23.4.2.4 XGATE Memory Map Scheme
23.4.2.4.1 Expansion of the XGATE Local Address Map
The XGATE 64 Kbyte memory space allows access to internal resources only (Registers, RAM, and
FLASH). The 2 Kilobyte register address range is the same register address range as for the CPU and the
BDM module (see Table 1-22).
XGATE can access the FLASH in single chip modes, even when the MCU is secured. In expanded modes,
XGATE can not access the FLASH when MCU is secured.
The local address of the XGATE RAM access is translated to the global RAM address range. The XGATE
shares the RAM resource with the CPU and the BDM module (see Table 1-22).
XGATE RAM size (XGRAMSIZE) could be lower or equal than the MCU RAM size (RAMSIZE).
The local address of the XGATE FLASH access is translated to the global address as defined by
Table 1-22.
Example 23-3.
The MCU FLASHSIZE is 64 Kbytes ($10000) and MCU RAMSIZE is 32 Kbytes ($8000).
The XGATE RAMSIZE is 16 Kbytes ($4000).
The space occupied by the XGATE RAM in the global address space will be:
Bottom address: ($10_0000 minus $4000) = $0F_C000
Top address: $0F_FFFF
XGATE accesses to local address range $0800–$BFFF will result in accesses to the following
FLASH block in the global address space:
Bottom address: ($80_0000 minus $01_0000 plus $800) = $7F_0800
Top address: ($7F_0800 plus ($F800 minus $4000 minus $1)) = $7F_BFFF
Table 23-21. XGATE Implemented Memory Space
Internal Resource Bottom Address Top Address
Registers $00_0000 $00_07FF
RAM $10_0000 minus XGRAMSIZE1
1XGRAMSIZE is the hexadecimal value of XGATE RAM SIZE in bytes.
$0F_FFFF
FLASH $80_0000 minus
FLASHSIZE plus $8002
2FLASHSIZE is the hexadecimal value of FLASH SIZE in bytes.
Bottom address plus $F800
minus XGRAMSIZE minus $13
3$F800 is the hexadecimal value of the 64 Kilobytes minus 2 Kilobytes (Registers).
