inter face is the leas t
processor-specific interface mode supported by the S1D13504 and was chosen to
implement this interface due to the simplicity of its timing.
The Generic MPU host bus interface is selected by the S1D13504 on the rising edge of
RESET#. After releasing reset the bus interface signals assume their selected configuration.
Note
After reset, the Host Interface Disable bit in the Miscellaneous Disable Register
(REG[1Bh]) will be set to logic 1, meaning that the S1D13504 will not respond to any
host accesses until a write to REG[1Bh] clears th is bit to 0. When debugging a new
hardware design, this can sometimes give the appearance that the interface is not work-
ing, so it is important to remember to clear this bit before proceeding with debugging.
